Chipotle chicken bol, no rice, with green chile salsa and easy on the sour cream/cheese.

Jose Pepper's Pollo Magnifico (lunch portion, and I box 60% of it up) - hold the tortilla, double rice instead of rice & Beans.

Today it's turkey pepperoni and cottage cheese - I like putting the cottage cheese on the pepperoni "chips" and eating them together, mmm.

tuna wrap, Soup or cottage cheese and fruit. I never (well hardly ever) ate cottage cheese before banding but I love it now. It's got lots of Protein, easy to make, don't have to worry about hurrying to finish eating before I have to go back to work.

I still struggle, i just plain dont like lunch unless someone makes it for me and puts it in front of me. Not fond of sandwiches at all.

I've been making more of an effort lately - Soup and a bread roll, or a lean cuisine (which actually arent bad, I have a phobia of these things, I feel like I"m going to die of salt and MSG poisoning). They're not fresh and healthy like a salad but they're better than grazing on crap all day which is generally the alternative.

I like toasted sandwiches, but I like them full of salami and cheese, so probably not a good idea.

My favorite bandster lunch is Olive Garden salad, dressing on the side, one breadstick and a to go cup for my raspberry lemonade that I'll have to enjoy later or I take a sip if the breadstick needs a little help going down.

      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.
