tuna packets, PB2 for some lowfat Peanut Butter, low sodium/lowfat Soups, bouillon, SF Polaner's preserves, salsa, 0 calorie dressing for a quick dip, FF refried Beans, small packs od applesauce, mandarin oranges, SF pudding, SF Jello in little cups, FF chicken broth, SF apple cider mix, canned chicken breast, taco and chili seasoning packets, and dry roasted edamame is a great salty small snack. We love French's "Sooo Creamy & Light Mild Mustard Blend" as our mayo with tuna. One tsp. has 10 calories, 0 fat, 2 g. carb, and 1 g. sugar. also, we keep a lot of smoked salmon in the freezer for a quick meal. Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Wanted to add that the Polaner's SF preserves is great with a little cottage cheese.

In addition to most of those above that Laura mentioned: split peas, pinto Beans, garbanzos, refried beans, 1% milk, frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, frozen cauliflower, SF popsicles, hash browns, white fish fillets, oranges, lemon juice and Crystal Light to add to Water, non-salt seasonings, Clif bars, Body Fortress whey powders, GNC whey powder, canned Soups like split pea and Tomato, tomato juice, vegetable juice, Special K Protein flakes, potatoes, tortilla chips. Now that I look at it all, I'm doing more with more variety than I thought. Thanks for starting this Christi, I fell less deprived than I did! ;-)

I am about a month away from surgery so I am now compiling a list of foods to buy so we will have them already on hand. (My husband is getting gastric bypass at the same time as myself).

Thanks for some good Protein choices.

      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.
