I eat a scrambled or boiled egg occasionally. Diet mayo. I have eaten tuna, mashed potatoes (bad for carbohydrates, but they are satisfying). Ground serloin patty (small) without the bread, but with ketchup. Beef meatballs and gravy. I sneak in Rice Chex. They are carbohydrates but satisfy my need to crunch and they have no wheat. chicken is good in small doses. I have lost my taste fo Pasta. (I can't believe I am saying that.) I try to stay away from wheat anyway. I still drink Protein drinks especially in the A.M. No salads yet. But I have eaten canned beets with low-cal Catalina salad dressing, which I like. Canned asparagus. Yogurt and cottage cheese. Mozerella and Halvarti cheeses. Jello. Minestrone Soup. Bannanas. Everything must be chewed very well. I eat very tiny portions.

THE BAD NEWS: My husband has lost 5 pounds without even trying!

Apparently, not bringing home ice cream and pastry anymore has had a beneficial effect uopn his weight, too. :blush: I must have been a bad influence. :lol:

Tried grouper and got a lousy fillet from Publix. It was on sale and my husband got a good one but I didn't. I never had bad grouper before. Didn't eat it. :P

There probably have been other "real" foods, but that's all I can remember right now. I have to look into Protein Bars. I haven't done that yet, but have to read the labels to see if they are any good.

All the best,

Cococat

Look at Premier Protein bars, the drinks are approved so maybe the bars are as well. I am eating almost the same stuff you are on my pre surgery diet so after there should be no surprises. I am even practicing chewing. The hardest thing for me right now is sipping Water. I am a "gulp 8 oz in one swallow" person, and find when I sip I forget to drink and don't get my 64 oz in.

i really appreciate having you to talk to it is first hand experience from my doctors office. It makes it more real.

By the way, don't you hate men that can loose weight just by thinking about it. I like tilapia for a fish. I put about a

tbsp of mayo on the fillet, sprinkle with a bit of parmesan cheese and bake. I find that delicious.

Take care.

Doing ok. Still in hospital. Sounds like I will be able to go home tonight. I'm still in a lot of pain. The surgeon started the surgery laporscopic, but ended up having to open me up because of scar tissue from previous surgeries. So I have 5 little incisions across the top of my stomach and then a big one from my belly button down. That one is about 6 inches. I am doing well on the clear liquid diet, but I a so ready for this pain to get better. I am only lasting about 3 1/2 hours with pain meds. Then they seem to get out of my system very quickly.

Thinking of you, hope the pain improves soon. Bad shock to expect a couple of little holes and ending up with a big scar. All th ebest, keep us posted

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
