Six weeks out I was down about 50 lbs. I was only eating cream of mushroom Soup - about 3/4 can a day and drinking my Protein shakes. I wasn't able to tolerate any other foods except sugar free popsicles and sugar free jell-o. I could nibble on boiled eggs, but it was less than a teaspoon full every once in a while. I had a 1/2 cup container filled with my egg salad mix and it took about 2 days to get it all down.

I was deliriously happy I was eating so little.

I'm 7 weeks out, and at 6 weeks I had lost about 26 lbs since surgery. I'm also eating eggs, grilled chicken, brussels sprouts, turkey slices, cheese, tuna fish. I am able to eat all kinds of things, just small amounts. I also stay away from breads and white carbs of all kinds.

I've ate white chicken chili with gluten free cornbread ,taco's, Omelets with, ham, taco meat (left over from dinner the night before) along with some of the fixin's and cheese .Broccoli cheese Soup. Meat loaf. Quiche with turkey, ham or just cheese and veggies. Today I try'd bbq pork Jerky as a snack.. (it was heaven) Turkey meatballs with cream of mushroom soup. Turkey meatballs with 0 calories, 0 sugar ect dressing. Tonight I made a recipe I found on here for cheesy meatballs (3 oz) and try'd steamed carrots (1 oz) total 4 oz. didn't even finish my meal. 2 bites of meat left and 2 of carrots. Also tuna fish and crackers. It was a great feeling knowing I had our tool to stop me from eating until I puke!

I actually don't remember where I was at 6 weeks out, but I was on soft foods. I ate a lot of refried Beans ... LOL

I actually have a YouTube cooking show with my mom, and this weeks episode is about exactly that!! Here's a link if you're interested:

      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.
