Recommended Posts

I'm aloud to have soft foods now so I made chili. This was my first time making it and the kids loved it and I enjoyed the food.< /p>

Leftover smothered chicken (chicken breast topped with sauteed onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and baked) and a little garlic-parmesan quinoa.

@@Elode I guess I have a long time to wait. I begin soft foods tomorrow. I did start two systems early I had an egg and some chili this weekend and it went fine. But no tuna fish for me.

@@Smallfry06 You will get there. I just had a salad but I make the mistake of getting full on veggies and then I don't get my protien in as much. I add meat and cheese but not enough. I get the shredded lettuce at Walmart (like for tacos) it's already cut up so its easy to eat instead of big chunks.

My program was at 6 weeks. I don't really eat salad though, it takes up too much room, and I don't feel like I can eat enough to get the level of nutrition I can get from eating other green veggies.

Don't you have a handbook to tell you what you can eat when?

I needed to use up some pulled pork I made over the weekend so I added some onion, peppers, corn and Beans. Topped with red salsa, crema (like sour cream), green salsa and avocado. ????????

Thanks! It was quite delicious. I use this method to use up any leftover meat I need to turn into something different. It works great with any pre-cooked meat, especially pulled pork, chicken or ground beef.

Last night I threw together a "taco" casserole, and I'm having leftovers tonight. I just layered a can of refried Beans, a pound of taco-seasoned ground turkey, a cup of taco sauce, and a cup of shredded colby-jack cheese in an 8 x 8 pan. Then I baked it at 375 for 25 minutes. Yum! My husband ate his wrapped in a low-carb tortilla.

        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
