I'm Mexican and love Mexican food I was sleeved on November 13th I can eat Beans really good and refried beans too and caldo de Rez really good but carnitas are too greasy I agree. I'm not suppose to eat rice yet but ate arroz con Leche the other day and it went down fine

I think the pozole would be fine. I ate pozole really early out. If your on a full diet try a tamale. It's really hard to say what can be tolerated as everyone is different.

Hi, congrats on your surgery.

Are u on a full diet already? I was barely on full liquids going into pureed on day 12...

I would think your stomach would still be very sensitive to the spice food and all the manteca they use making the tamales.

Do not rush into eating heavy laden fat food..

I am almost 4 months out and very careful with what I eat, especially hot spice food.< /p>

Remember Protein first...ALWAYS...

Have a very merry Christmas with your loved ones

I am 6 1/2 months out, but at the beginning I did 2 weeks of liquids, 4 weeks of puree, 4 weeks of soft and then regular. Every Dr is different, just follow your Dr's plan. I just want it to say that this has been the best decision that I have ever made in my life, I wish I will have done it sooner. Please send me an email if you have any questions.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
