On mushies... In San Antonio on business for four days! Help!



Recommended Posts

I am on business in one of the best cities to eat in. Because they are all business meetings, Breakfast, lunch and dinner I have to eat with my co workers. Some places are not sleeve friendly :biggrin0:, but I am managing to maintain a fairly healthy diet. This am I had a scrambled egg, lunch chicken breast and a couple of fr fries, dinner 1/4 tortilla Soup and a few bites mashed pot. Any suggestions on eating out during this phase... I'm exactly 4 weeks post op today!

See if you can get your egg poached with some cheese on the side, refried Beans with some sour cream, order a burrito and eat the inside, you can order some of the thicker Soups like broccoli/cheese or potato Soup (it's higher in carbs, but it's a good go to food early on when we eat so little), some can eat shrimp on mushies because it can be chewed down to nothing. I'm drawing a blank on anything else.

If you have any control about where you eat you may be able to do chinese and get tofu, or really soft cooked veggies. Tofu is in loads of Chinese food and is masked well so you get Protein but it wouldn't be yucky. Beef w/broccoli is also not high in carbs and if you could skip the beef portion it might be yummy. Sorry I don't have other ideas. Good luck!

lunch meats, cheese, hard boiled egg, chile relleno, the chicken in a tamale is pretty soft, oatmeal, Soups, the instead of a burrito was a good idea from tifffy, i just had that tonight. i just ate around the tortilla. Chile, ground round. use your imagination. i would try a french dip without the bread :biggrin0:)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
