I have been enjoying "Shelly's Baked Ricotta", Buffalo chicken salad made with very finely chopped/shredded chicken, lite mayo, Frank's Hot Sauce and Blue cheese Sprinkles, and shredded beef in crock pot with sliced onions & green peppers with beef broth and soy sauce. I can only eat about 3 ounces max. I can drink with no limitations but put some real food in this new stomach and it is a whole new deal!

At 4 weeks I was still on soft food. I was eating deli turkey and deli chicken, cooked veggies, canned frit in juice, one Protein shake a day, sf popsicles, Peanut Butter, triscuits, wheat thins, eggs, 2% cheese. It was awesome after being on a pre-op diet and then Protein shakes post-op.

I can eat most any animal Protein, legume, cheese and eggs up to 4 ounces per meal. No dairy (yogurt, milk, almond milk, soy milk, sugar free pudding, cottage cheese, etc) until the six month mark. At five weeks 1/2C vegetables are added but no corn, peas, or potatoes. At six weeks 1/2C of fruit was added once a day but not to be consumed at the same meal as the vegetables. I can substitute another serving of 1/2C vegetables for the fruit if I wish but not the reverse. Have to take one Co-Q 10 and 12 grams of Fiber supplements per day plus a Bariatric Vitamin three times a day. 64 oz of Water of which at least 32 ounces is plain water with no added flavorings. Sugar free Popsicles, sugar free Jello are permitted. Absolutely no snacking on anything between meals and no caffeine or alcohol. Some limited carbs are added in when I reach 75% of my weight loss. However I was advised to try not to start back on carbs if I can.

      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.
