I had rny bypass on July 23 right now I'm on Protein Shakes but I go to the dr. This Thursday, I'm sure I will get to go to soft foods. I'm feeling hungry and ready but scared too. What are some things that you all tried first?

Eggbeaters, yoghurt, cottage cheese, and shakes. Pretty much what I stuck to fora few weeks at the soft foods stage.

I tried yogurt first and was elated. I then expanded to cottage cheese, and then shredded cheese with refried Beans...

Also with the shredded cheese do you think reg or low fat cheese is better?

NUT gave me an awesome recipe for noodle less lasagna. Part skim ricotta cheese, ragu spaghetti sauce, low fat shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. 18g of Protein in 1/2 cup serving. It's awesome and lots of protein. Remember to purée it. This has been my go to lately.

Pjhoyt... How do you actually make that noodle free lasagna ? I saw your ingredient list but wonder how to put it all together and how to cook it?

Search the recipe section for 'Ricotta Bake'. That's the recipe you're looking for. Variations of it can also be found on the internet. It's delicious and can be adapted to each stage. I'm 14 months out and still eat it but I top it with a meat sauce made w/ground chicken or chicken sausage. Very tasty! :-)

Just plastic tupperware, add all ingredients, microwave for 30-45 seconds and stir. No need to purée as it's already smooth ????

I also do egg salad, 1 boiled egg with 1+ tsp of miracle whip light. I like re fried Beans with salsa puréed. Lots of things we can be creative with. Haven't puréed any cooked veggies yet as most have little to no Protein. Hate Cream of Wheat and cottage cheese.

        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.

      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
