Nervous to eat again...

[wlsdivanyc 2]

Got my VSG on 12/23 and going through the normal gas issues while I chug along my two week full liquid diet. I'm actually nervous to eat food again! I want to make a lifestyle change and not just eat the same way I ate before. Not sure which direction to go... Any recommendations on eating philosophies?

No, just follow your NUT's advice and eat more slowly than you think you need to. Take a little rest between bites.

Protein first. Don't drink 15 mins before or 30 mins after a meal. Eat VERY slowly. Use a tiny plate and a tiny fork or spoon (cocktail size). Eat only foods on the approved list. NO SUGAR. It's going to be hard to understand what your new "full" feels like. Don't push it
