I was wondering the same but not with food. I have to take my thyroid medication before i eat anything and when i take a small drink to swallow it i can tell my stomach is a little restricted right away in the morning.

I've been drinking Muscle Milk Lite in the morning (8oz early, before going to the gym, and 8oz around 10am, after the gym). lunch is typically my "big" meal for the day...usually 2 oz of lean Protein, and low-fat string cheese (1 or 2), or 1/4 cup fat-free cottage cheese. In the afternoon I'll usually have a little snack...a couple baby carrots with 2 TBSP hummus, or a string cheese (if I only had 1 at lunch). dinner is usually the meal I struggle the most with, often only able to eat 1 oz of lean meat. Most evenings I'll have a Quest Protein Bar (I love the chocolate brownie ones!)...to keep my calories up, and to make sure I get at least 85 grams of protein. :)

Breakfast is the hardest meal for me and I tend to still go for a Protein smoothie rather than eat solid food.

lunch is the easiest meal for me and I think it is because I eat at my desk while working so I tend to take a long time between bites as therefore eat more before getting full.

Good point. I also tend to enjoy a Protein shake for Breakfast. It is yummy and gives me the right amount of energy until 3 hours later at my 9 am snack time By 9am, I can eat a 3 oz chicken sausage with no problem. I sometimes feel like the same chicken sausage is too heavy if I eat it when waking up. The chicken sausage works really well for any meal and I can buy a 24 pack from costco that does not cost too much. They look like a big, curved hot dog and are 3 oz of good quality Protein.< /p>

Yep, even after all this time (more than 18 months), I still am more careful of what I eat at breakfast. My tummy is still a little grumpy, so not to much grease or anything heavy. I have a couple of soy lattes, some greek yogurt, and a piece of toast or 1/2 cup of oatmeal. No, not all at once :-) I have coffee first, then breakfast about an hour later, then another coffee around 10 a.m.

        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!

      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
