I know starch is bad I was talking about the fat content and such and I also know that there are other butter alternatives and I know everything that I'm eating now doesn't have Protein

You're not eating Protein? Then what the hell are you eating? You're supposed to eat low carb low sugar high protein. Fat should be one of the last things you look at, it's important, but not as important as making sure the protein is high and the carbs/sugar are low to none. Idk what diet your surgeon put you on but if you're worried about fat and not protein then as of now you're ass backwards

well being only 2 weeks out I'm drinking my protein....most of my intake is sf stuff like Jello, pudding, applesauce, etc....The only thinks I've eaten so far with Protein is Wendy's chilli and tuna but those were only for a few days....and I'm pretty sure I'm A Ok and the diet my surgeon gave me is perfectly fine....my concern isn't fats if that was the case I wouldn't have gotten the procedure...you dont know what I'm eating to assume anything....please keep your negative ASS comments to yourself...I didn't ask you for that and if you want to be bitchy then be bitchy on someone else's post....thanks have a great day!!

I'm gonna miss popcorn' date=' too. I just got my braces off last August, so I pretty much went 2.5 years without eating popcorn. Had a brief reprieve when I got them off, and now... No more.

I wonder if you could try thin pretzel crisps, if you get a craving for something crunchy. I'm talking just a couple, not the whole bag. LOL[/quote']

yea I love pretzels too lol! I have a long ways to go before I can even think about eating popcorn or pretzels I just wanted to know if it was still option and if not what were some other options...thanks hun!

My doc says normal foods after 2 months....avoid sweets and fats but nothing is forbidden if eaten in appropriate quantities and chewed well.

I was just about to say something about that horribly negative post, but you beat me to it! Totally not necessary...

All your talk about Wendy's chili is making me want to go out and try it (and I hate chili!) Am going to try tuna today. But I must bow to you, Lisa, for actually attempting to purée your food. I just cannot do it. I'm just trying to chew everything well, and having a hard time with that, too. I sometimes wish we didn't need food to survive. I'm happy drinking my Water and Crystal Lite every day. :-)

lol yea that kind of touched a nerve BUT please please try the puréed chili it's really really good the tuna too and the trick is to the tuna is to not over purée it bc it's already soft and it'll feel like your eating mush but I'm so ready for this stage to be over....isn't Crystal Lite a savior though?! lol I tend to drink it to fast and have to remind myself to sip and not gulp

I was never told no popcorn and have eaten it many times since with no problem. Check with your doc.

I'm with you, I was never told no either, and I've eaten it here and there, a little bit!

Hey, I occasionally eat popcorn that I make myself with canola oil and kernels, a little salt. Satisfy's my urge, never movie popcorn again! Also, Newmans own makes Protein pretzels, not the best but not the worst. I lots of protein each day. To me is better than eating cakes and Cookies, french fries etc. Yes I know people that are eating those they get sick daily!

        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.

      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
