I am also 4 months out and loving it! I start the day with some yogurt and some good carbs(fruits, half english muffin, gronola) cause then I hit the gym and the carbs help maintain your blood sugar. I still drink a Protein Drink throughout the day just to make sure I am getting in all that Protein. For lunch and dinner I have fish or chicken and a small amount of veggies if I can stomach it(I'm still only able to eat 3 to 4 oz a meal) or I just enjoy the protein. I love all seafood it is so easy to mix up reciepes and its so so high in protein. Pay close attention to your tummy though cause what used to work before may not work now. I try small amounts of everything before having a "full" meal. Good Luck!

I'm 10 months post op and I have cottage cheese for Breakfast, Protein Shake for snack, Soup for lunch and somthing small for dinner. After surgery I totally do not like meat any more so I will be drinking my Protein for ever. I like to each low fat cheeses, veggies, pretzels, nuts, seeds etc. Also you may want to check with your surgeon and se what they suggest you be eating.

I was wondering today if I would become a vegetarian because even the smell of meat makes me sick, during the liquid phase, chicken broth and beef broth both made me so so sick, and I have tried chicken and beef in small portions does not agree with me right now at all :(

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
