Peek. Glad you to tolerated your food well. I think I'm gonna start mushies Sat so I am making my grocery list.Does anyone have ideas of what I should pick up?

I plan on getting my items tomorrow. I know eggs& tuna, but looking for more suggestion.I love trader Joe's, so going by there after dr appt Friday.

Peek,I know you don't like mayo but do you have an aversion to ranch dressing? Someone recommended adding that To canned chicken or tuna-just a thought.

How about this. Lets create a FB group, make it private and a few of us "techies" can test it out before the end of the month to make sure nothing is seen by anyone ! and I'm like Kathie, I love Bariatric Pal. I have two tabs open on my browser, FB and BP. Great to have so many people to talk to about this !

LOL Peek, yup, it is !!! Welcome to the group Peek's Ticker :P

I am also 2 weeks just started "foods". Refried Beans, low fat cheese, scrambled eggs, plain yogurt, refried beans, modified tuna/chicken salad. It's interesting what different facilities suggest. I am like several of you, surprised how full you get and how quickly. Them trying to get 3liters of Water on top of that! It's a challenge, but all well worth it!

Kathy812 that's exactly how I feel. Am I going to overeat, mess this up, hurt the sleeve not know when to stop.

Just taking my time, paying attention to my body, not being distracted while I eat. One of the hardest things I have found, is not fringe able to drink whe I eat! I suppose I'll get over that!

Good luck!

So is it safe to say we are all worried that something is going to happen and we will not be successful?

I've been overweight my whole life. I've been looking at boards and people's stats, and I just feel there's no way that I'll ever get thin. I have that 'It won't happen to me, something is going to happen" feeling. Weird !

Hate this feeling tonight !

Congrats!!!! How did your new sleeve handle the Jello and broth?

It's going okay, but the gas pressure is right at my diaphragm so it is a little painful to swallow. I'm thinking it should be much better tomorrow!! The broth is actually pretty soothing.

Everyone, I am definitely happy to be on the mushy diet but my doctor doesn't even want me eating potatoes or cream of wheat or any grains. He said to only eat the high Protein for my three little meals. I would love a little baked sweet potato, lol. I will have some at the holidays!

        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
