Soft foods

Oh ok, I guess your doctor decided to skip all the other stages you said you were on...

Good luck :)

I was on clear for so many day, full liquids for so many, then puréed, and now soft. Following my plan as instructed. I'm sorry but I guess everyone progresses differently.

Then my apologies... I was just going off of something you wrote a few days ago about your progression.

Good luck on your journey

I see there is a Fresco Style MexiMelt, but not sure exactly what that means, though I see the site says it is a 25% reduction in fat. If you are not ordering it Fresco Style, the nutrition information on these is not the greatest. 7 grams of saturated fat, 730 mg of sodium ... OY! And it is a soft tortilla, so the breads is basically nutritionally irrelevant while taking up so much valuable stomach real estate. Perhaps just try to eat the insides of a Fresco Style if you are in a pinch.

** Edit ***

To the OP, once you progress to solids and begin with the routine of eating lean Protein first, then you will get the expected restriction.

I order them without the salsa. I eat the remainder' date=' shell and all. It all goes down really easily. 220 calories and 14 grams of Protein. My doc told me to aim for 350 calories and 20 grams of Protein per meal. That is the closet thing I have found that I can get down.[/quote']

Just a question. Are those numbers correct? Cause that means only 23% of your calories are coming from protein? That seems incredibly low. Especially for someone recently sleeved.

Hey thank you for your replies. I thought the eggs were too much but I sat down and actually times myself as I was eating and the longer I take eating the more I take chewing the more I eat so I am able to eat two scramble eggs but I feel stuffed afterwards so I've settle for one and let's say I'm not satisfy than I'll have the whites from another. So I wanted to let u guys know also just as an experiment I went to buy a meximelt from Taco Bell I was able to eat only the chicken ( I asked for chicken instead of meat) and the Tomato inside of it I couldn't see myself eating the pita nor did it fit. I guess my sleeve is not too big after all and I think I'll stick to my turkey, Soups, eggs like I've been doing. I wouldn't want to "strech it". :D

        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
