An Einstein bagel slathered with cream cheese for me! Miss those but feel too good to even go down that road again.

Need some ideas for what to have tonight. I'm single so I'm only making food for myself and I'm still on the soft food stage. Any ideas??

Chili, with or without Beans. I get three meals out of a can.

I buy Gorton's frozen skillet crisp garlic and herb tilapia fillets (5.99 at target). Just spray a small frypan with Pam, place a frozen fillet in it, cook med-low 10 mins on each side. I can eat about two thirds of it (mostly the soft middle), the dogs get the rest.

Does anyone's doctor say they need to stay away from white potatoes? Mashed potatoes are one of my favorites to make or order for dinner when out. They are smooth and go down easy. I know they have starch and sugar' date=' but I can only eat a little bit anyways.[/quote']

Mine didn't say no specifically but I didn't want to take up to much precious room without Protein so I had mashed potatoes and added a scoop of Unjury chicken Soup flavor to them. It was really good and helped me get through puréed stage.

My NUT says to have a variety and to include a bite of starch and then veggies. I am able to eat about 4 oz now. The more I eat, the faster I lose it seems. I am looking at getting some Protein Bars to supplement. There are so many out there. Anyone tried the Quest bars?

There are so very many protein bars out there. I've noticed that the less protein they have the better they taste (ie: bars with 30gr that hard core body builders eat are pretty nasty, bars that are 10-15gr are almost like regular granola bars. I choose middle-of-the-road bars with 15-20gr for the most tolerable taste with a fair amount of protein. Read the labels and find something you like - if you don't like it you won't eat it. :-)

And watch sugar content. I'm a sugar addict - I don't want to be WANTING things because they're sweet. I'm almost a month out. I still don't know if I'm a dumper or not, but I prefer to avoid the possibility of dumping by avoiding everything that's over 10-12gr of sugar.

My protocol is 7 grams and under. I don't mind following it, it prevents me from having a lot of stuff but hey I'm ok with that.

        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
