eggs, cheese, Peanut Butter, ff refried Beans with ff sr cream, Protein Shakes (if I could stand them), sf puddings/jellos, whole wheat toast, flat out bread, fish was added this week...I am 1 month out...I am lucky I am still experiencing no hunger or thirst..but I can't stomach the shakes (trying to get Protein by food) and I struggle with the water....

I was sleeved the same day. I am on puréed. I tried eggs and had horrible chest pains. I can handle beef (taco meat, meatloaf), mashed potatoes, refried Beans and such. My fave has been cottage cheese with taco seasoning.

I am 5 weeks out today and i eat ground chicken, low fat cheese, greek yogurt, tuna, fish, eggs, refried Beans, PB2- i pretty much just eat Protein so i won't have to drink as many shakes. My doctor's plan allows 3 meals a day that are 2 ounces at each meal and then supplement with Protein Shakes, milk, sf popsicles in between.

I was 4 weeks Monday. I am there with you on the shakes and Water. I am trying to do the food protein instead of the liquids. I haven't been very adventurous with foods--but I'm going to have to!

Sleeved 3/18/13 and allowed eggs yogurt refried Beans cottage cheese and sf pudding. My diet was advanced to this at my one week postop checkup. The only thing I have eaten is cottage cheese and refried beans no more than 2 oz at a time. The thought of plain eggs makes me ill which is why I have not eaten them and I can barely stomach the sicky sweet Protein Drinks which is why I won't eat sf pudding either. I am so exited for my 3 month postop visit because I will be given more foods to eat.

Right now I am making mashed sweet potatoes sometimes mixing in some cottage cheese, eggs, creamed spinach (which left over mixed with the eggs is yummy, pastina, lentil Soup home made and pureed, cream of broccoli soup, sweet potato and pear soup....

Hi. I haven't started my purée stage yet and am still on Protein Shakes which makes me so nauseous so I will try to get my Protein through foods as well. I can't wait to start my puréed stage.. Thanks for responding.

I was 3/1 so I'm almost 6 weeks postop and can now pretty much eat anything...citrus fruits next week. I'm still scared of strawberries because of the seeds but am dying to add some to my vanilla Protein Shake with banana. Anyone else eating them?

Edit 3 week postop visit not 3 month. Any who my visit was today incisions look good. Blood pressure was 110/70. I have been off meds since 3 days after surgery. Down 22 lbs! I went to the grocery store after visit with nutritionist and spent $100 my eyes are definitely bigger than stomach. For dinner I had a slice of deli ham that was .6 oz with a wedge of laughing cow queso cheese spread on it which I rolled up. It was very 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.
