Trying To Learn A New Way Of Eating Pre Op



Recommended Posts

I have been trying new things that are high in Protein. I actually like Greek yogurt but I'm having a hard time with cottage cheese. I can eat it but i don't enjoy it ( which is fine I'll still eat it for the protein). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prepare cottage cheese to taste a lil better? What protien foods do you eat that is low in volume but high in protien other than the obvious such as meat? Thanks in advance, I know my taste may change but I'm trying to get an idea of mean sources of protien.

Add a little Torani peach Syrup to it. Or choppy he heck out of some canned peaches.

My nutritionist recommended ricotta cheese as an alternative since I'm not a huge cottage cheese fan either.

Sprinkle a little Mrs. Dash in it...It amps the flavor up without unecessary calories.

You can try farmers cheese. I am Russian and We make it at home :). It's yummy and not so strong in flavor.

The most important thing is to learn to eat slowly and small bites. That one takes a while

I had never heard of farmers cheese so I googled it & I'm going to try it, thanks. I have been practicing small bites/sips & chewing forever before I swallow :) hard than it sounds!

I just started putting salsa in my cottage cheese and I really like it. Also try ricotta with some maranara sauce. I eat a ton of shrimp and I make a greek yogurt wasabi sauce which I love on my salmon too. I tend to get most of my Protein from fish and cheese since I dislike meat. Just watch the calories with the cheese.

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

      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
