Getting Tired Of Eating

So as my menu expands, I've noticed that is harder to get the Protein in. Today I had ham w low fat fetta cheese on an ultrathin half of a small pita. Since I need to chew until is completely pureed, I was a quarter through and I wasn't enjoying it anymore. I was 'tired' and eating the whole thing seemed daunting. I got rid of it and made myself the equivalent of protein grams w a shake. It was much better. Same thing happened yesterday w/ a quarter cup of mini shrimp and avocado. The food sits well in my tummy. It just seems like so much work to eat anything other than yogurt, Protein Shakes, cottage cheese, and lentils. I am 3 weeks out. Has this happened to anyone?

Great question.... I am only 5 days out and my Dr told me pureed foods on day three. I am so afraid of hurting my sleeve. I have tried a soft egg for two days now and I end up not eating it and go get a protein shake....

That's cool. I'm also 5 days post-op (well 6 now) and I can't have pureed foods for another week. I bought a bunch of organic baby food before hand that is now in the freezer because I can't eat it yet.

I am noticing the same thing. It just seems like such a hassle to eat anything anymore. Although, I'm starting to enjoy cooking a bit, the process of eating just is Daunting! I'm also noticing since I am not 7 weeks out, and can and have been adding solid foods, that I'm even farther away from my daily Protein goals than I was when I was on puree and liquids right after surgery. Any advice anyone has on this topic would be great! Maybe I'll just stick with drinking a few Protein Shakes a day and only eating one meal a day to be able to keep up my protein intake. I think that's the reason I've stalled out a bit on my weight loss right now.

Oh and as to the baby food, I tried a few jars of that, and it was so bland, that it made me vomit. I just couldn't tolerate it at all!

I am almost 4 months out and have a Premier Protein shake for Breakfast everyday to make sure I get my Protein in if I had to depend on only food I don't think I would get enough protein I aim for about 60_ 80 grams a day and usually make at least 70

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
