chicken or turkey breast low sodium cold-cuts. I also bought chicken sausage with spinach and feta, grilled it up and then cut it into tiny pieces and took the casing off. One link is 15g of Protein and super filling.

canned chicken , fish, refried Beans, any other kind of cooked Beans, hummus, cottage cheese, ricotta and string cheese, laughing cow spreadable cheeses, and types of soft foods that are not crunchy or stringy like celery, cooked veggies. The most important thing is to not take too large of bites. Use the size of a pencil eraser as a guide and chew until nothing left to chew and use 1/4 - 1/2 cup at one time. Cheers!

I made a ricotta "lasagna" bake with cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, mozz all mixed together, topped with marinara, could add sausage or ground beef if your sleeve can tolerate that, and top with extra mozz. Bake until heated thru. I baked several in little glass ramekins. Each little ramekin lasted at least 3 meals. It was a good departure from eggs and made me feel like I was eating "Italian" food again. :)

For lunch I usually do tuna salad that I make (light mayo, dill and lemon juice) with 2 saltines. It fills me up. I have also tried chili and drain the liquid. For dinner, I have had grilled salmon and grilled zucchini (cut the seeds away), turkey meatloaf (was a tad dry so used ketchup), my FAVORITE, baked avocado with an egg in the hole where the pit was. Top with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese bake at 425 for 15-20 min. It is amazing!!! Tomorrow I am making spaghetti squash as a pasts replacement with some marinara and cheese. If you look on the recipe forum you will find lots of "mushy" recipes! good luck and enjoy!!

Tomorrow I am making spaghetti squash as a pasts replacement with some marinara and cheese.

It's funny, the first time I tried spaghetti squash it was served to me like spaghetti. I was told it was squash, but was told that it's spaghetti. I hated it. The next time I tried it, it was just the squash with some olive oil, garlic and a few other light herbs. Fricken loved it!

It's the same way with veggie burgers. Don't lie to me and call it a burger, it will disappoint everytime. But tell me you made veggie patties and I am in the right mindset for it and it's OK.

If you are looking for a serious Pasta replacement, I heartily recommend Banza chickpea "pasta".

14 grams of Protein in 2 oz?! Sign me up! I liked it quite a bit in a cheese and sauce bake.

        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
