I know this sounds crazy but my "go to" is Extra Lean Turkey franks, (50 calls each) mini babybel cheese LIGHT (50 cals) and 100 calorie guacamole packs with cut up green, red peppers and cucumbers as "chips." I also love homemade vegetable Soup and chili. string cheese. I also found EAS shakes that are only 110 calories, great taste and 17 grams Protein. I add a cup of coffee, ice chips and "nurse it" for a couple of hours. Also, the "Eggface" Protein Bites made in mini cupcake tins with eggs, cheese and veggies are great to have on hand.

Not sure where you are on your food phases (how many carbs you're eating, etc), but I'm a year out and in maintenance. So my grocery lists are a little like this usually:

Rotisserie chicken

Veggies to make salads

Feta cheese for the rotisserie chicken salads

Hidden valley ranch packet and light sour cream to make veggie dip

Sargento reduced fat Colby Jack string cheese (60 cals)

Boars Head turkey pepperoni

Fiber One Cereal (I eat this for Breakfast daily now)

Skim milk (only for the cereal)

Crystal Farms brand three cheese omelets (240 cals) I eat them on occasion, once every two weeks or so

A few Amy's brand organic meals (kind of high in sodium, but I like them when I'm in a pinch)

High fiber/low carb tortillas

Deli meat

Luna blueberry/vanilla Fiber bars

Lots of vegetables

Maybe a couple pieces of fruit, but I don't really like fruit, so usually not

Ground turkey

Chicken breasts for stir frys

Brown rice

Do you ever use Greek yogurt for the dip instead, I'm not up on cals. Does sour cream have less?

Also, have you ever tried the 100 cal packs of wholly guacamole ( I actually like the Walmart brand better). It is excellent for dipping veggies in and a good fat.

Yeah, I do the lower cal lean cuisine or smart one meals a few times a week too. Like 230 cals or so since I'm 3 plus years out.

I eat Special K Protein cereal with soy or skim milk ( just enough to "wet" it. :) some mornings

I love mini babybel light cheeses. 50 cals. And sometimes just grab a couple of these for breakfast.

I don't use Greek yogurt. I hate all yogurt unfortunately. Same for guacamole. I want to like it so badly, but I just don't! :)

        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
