That sounds great! Are your numbers for Protein? Are you using the regular laughing cow cheese? I think the cheese I use only has 1 but it's light.

Yes protien. ..umm.....I could be wrong on the cheese. I didnt double check before posting. It is a light one. I thought that's what it had.

I have trouble with eggs sometimes. I can't do hard boiled. They are too dry. Scrambled are better but stilll dry for me. I do scrambled with a pinch of fat free shredded cheddar and it makes eggs way easier to eat. That is pretty much Breakfast every day. One egg scrambled with a pinch of cheese and 2 black berries.

I like to make an omelet. Just a pinch of cheese, onion, bell pepper, spinach, mushrooms, and a little Tomato. Really good and juicy because of the veggies. Here lately for breakfast I have also been trying cream of wheat but with a little extra milk added to it to thin it up. You can add some fresh fruit to it or cinnamon and sweetener of some sort. Yummy. Also I came across this Cereal that is mainly seeds. pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds and a few more I can't remember. It is very good. Sometimes I will sprinkle a little of the cereal in my greek yogurt for a texture. Yummy.

I am only 10 days post op and still on liquids but I see these tiny meals ( a egg and 2 berries) and was wondering if that is how small our pouch is or is it the Portion Control diet

I don't know if that is her tolerance level for now, but I can usually eat two eggs.< /p>

Thats all I can eat when I eat eggs....for now. I'm only a month post op. But I can eat a whole boca burger. Its really strange. My doc said that I will eventually be able to eat more....but for now I am still doing pretty small portions.

I'm 18 days post-op. I haven't moved to soft foods yet -- just recently moved to pureed. The most I can take in is about 1/3 of a cup. It's shocking to me because I used to be able to eat more food than anyone I know.

Everyone is different. Have you discussed with your doc? I have no issues with those foods....even not pureeing them....I just chew really really good. But like I said no two of us are alike :) I hate to hear that protien is what your having trouble with. Have you tried thin cut lean deli turkey....I lived off that during phase 2. Cut it up and mix it with laughing cow or some plain Greek yogurt and garlic. Maybe the other meats are too dense...even pureed.< /p>

      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.
