I need snack ideas. I eat the same thing every day in between Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I am bored.

I can eat anything at this point. I am 7 weeks post op

Thanks

My Snacks are usually reduced fat string cheese, Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt with some granola or Kashi Cereal mixed in, 1 oz. of dry roasted lightly salted peanuts, some sort of meat stick (like a beef stick, but usually turkey instead), and Protein Bars.< /p>

I have light and lively greek yogurt, it's only 80 calories and they are so good. I have snack

bags of thin pretzel sticks, 100 calories per bag and if I want something a little sweet I get

animal crackers, 16 crackers are 120 calories. I know they have carbs, but I am still losing

weight so I am good with them. Every now and then I will have 2 oz of ice cream but that is not

much. I can't eat much at a time so when I want something I eat it but only a small amount. If

you don't have something that you want every now and then you will get board and do things you

should not. This is a lifetime change and it is not easy for any of us. It is depressing some

times when I am out with family and friends and I can't eat. My family understands and they are

an inspiration to me. I eat anything that I want to eat after I get my Protein in and it is

working for me. Try different things, I found that my taste buds have changed. I can't eat the

bad things that I use to because it tastes bad now. I think that is normal to. I keep my calories

at 800 - 1200.

corkyg: I hurt when I first take a bite of something. The Dr. gave me a prescription for hyoscyamine

I put one under my tongue 1 hour before I eat and it really helps with swallowing and it eases the

pain when I eat. They did an upper G.I. and found that when I eat my stomach has spams. You might

want to discuss this with your surgeon. I don't know if it is common after sleeve surgery. I hope

it gets better for you.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
