I also find myself eating the same foods....lots of protien shakes and greek yogurt.

Suggestions on what to eat?

I ate some club crackers and humus and Cottage cheese as well.

I also had a 2 week stall at the same time. Your body has to readjust to all the weight lost. Then all of a sudden it will be ready for another drop and the weight will fall of again. You will have stalls all throughout. Very normal.

Keep positive a don't forget to measure once a week so the stalls don't discourage you as much :)

food ideas...I am 12 weeks out today. I am a low carb eater so you can adjust to fit your lifestyle.

Breakfast: I usually have Greek yogurt, scrambled egg w/ turkey sausage, cottage cheese or a Protein drink

Lunch: deli meat and cheese, veggies w/ Greek yogurt ranch dip, leftovers from dinner, cottage cheese w/ marinara (heated up, sometimes w/ turkey pepperoni and mozzarella on top)

Dinner: I eat whatever I make my family, only will modify for myself. Last night, chicken breast w/ jalapeño havarti on top, grilled w/ mushrooms, small dollar of mashed sweet potatoes (I had to skip the salad, no room). Night before was tacos. I put my toppings (seasoned ground turkey, black Beans, cheese, salsa and Greek yogurt) in a bowl instead of tortilla. Tonight will be baked tilapia, steamed broccoli, carrots and cauliflower and leftover sweet potatoes.

Snacks: almonds, string cheese or cheddar stick, Protein frappe or iced coffee, occasionally a few wheat thins smeared with a Laughing Cow Lite wedge, Protein Bar if I'm in a pinch or on the road.

Hope this helps a little. Also, when I'm not losing or losing only a little, that's when my body changes the most.

I like the hummus that are snack size with the pretzel thins you can find in the deli. I have been eating a lot of hb eggs but am getting bored with the same old food. I found high Protein Quaker oats oatmeal which is good 10gms of protein.

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
