Really is there a such thing?

Yes I have it. They have it to me when they sent me home from the hospital.

Don't think you can have salads at 5 weeks yet... Chicken' date=' steamed veggies, very small amounts of mashed potatoes, lean beef, Soup, chili...depends on what stage you're in[/quote']

I heard it's best to stay away from starchy food

It is, but depending on your tolerance you may be able to have a little bit.

I am 5 weeks and 4 days post operation. I went out to eat with my girlies. I had scrambled egg, cottage cheese and a bite of Ham. I had Water with lemon to drink. I took my time had great conversation and enjoyed myself:)

Marla, I always eat off the kids' menu. Chili's is the best bc you get 4oz grilled chicken and steamed broccoli for under $5!! I've never been out of the country, but you have a great idea there with seafood.

I studied abroad 2 years ago. food in Europe is all fresh no preservatives and south better for you. In Spain on the coast they serve a lot of sea food so you should be fine. Just avoid the fried foods( not like ours but still fried ) and sweets and you'll so fine. Are you traveling anywhere else?

I went out at five weeks and had a cup of beer cheese Soup and a bit of shrimp. I am now only six weeks but my surgeon upgraded my diet and I can now have regular food. I just know I need to be careful so I still will probably stick to the easy foods...at least for awhile..

I'm not even going to ask for a card. Most of the stuff on the kids menu isn't healthy at all. I'd rather just order what I want and have leftovers for a few days.

Red lobster does have kids crab legs!!! But yeah, even my 8 year old usually orders off the adult menu cuz he doesn't want a cheeseburger or chicken nuggets....

you are so right because I'm from germany and I didn't even put on any weight until I move to the States.

      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
