Recommended Posts

I am going on my 6th week almost with my new sleeve and i just want opinions with my diet.

for example i wake up take my Vitamins go to work drink Water then usually have a yogurt or boost then more water then maybe for lunch lentil Soup or veggie chili or just a Protein Shake then more water then a small cheese circle or stick.

dinner is like chicken with ff brown gravy or tuna or chicken salad. soft carrots or soft broccoli

weekends is 1 to 1.5 scrambled egg, vitamins water lunch is tuna or chili snack is yogurt cheese

lots of chobani and lots of SF pops

tonight i branched out. i had a thin baked pork chop. scraped all the breading off.

plus i had 2 long asparagus.

with a fork full of whipped mashed potatoes.

am i doing ok? am i eating too much or too little? is what im eating ok for my sleeve?

thanks in advance.

am almost 14 weeks out; when I was first cleared for the stage 5 diet I was very concerned with how little I could eat and how difficult it was to eat things like chicken. My surgeon said don't worry, everyone is at their own pace and it is okay to stay on mostly liquids longer. He was right, your body lets you know if what your eating is not working. I can eat almost anything now, although beef and pork are still easier for me than chicken. Morning shakes also work well for me, I get half my Protein and a quarter of my Fluid on my drive to work. I started with premixed but now make my own with skim milk, protein, and fresh fruit using a ninja.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
