TOFU! so yum if you cook it right. try the silky tofu in a Soup. My fav tofu dish I can't have anymore... deepfried tofu covered with sweet chilli sauce, pineapple and cucumber... nom nom nom. But don't do that.

and don't forget the humble egg. and fiiiiiiiiish

I know I do not get enough Protein in my food, and since surgery I am not a big meat eater anymore. I just drink my Protein Shake @ 50 grams of protein per shake. I usually have a yogurt and cottage cheese daily so I get about 80 grams daily.

Weird how every surgeon is different.. Mine wants me to drink one Protein Drink a day.. 2 if I can.. And do that forever! I still get a good bit of protein from eating

Sorry kristy, I never saw this- silky tofu is really soft cream like tofu. You can use it like cream. Some people add it to pudding, Soups for a creamy base or some Desserts. It helps boost your Protein and is flavorless.

My surgeon said the same thing. I try to get as much as I can in, then if it isn't enough come night time I have half of a Protein Bar.

Dairy products and cheese are good sources of protein, Beans, soy products. I'm really tired of meat also.

      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.
