My program won't allow any salad for at least 6 months. I can eat small amounts of pretty much everything by 4 months though. Diversify your diet to get better nutrition. Contact your Nut for suggested foods. Check Eggface's blog for great recipes. Don't be scared to eat--just chew thoroughly and eat very small amounts at a time with adequate time in between and you'll see there is nothing to fear.

Great job! That amazing weight loss! Now my doc does not allow salad for quite a while either - but I know different doctors and nutritionists have different plans. I am sure your nutritionist has some ideas if you give her a call. For the first 6 months our big deal is to make sure we get in our 65grams of Protein and 65 ounces of water/liquid.

But here are some things I think you can try. Frittatas and scrambled eggs - you could throw in some diced ham and cheese - maybe turkey sausage. It is getting colder - so maybe time for some chili? Saw a recipe for pizza with a califlower crust on Pinterest that someone on here tried and said was great. I made some eggplant parm last night with roasted eggplant, parm cheese, spaghetti sauce, and eggs. It was great. Steamed fish.

Scroll through the recipe section..I posted some recipes there for stuff like crockpot carnitas, chicken quinoa salad, crockpot chicken and mushrooms, Mediterranean chicken, baked tilapia, etc. all good stuff and loaded with Protein and nutrients.

Try everything that is allowed by your docs plan. Try small bites at first and go from there. I would also say that things you did not like post op you may find you LOVE now. I was not big on Asian food pre op, but there was a time I felt like I could not get enough of it

        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
