Food for weeks 1-6



Recommended Posts

I'm a person who need variety and I have a feeling that if I do want to eat after surgery ill get bored eating the same things. Could you offer some advice on what your favorite things to eat were? So far I've bought: sugar free jello/pudding , several flavors of Protein including unflavored, applesauce pouches, and mashed potatoes. I'm trying to think of some soft foods/liquids that will be healthy! As of now I don't really want to live on Jello and pudding! Lol. Any input would help! And my surgery is September 16th!

I was like you before surgery- I went out and bought a lot of variety, but honestly I'm 6wks out and most if the food I bought is still in my pantry!! I think you'll find that after surgery your taste buds will change. I find applesauce and yogurt to be my go to food, and the taste hasn't gotten old yet!

Your taste buds change so much that I would wait until after surgery.

I am 4 weeks out and have to go back on mushy for a week. I am tired of the same old same old. I just got on with a friend of mine and he gave me some ideas. Lots of things involve eggs - so depends on what your doc says about that. Weeks 1-3 i was fine with the same few things over and over - it is just now that I want more. But chicken salad, tuna, crackers, babybel cheese, apple banana sauce - those are standbys. Plus of course my "Taco Bowls" with ff refried Beans, hamburger meat, laughing cow queso wedge, and a spoon of guac plus some taco sauce. Yummy.

      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.
