I'm going back to work next week and was looking for some lunch ideas. First two weeks I'll be on soft diet then move to regular food. Ideas or recipes would be great.

Honestly my favorite lunch is rotisserie chicken leg and 4 Brussels sprouts lol. I also like ham and cheese Rollups with spinach.

I like the Sunkist tuna pouches 2.7oz (I believe) and Walmart usually has lots of different flavors. I also like cottage cheese (with a little Hidden Valley Ranch powder from costco mixed in), canned chicken or turkey slices with goat cheese (rolled up). I bought the 4oz Ziploc containers and use that as my guide.

When was your surgery?

My surgery was 3/31. Today I had a turkey mini meatball I made with a bit of Tomato sauce. I was going to make some bean Soup. I love the idea of the meat around the cheese. I know I can only have shredded cheese on my puree diet but not sure on soft food diet. Currently the smell of tuna is too much for me so going to avoid that for awhile. Thanks everyone for responding.

I love turkey rolled up in a piece of alpine lace Swiss. I also bring 1/4 cup part skim ricotta mixed with sugar-free caramel Syrup and a dab of imitation rum extract.

heck no lol I buy them from BJ's for $4.99 I can't even buy a raw chicken for that amount.. Definitely worth buying them premade.. Especially when I get them on sale for $3.99 at our commissary.

I will make chicken burgers on a weekend and freeze them and eat one at lunch. I also eat rotisserie chicken with a small side of steamed veggies. Turkey meatloaf/balls. Deli meat with cheese and Greek yogurt.

        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
