I'm still pre-op but my diet is mostly meat veggies and dairy. Some starches if I've eaten all my Protein for the day

I developed celiac disease and lactose intolerance post sleeve, so now I'm pretty paleo. I eat an egg and apple slices for Breakfast and lunch, an ounce of almonds for Snacks, and for dinner some homemade grilled chicken or beef and grilled veggies. No food after 8pm. Black coffee or almond milk lattes if I drink something other than Water. If I really crave something sweet I may have a banana, or berries. Every once in awhile I'll have 100% dark unsweetened bakers cocoa which was quite the adjustment for me. I don't eat any processed foods and I try to only cook for myself.

I do a low-ish carb diet. I have meat and/or eggs and green vegetables at virtually every meal. I do moderate dairy: yogurt, whey Protein powder, grass-fed butter, and occasionally small amounts of cheese. I eat fruit and nuts as Snacks (in addition to Jerky and more green veggies). Excluded: grains, starchy veggies, dairy milk, alcohol, Beans and legumes, and sweets.

I make rare exceptions on special occasions, but they really are rare. This particular plan works well for me because if I eat sweets or other carby foods my cravings go absolutely insane. This diet keeps them in check.

This sounds very much like what I plan on doing.

I do high Protein, moderately low-carb (*not* ultra low-carb). Sort of like a South Beach thing. Or a Mediterranean diet without the bread, rice and Pasta.

I follow a lower carb diet, around or under 50 carbs a day. I try to avoid most sugar and grains. My last time I successfully lost weight I followed whole 30/paleo. I will probably go back there. Except I still rely on Protein Shakes, so I need a bit of dairy. Although, I never feel like I'm "on a diet" anymore. Heavy cardio and weight days I can eat a bit more carbs.

I have a milk intolerance and I'm allergic to wheat so.... I use a pea/cranberry Protein from Arbonne that is soooo good and carries 20 grams of Vegan protein per serving . They also have a flavor free Vegan protein that I add to shakes and Soups as needed. Instead of milk I love the Silk Protein Nut Milk - it has 10 grams of protein per serving and it works well for me. This isn't an Arbonne commerical, however, they have these things called Fit Chews that are low in sugar and taste great. I enjoy the lemon ones the most. They are good for when I need a little something sweet.

      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
