Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I am three weeks out and I am very curious as to how much folks are eating and sinking each day- and how often during the day.

I am three weeks out, I eat package of cream of wheat made with skim milk for Breakfast, a 6 oz greek yogurt for lunch and a scrambled egg and half a banana for dinner. I have 3 cups of sugarfree chocolate milk for Snacks. I have not been good about getting in my Water and am trying to get more today. I also eat cottage cheese and peaches for a meal also. I'd love some new ideas and go to soft foods in one more week.

Hi there! I am 2 weeks out and I eat the Rosarita canned refried beans-Vegetarian, soft tofu,cottage cheese, mashed avocado, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, cream of wheat. My doctor told me that as long as it's baby food consistency...i mash the heck out of it! LOL...I also have yogurt. You can add banana and other fruits to the blender and add to your shakes or yogurt. Oh yeah SF popsicals. I hope this helps some.

I drink 2, 17 ounce bottles of Water, 1, 17 ounce Crystal Light strawberry lemonade with two and a half scoops of unflavored Unjury Protein and 2-3 cups of decaffeinated coffee every day. For breakfast I break and extra large egg in a custard cup, break the yoke and put on top of it 1-2 tablespoons of refried Beans. 2 tablespoons of ground pork sausage (It is actually venison sausage that I grilled and then ran through my ninja blender) and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese on top. I microwave it on medium power for three minutes. Usually takes me about an hour to eat all of it. For lunch I am having 3 tablespoons of tuna fish mixed with 3 tablespoons of cream cheese. It's really yummy. Tomorrow I'm going to do one quarter cup of each and see if I can eat that much. For supper I have been having another egg and a half an avocado. The avocado and the egg yolk are about the only fat I've had in my body in weeks. Luckily for us right now we don't have to worry so much about calories since we can hardly eat anything. I was sleeved January 22 and am getting in 55-65 oz fluids and 65-80 G protein daily.

        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
