How does this food creation of mine sound?



Recommended Posts

I really liked canned corn and canned green peas... so I sometimes make a "salad" of the following ingredients:

canned corn

cottage cheese

ground beef, pan seared with seasonings

mix and serve

the corn can be substituted with canned green peas, also I sometimes combine both peas and corn together.

the beef can also be substituted with canned tuna fish straight from the can, or turkey, etc...

What do you guys think? Looking at the nutritional facts of the ingredients, it seems to be high in Protein, and not all that bad in carbs.

3 weeks out - 30lbs down

It sounds good but I was told to say away from corn. I'm almost six weeks out.

I miss corn so much, but I was told to stay away from it until about the 4th month when I can start eating regular salad again.

The only thing I can think of is they tell us to stay away from certain foods for 6 months becasue they are high in fat or high in sugar or carbs. This hinders weight loss and your first six months are when you will lose the most weight. I think they tell us not to drink for similar reasons. I think my surgeon just gave the sleevers the same book as RNY, Which does not make sence to me becasue we do not dump.

I pretty much got the same nutrition guidelines as the RNYs from my surgeon. I'm hoping, though, at my first month follow-up visit that he clears me for 'real' food sooner than is on my schedule.

I think I can have corn beginning month 3.

      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. 🤞
