I'm about 10 weeks out, and I'm still eating lots of greek yogurt, chicken breast, and Protein bars, and a daily Protein shake. I have eaten nuts a few times but they don't seem to sit well with me. I've also tried salads, and that was a terrible mistake.

I'm SO tired of the SAME things every day. I do not like any kind of fish/seafood, so chicken it is, I guess. Even though I can eat more, I'm still not getting in the required amount of Protein. I'm seriously struggling and need any advice or suggestions you may have!

At ten weeks I was eating ground red meat, including beef, pork, bison, elk, etc. Also lots of turkey. Non-meat options such as cottage cheese, eggs, tofu, and refried Beans. Good luck to you!

I'm 7 weeks postop. I can pretty much eat anything except tough meats.

This is what a normal day looks like for me:

Breakfast - Syntrax Peanut Butter Protein shake

snack - Dannon Light & Fit strawberry yogurt

lunch - Scrambled egg, Protein pancake, or some kind of protein from a restaurant

Snack - Mozzarella cheese stick with pizza dipping sauce

dinner - Whatever I cook for the family. Last night it was taco cups (flour tortilla in a cupcake tin, fat free refried Beans, with ground meat and a little cheese...baked). I was able to eat about 1 to 1-1/2 of them.

I haven't been eating enough veggies, so i plan to talk to my NUT about it and tweak my eating plan.

I enjoy steak. salad is OK but I consintrate or the vegtables not the lettuce. There are many things one can add to Greek yogart. I just tried Kellogs brand. Its tasty. There are a million ways to make eggs. I take eggs to work quite often. Standard is 2 eggs add one wedge of a flavored laughing cow cheese and I will shave in a very small amout of spanish cherizo for favor. 1.5 minutes in the microwave and Breakfast is served. If I were you I would start working on eating seafood. It is great when propery prepared.

I made chilaqiiles for dinner

Take 1 rotisserie chicken and shred it (leftovers work great). About 1 cup more than enough

Take 4 flour tortillas. Toast them in a pan (no oil). Brown hen just a little

Rip them apart

Place 1 tablespoon oil Ina pan

Add ripped tortillas

Then add your shredded chicken

Then add about a cup of tomatillo salsa (I made my own)

Then sauté for a few minutes

Add two egas scrambled. I used whites so 4 whites

Sauté and stir until eggs are Cooked through

Serve

Family enjoyed the dinner and I of course took this mixture on my plate and removed tortilla, puréed it with a little more tomatillo salsa. Yummy!

I am cooking recipes for the family using ingredients I can eat and just purée my version

I'm a week away from being 6 months out. Lately I've been eating nothing but chicken, turkey, fruits and vegetables! Been trying not to snack or eat any kind of breads/pastas. So far it's working out!

      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.
