What kind of foods are you eating?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering what kind of foods/meals are you eating if you six weeks or more post op? I am going on seven weeks post op and have craving for Chinese/Thai food. Specially Yellow chicken Curry and Veggies, Pad Thai or Fried Rice. Aren't these all bad choices? Help what would you choose/do if you were me? What can we eat off these types of food menu? Help.

Don't suffer. Order it, you'll take 2-3 bites, and you're done. Craving satisfied. No stress. Put the rest in little containers and freeze.

I'd try to avoid most of the rice, though; and don't eat it everyday or force it down in full and stretch your stomach.

How do I contact this site's moderator? The app in my iPad for this site isn't working today. Anyone else have this problem today. .??

I'm just over 7 weeks out. I am still on soft foods. So I eat soft meats and cheese sticks only. Maybe order the meat portion of what your craving and no rice.

I am 8 weeks today and can eat anything my stomach can tolerate and so far it has tolerated everything I have given it. I, like you, had a bad craving for rice, veggies and chicken. I ate it. I made it fresh at home though. I took a couple bites, was satisfied for a couple hours then had a couple more bites... at this point, it is all about what you can tolerate. Remember to chew well and eat slow.

I am 14 weeks out and I eat anything I want. As stated before 3 or 4 bites and I am good. It is awesome to not worry about food and exercise. Don't get me wrong. I log my Protein. Protein is always first . Then liquids. And I am going to the gym to exercise, to strengthen my body. Not to lose weight. It is so amazing that I don't have to guilt myself out it a strange and wonderful thing. I wish that I had done this years ago. I am 55.

      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.
