I'm not potato crazy, but when I'm tired of chewing and the thought of working my way through another meal gets to me--I eat l/2 small order of chili cheese fries. I even fried sweet potatoes once. Mind you, it's only when I know I've "had it" chewing and eating slowly.

I was never told not to eat white potatoes either. I bake all kinds.

There is little in this world better than cubed, roasted sweet potato, onion, parsnip and pumpkin, on a bed of steamed spinach, with crushed garlic and pepper in a drop of extra virgin olive oil drizzled over the top (drools)

Yeah, always fresh cut pumpkin (we don't even get canned pumpkin here, I think)

Everything gets roasted, apart from the spinach. I throw it all on a pan with baking paper, season with garlic salt, peper, and anything else that takes my fancy. I steam the spinach (or defrost , lol) and in a shot glass, half fill with extra virgin olive oil (I use the best oil I can get) crush some fresh garlic and throw it in with the oil, and whisk. Sometimes I will use some chilli, and / or ginger in with the oil.

Sweet potatoes are wonderful! I love to make them into mashed potatoes with a little splenda in them! Yummy!

I also love baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon.

AND sweet potatoes Soup.

Oh, I need sweet potatoes now....

        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
