What's on your menu for dinner tonight?



Recommended Posts

Good evening everyone,

I going to be 4 weeks post-op tomorrow. I feel terrific! I was given the green light last Friday for pureed foods. So far I've managed three nights on scrambled eggs and now two nights with haddock with garlic sauce-it's the Gortons baked in a bag and pureed nicely. So good! I've added a bit of butternut squash that's pureed too. I've had no issues so far with these.

So let's see what you all are eating. I've been experimenting on my family with a cookbook my best friend used when she was sleeved. Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery. It has different stages, surgeries and portion sizes. It's great and the food has turned out to be very tasty-at least my hubby and kids think so!

Fire away about your meals-I am loving cooking these days!

Nell

I'm 4 weeks post op as well. I went out for Mexican food with friends. I shared fajitas with my husband but all I ate were a couple of small strips of chicken and some refried Beans. It was yummy but my head wanted more than I could eat.

Leftovers. I am having chicken Soup from La Pinata. chicken breast chunks, with potatoes, carrots and avocado. Delicious, and tender. It's taking me forever to finish it though. I think I'm good for one more night.

      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
