Wow....what did they say to change about your diet?

She said that I;m not eating enough Protein or eating enough calories.

She said to aim for 30 grams/protein a meal, yes 3 times a day, and to supplement with a Pshake twice a day as well. It's quite overwhelming! So far, I've found that the Jenny-O turkey burgers for lunch & dinner are my best bet, since they're right at 30 grams of Protein. They take about 45 minutes to finish, but I can finish one now. Breakfast is the hardest!

I had gastric on 1-12..one month ago. I've had no troubles, no nausea, and I can eat anything...and I mean anything including sugar. salad and meats are not a problem either as long as I chew well. My concern is that I don't feel the restriction they said I would feel when I started eating solid foods. I have to really be on my game or this isn't going to work for me.

At my two week checkup, the surgeon said I could eat anything. I took him literally and I haven't lost a pound since. Monday I started meal planning and weighing my foods so I can start losing weight again. I have to remind myself that the surgery was a tool and not a fix.

How is it going now? Have you been able to start your loss again? I'm on week 2 without any loss, and had surgery 1/11.

Hi! I had my surgery on 1/27 and have been doing great! I've lost 15 lbs so far and am very happy with that as I was probably on the lighter side to begin with. I have also been diabetes free. I'm still on puree but go to soft foods this weekend. Any suggestions on foods that are high in Protein? I don't think I have been getting in all the protein I am supposed to.

Hi All, I had surgery on 13/01 lost 7kg in my first week, then hit a stall for two weeks! (THE HORROR!!!) I avoided the scales for 3 weeks back on the losing wagon but a lot slower! It might be the January curse and blessing in disguise - I have little to no restriction so decided to start putting extra time in working out. My transition to food has had no limits but my food choices have changed drastically: I have salad with everything! Good carbs: brown rice, couscous, quinoa; Protein - of course.

I did feel I was the only one but glad to know I'm not. But better food choices = results. Started weighing myself again so will see if there is continuation in progress!

I had surgery 1/19. I've had 2 subsequent surgeries for complications, but seem to be holding my own now. It's good to read how everyone deals with different problems, I can use all the ideas I can get!

        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.

      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
