Did it make you sick? How far out are you?

No, I haven't gotten sick off anything thankfully. I'm 13 weeks (3months). The salads just didnt taste like I expected. I couldn't wait to have one and then when I did it just was sort of ok. The lettuce made my stomach grumble though. But I've done lettuce wraps no issues, so it's weird.

I guess I need to call my Nut about all this. I'm 3 weeks out wedns and as far as I know I have no restrictions besides the obvious sugar, fried food and high carbs.

Is salad hard to digest or something?

My doc says to restrict salad because it takes up precious room in your pouch that could be filled with good Proteins. Also, the dressings can be problematic.

My nutritionist said not to add salads until stage 5 (8 weeks) because its harder for your pouch to digest raw veggies. Only soft cooked veggies til then.

That is so cool I hope at my 7th week check up he allows me to add veggies and salads to my meals.....I know that Protein is first and foremost at meal time, but I will be excited to add a bite or two of veggies I miss them. I never was a carb junkie as far as breads, pastas, potato etc....Whoo ho for you my dear:-)

I'm not testing the salad yet. I had solid chicken the other night (very well chewed, I might add), and it all got returned to sender :(

2 Jamaican oxtails with about 3 spoonfuls of rice, Beans, cabbage and sweet plantains. Does anyone notice that even though certain food may not be spicy to the palate, it feels spicy or burning in your esophagus and pouch?

No, just not ready for solids yet I guess. Canned chicken is fine. Soft stuff has been fine.

      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.
