cottage cheese, canned chicken, scrambled eggs (watch this one, some folks get sick, go for the whites). refried Beans, hummus, sugar free pudding, if you can mush it with a fork you can probably eat it fine.

I havent had the sleeve yet BUT I registered at the hosp yes2day & they gave me a packet. So for soft foods it says 2-4 oz of soft-cooked foods every 3-4 hrs such as: fish/seafood/eggs oe egg substitute, the packet from the doc says,Pimento cheese/cooked veggies/overcooked pasta/oatmeal/ground meats with gravy or broth/& low fat casseroles. I hope that helps. Im on the 7th day of my liquid diet & I would KILL 2 have some soft fish, I will almost take some raw fish at this point...lol

I am on week 3 and doing the soft foods. I get hungry right before bedtime. Does this happen to y'all? I just ate grits and I'm wondering if some of this is just head hunger:(

Yes, it happens to me. So I try to eat Breakfast and lunch a little later in the day and taking small shakes in between so that I can eat dinner and have a shake before bed if I really need to.

My nut said late night Protein is good. It keeps you metabolism working later

I get hungry all day a couple hours after eating..at night before bed the hunger is strong. I eat my gummy vitamins which help lol :-) a popsicle which is 25 calories or a wedge of laughing cow cheese at 35 calories. Someone on this site advised me that if you're hungry and you're gonna eat try to stick to Protein. Grits are carbs..you get hungry soon after eating it.

        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
