I am 5 months out as of the 7th of this month. Snacks I like are some of those mentioned and I like Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bar (Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate), Pure Protein High Protein Bar, Breakstone Doubles(Cottage cheese and Fruit), Yoplait Yogurt Parfait and I love McDonalds SF NF latte. A small is only 90 cals. Oh, a slice of Boars Head Black Forest Ham wrapped around a slice of provolone cheese...Yum Yum Yum!!! Pot Likkers are tasty too.

I take turkey pepperoni and a slice of 2% cheese (cut into tiny squares to fit on each pepperoni) and then put oven on broil and cook for 5-10 mins depending on if you like more of a soft or crunchy pepperoni

I bet if you added a dollop of pizza sauce to each pepperoni that would be good, like mini pizzas!

I second the turkey pepperoni but I put them on a papertowel and nuke them in microwave. Its almost

chip like...and of course an ounce of cheddar on the side. 1 serving of the pepperoni is 17. yummy!

      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.
