I found Kashi made a pizza 15 grams of Protein a slice. Now I could I only eat a small sliver but it was good. I've been wanting pizza so I satisfied my craving healthier. Problem is super thirsty afterwards

Where did you find it? Was it a cheese pizza?

What does it feel like when you add food back into your diet

Weird. Especially because in your head you think of all the things you want, but then in reality you're like "I'm full off this spoonful of yogurt." As you progressively move towards more solid foods with variety it kind of feels scary. I can't speak for everyone, but the surgery has forced me to become creative what foods I eat and how I prepare them. And sometimes it's a real struggle when you want to eat something but know you can't (whether it's because you're full or you know it's a bad choice) but it becomes easier.

I'm almost 11 weeks out, and it's just sort of become second nature. There are a lot of things I could probably try at this point (especially because I've never had dumping) but I stay away.

The first month is really the hardest because there are so many drastic changes you're dealing with. But it gets better :)

Tonight it was 1/2c chili with a little onion and some cheese plus about 8 small left over swtpto fries. Last night I had 3 medium sized shrimp lightly sautéed in olive oil, a minced garlic clove and juice from an orange plus a handful of baked sweet potato fries. Staying away from most meats and chicken-they haven't been agreeing with me and bread is just out of the question. In fact, aside from the Protein Bars (which I only eat when I didn't plan well) I feel like I'm eating mostly soft and slightly chewy stuff. Strange.

        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
