I have found a new love in fish, tilapia and mahi mahi yummm!! Tilapia can be broiled or baked and has 22 grams of Protein in a 3 oz portion! mahi mahi has 25 for a 3 oz portion! and no carbs to boot!! I used to hate fish but since surgery I can't seem to get enough of it =) YUM! Broiling it is my favorite though =)

I have problems with Protein shakes too, YUCK! Something about the texture and aftertaste ... BLAH! I know I have to have the Protein Shakes for now until I can get in enough meals to cover it all so I cheat LOL I go to smoothie king and get the gladiator strawberry powder with a few strawberries added in a 20oz smoothie and it is amazing! 45 grams of Protein and 3 carbs! Takes me about 2 hours to get all 20 oz in but it solves my protein problem so it is worth it!!

Have you Googled "VSG diet plan" or similar words? Many surgeons post their diet plans and offer a variety of suggestions.

As for the suggestions for soft fish on previous post - you can go to a local Trader Joes for all of these options.

I like to wrap deli sliced ham in provolone cheese for a snack in the morning between my Protein Shake, and lunch. Two wraps is about 20 grams.

I ordered some NOW whey flavorless Protein powder. It made everything I mixed it with smell like my old hamster cage I had when I was a kid.

HAHAHA! And this is precisely why I have not ordered any! lol

My go-to food to up my Protein is sashimi. tuna or salmon. 6 - 9 gm of Protein per ounce, depending on the cut.

I also rely on hard or semihard cheeses. Gruyere and Irish cheddar are my current favs. :)

Visit an online store that specializes in WLS. I like www.bariatricchoice.com. You can get a variety of products that are high in Protein. I really like the Fruit Drinks.< /p>

i live of of tilipia, egg whites, and greek yogurt.

You can get individually frozen 4 oz filets of tilipia at Walmart. You can bake them or george foreman them, and I have every kind of of Mrs. Dash available to change up the flavor.

Egg whites-I use liquid egg whites. 9 tblsp is 15 g of Protein. I add a little salsa, cheese, spinach, or even hot sauce to change up the taste.

I hate greek yogurt too, but i got some sugar free Syrup to add to it and it really improved the taste.

I also bought one of those little plastic Popsicle maker containers and added my Protein Drink to it to make Protein popsicles. :)

      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.
