I am 5 weeks out and I take Greek Yogurt or a couple pieces of carl budding lunch meat and a cheese stick. I also get those little tuna snack packs and through away the crackers.

I have taken a chicken breast that I had out and had to split into 5 meals. I just cut it and put each one in a baggie and took it on different days and reheated in the microwave.

I have taken sf pudding, cottage cheese and I get this sugar free Jello parfait at the dollar tree as well as their frozen mozzarella sticks that I microwave. There are 6 frozen ones in a package for a dollar and and I microwave 3 of them per lunch and it that is all I can eat!

I am taking Soup this week as well as a storage bowl because I can only get in about a 1/2 cup of soup per meal and it is such a waste to not finish the can.

Don't forget to take your Water or tea for the day!!!, and your Vitamins.

I think the biggest thing to get used to is the head still thinks of how much we packed for a pre sleeve lunch and it feels like we need more than 3 cheese sticks for the day, but really it almost too much!

So here goes, I have to be at work at 7 so I take my Preimer Protein shake with also.

7 to 8 am Premier Protein Shake, Vitamin and Calcium

9-10:30 Water

11 lunch, Vitamin and B12

12-1 water

130 sf pudding, or cottage cheese. or Jello, Calcium

2-3 water

At home after work I continue with water or tea

Hubby doesn't get home till 630 so then he wants to go get something to eat. I go with and order soup and then have about 3 bites of his chicken and a veggie sometimes followed by Iron.

I find after all that drinking during the day I really have NO hunger in evening and have to force myself to eat a little Protein. If I don't I feel it in the morning and want to EAT.

That's my next thing to do.. plan out meal times so I know when I can drink and when I can not. Thanks for the help!

I am at 3 weeks (on mushies), and I have cottage cheese, yogurt, refried Beans, egg salad and tuna puree (sounds kinda ick, but tastes fine) packed in 1/4 cup containers. I also have SF pudding for a snack. I'll probably also bring a shake so that I can work on getting my Protein in.... not a ton of variety in the mushy diet :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
