I am 6 days in from surgery and I am so bored with yogurt, pudding...I don't like cottage cheese so that's out...is there anything else I could eat to help me make it through the rest of my two wks?

I struggled with everything the first few weeks. Keep a good variety around. It will get easier. I wanted broth at the beginning. Good luck

My bariatric team had me get mrs grass chicken noodle Soup and cook it up but strain out the noodles. It was a lot more satisfying and did not taste like dish Water.< /p>

@@jenn2752781 Why don't you make the broth yourself? Its very easy and so much better and you controll what you

put in it. The rest of the family can eat the chicken or you can make vegetable broth as well and blend the chicken and

the vegetable together.

I'm not sure if the broth I'm using is the best but I love it and it's a beef flavored. It is not low-sodium. Called Kendall farms. And use it for my Soups all the time and I find it actually at the dollar tree.

You can eat thick Soups also. I had Campbells healthy choice Tomato and cream of chicken Soup, Anderson Soup = Split Pea, or Campbells split pea and I blended in the mixer to make smooth, Healthy choice soups, just eat broth. sugar free maple brown sugar or apple cinnamon oatmeal, Protein shakes, lite muscle milk or Premire Protein shake, get some unflavored Protein powder and add to your food. Good luck it gets easier

My pouch seems to like less flavorful foods right now. My favorite has been Campbell's Cream of Potato Soup with 1.5 cans skim milk and a healthy scoop of cottage cheese. Blend it, strain it (not much left to strain after I used the liquify setting lol) and then I put it in a travel coffee mug. For some reason I have an easier time getting it down that way than using a spoon. I think I slurp in too much air and it upsets my tummy.

      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.
