Does salmon typically go down well? I'm craving grilled salmon with salt and pepper! It's on my plan but I don't want an adverse reaction to ruin it for me :)

Salmon was actually one of the first solid foods I ate after the surgery! It went really well for me. That being said, I've had an easier time than most other people when it comes to tolerating foods. Just go slow and listen to your body as you eat. Good luck!

Be careful not to overcook it. Dry salmon goes down rough! Lol

The trick with salmon is to eat only a few bites, then wait, and eat a few more bites. For me, it slides down quite well, and then I end up eating just a bit too much, and bam barf it all up. I'm two years out, so you'd think I'd have learned by now, but salmon is one of those foods that I absolutely must eat slowly or I get sick, likely because it ends up being so dense once it is actually in your stomach.

Salmon and other soft fish in general should go down well. I was advised to try and keep it as moist as possible to ensure it goes down smoothly.

Salmon is too heavy for me. And if it gets dry, you will regret life.

White flaky fish is much easier.

I eat quite a bit of salmon. Make sure you don't overcook it though. I tolerate it much better than any form of chicken, but have to eat it slowly and stop as soon as I feel full or it will come back up.

Fish and seafood are easier on my sleeve than chicken/poultry. I think because it's so soft ... If I do have chicken, I cook it in the crockpot and it purees well.

As with everything try a small bit and see how it sits then you can eat more.

Most people it seems have to issues with salmon, but I did! Hurt like heck first time I tried about a month out. Waited about 2 more months and had it again and it was fine!

        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
