Three weeks post! Today all I been dealing with with nausea. I had some chicken salad...first time didn't totally agree.....second time, I ate less, no problem.... I have had few sugar free pop sicles today.... Water.... ice tea.... but I'm feeling blah!

What can I try for soft foods?

How do you know if you have a leak?

I am pain free, just feel head and stomach icky. Like morning sickness....

For the nausea, you might try a ginger tea - there are a number of them out there. Ginger naturally settles the stomach for many people, including me.

Peppermint tea or have your dr call you in some Reglan 5mg . You can take it 3 times a day

Does this cause drowsiness?

Crab rangoon would be EASY to do, minus the wonton wrapper and frying.

Try this (based on a crab rangoon recipe that I really like)

  • 8 ounces light cream cheese, softened
  • 5 oz crab meat, crumbled (canned is fine for this, but drain it!)
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (do this to taste - I happen to like garlic in my rangoons, but you can totally skip it if you don't like it)
  • 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Blend this up until smooth. Voila, the insides of the crab rangoon! If you want it a bit thicker, add more crab and it should become less cream-cheesy and a bit more crabby :)

Thus sounds good. Do you cook it in the oven or just eat it cold?

I'm pre-op, but I've had to deal with soft food diets before, and I've done a lot of research.

Thus sounds good. Do you cook it in the oven or just eat it cold?

I'd say it would be good heated, but because it's cream cheese it would probably tend to get a little loose, so I would definitely put more crab in, or add a small amount of binder of some sort. I've done something like this as a cold appetizer on cucumber chips, which is what made me think of it.

3-4 weeks out I was on puréed foods only. I put everything except the cottage cheese and yogurt in a food processor. Fat free refried Beans were so yummy. A helpful tip, remember its just like feeding a baby. Your new stomach can't handle some things. That's why we feed in stages. Try one new thing a day so you'll know what's upsetting your tummy. Feel better!

      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.
