I'm boring, I usually have (at least during the week)

--tuna salad or chicken salad (both made with guacamole or mayo) or sliced deli meat - about 1.5 ounces of whatever Protein and

--a babybel cheese and

--some form of soft fruit or veggies. Often a couple of prunes, the last few days I've been bringing a broccoli salad I picked up at the deli counter at our local natural foods store. For veggies, I can't usually eat more than a tablespoon (I eat my meat and cheese first).

Went to Chick Fil A, ordered a side salad and a 4 piece grilled nuggets. I can eat the 4 nuggets but only half the salad.

I keep a rotisserie chicken in my fridge, so I always have a quick go to meal. I eat it as is, on salad, with cheese, etc. I also love tuna salad with an "everything" cracker (Milton brand at Walmart - those are my new favorite). I just bought some frozen marinated tilapia from Sam's that are individually wrapped. Easy to defrost and cook for a quick meal. To get in some of my veggies/fruits I've been juicing. My favorite is apple/carrot/spinach.

Homemade.......my sweetie Tony loves to cook, so he makes Soups and other delicious things for me. This Soup has diced spiral ham, which he sautés with diced carrots, diced celery, diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell peppers in red and green for color. Once he puts that in the pot he adds whatever Beans are on hand. This week he took a large can of navy beans and a large can of kidney beans and rinsed them before adding them to the pot.(this reduces the total calorie count). He also added a large can of diced tomatoes. I suppose you could put it in a crock pot, but he put this in a large kettle and added enough Water to make it soupy. Then he threw in a heap of black pepper because we like pepper here, and let all this yumminess simmer for a couple of hours. The nutritional values are in the database of myfitnesspal.com under the name of TONY'S HOMEMADE BEAN SOUP WITH GARDEN VEGETABLES. And it makes enough to last a few days.

      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
