My sleeve is such a meanie!



Recommended Posts

So at 5 week's post op, I can't eat grits, chicken, pre op I love chicken but this thing don't....and mac n cheese (I don't know why I ate that mess I just had to try it)

I feel like I'm stuck in the soft and pureed food stage.

Can someone give me some ideas of what to eat....I'm tired of ricotta n tomatoe sauce ummm no I'm not! I can actually eat that all day. ????

But I'm tired of Beans...jello....yogurt. ...and Soup, eggs and plain oatmeal are ok but I'm just sick and tired of the selection right now....jeez I need some variety any suggestions ????

I'm suppose to be enjoying the fruits of my labor, but am scared to venture out. What are you eating? My diet is supposed to be low calorie and low fat and low carbs...ughhh

slice of pre-made polenta (available by the eggs)

tablespoon of well whizzed taco meat

pinch of cheese

(nuke it) and top with

dab of Greek yogurt

dab of guac

They must have forgot to cut out my 'taste for food' during my surgery. I still enjoy food, maybe even more now that I can't eat very much of it and I chew more, etc.

I was going to suggest chili but sounds like you have tried that. I made turkey breast meatballs the other day and they were good. turkey breast, egg, bread crumbs and shredded parmesan and any combination of italian seasonings. I weighed mine out at 1oz each and then baked them at 415 for 10 minutes. Then put some marinara on them and enjoy. The recipe made 2 dozen so I have a ton of them left over. I'm having that for dinner tonight actually.

I can tell you I was not able to eat for a little while!! I was supposed to start being able to eat after 3 weeks soft foods but it took me about a month and a half to be able to actually eat food!! Before that take it easy on your tummy and make some thickish type Soup and put it in the blender to get the pieces I recommend Hungry Girl southwest chicken chowder it really got me thru I made big batches and put in bowels in the freezer!! I just hit 3 months and feel like I am just just now able to eat "soft" foods!! tuna salad made with greek yogurt and egg whites is another good one as well as a chili cheese potato from wendys !! That was my little savior when I was out and had to eat!! Good luck!!

You know I have done the same with ground chicken but my greedy daughter ate just about all of them, and left me with two meatballs..I measured it out one tablespoon per meatball...I think I might try that again..

I put PB2 and low sugar jam in my oatmeal.

Butternut squash Soup is awesome

My friend couldn't eat chicken for 6 months after surgery.

I've found I can't eat Bacon anymore and I can't eat frosted flakes with whole milk. Bacon causes heart burn and frosted flakes with whole milk made me sick beyond belief. Hopefully it'll pass.

      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.
