Do you have a favorite go-to post-sleeve food?



Recommended Posts

As time goes by, I find myself clinging to a few favorite foods over & over again. Some have more Protein than others, but still remain my "go-to" foods. Does anyone else feel the same way? Here are 2 of mine:

Cabbage Pork Vegetable Soup - pork maple ground sausage, onions, cabbage, canned & drained navy Beans, mixed veggies, low sodium vegetable & beef broth. Cook onions, add pork sausage. Drain, put back in pot. Add broth, veggies & navy Beans. Cook for 30 minutes. Add cabbage & cook an additional 15-20 minutes. The longer it cooks, the better the flavor (in my opinion). The pork sausage & combination broths give this Soup a very flavorful taste. I measure out 1 cup & freeze it for lunch or dinner.

Stouffer's Spinach Souffle - I split the package into 2 servings & it's more than enough as I add some type of a Protein to this (chicken or even turkey meatballs)

Any others out there?

Greek yogurt, low fat lunch meat and costco rotisserie chicken. I eat least one of these items and sometimes all three every day.

If I am in a hurry and don't want to cook, I mix a single serve tuna pack with some cottage cheese and sprinkle it with cayenne pepper and throw in a few pistachios for some crunch. Doesn't sound all that good but it is and has lot's of Protein.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
