I read with interest all of the different foods that everyone is eating. Banded in December 2007 I am still unable to "eat" many foods. eggs, chicken, any beef, Pasta, veggies (even mashed) potatotes. Really hard time with any kind of fruit. Fish !!! If I get it down it doesn't stay down. Sometimes hard cheeses are okay provolone but not swiss. Chicken cutlets definitly not-pizza I wouldn't even try. So basically even though I am down 47 lbs. I would have to say that I am still in a mushie state of minds.

Any suggestions?

All indications sound as if your too tight - but hard to say if that's been your "norm" since the beginning. I was a tad too tight after the last fill for about 10 days, then things went back to normal where I can eat all the foods you describe as a problem. I would give your Dr a call and tell him your still stuck in Mushy Mode, from what I've read & my own Dr's advise - it's not best to eat that way. 3 solid high Protein meals - if your having a problem with that, then a slight unfill might be needed.

47lbs...Great loss!!

This sounds boring, but for some reason, yesterday I just thought it was the best thing ever.

For lunch I had tuna salad with avacado slices and a few cashews on top....it was so good.

And one night last week, I roasted a standing rib roast. :faint:

I see a lot of people eat tuna...I just hate tuna. :unsure: Maybe chicken in a can will be a good subsitute?

Yes, it works well as a substitute. I like both but I need a change once in a while and go with the chicken salad make from canned chicken. Just remember, that one can will make quite a bit! Try it and let me know how you like it!:lol:

      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.
