Miss Real Food! [emoji23]



Recommended Posts

I'm 12 days post op.. And been on the purée stage since day 5. I'm starting to try other foods a little bit. Still scared to do any kind of meat right now. The chicken in the crockpot with dark meat buffalo sauce sounds yummy..thinking about trying that very soon. Once I meet the two week mark.

I've seen the ricotta bake, but it requires Tomato sauce and my doctors plan wants me to stay away from that. Do any of your doctors say no to sauce?

My dietician is cool with all seasoning, she said that all I need to monitor is how I react to them!

pureed stage, try mashed up avocado; you can use it mixed with tuna or chicken breast (canned), or mix with mashed up hard boiled eggs. Delicious!

Breaking up with food was the hardest part of this whole journey for me. And even a year+ out, I still miss food. Some days are worse than others but it's still a struggle.

Food is involved in so much - social events, celebrations, traditions. I know how my brain works and I have to be really restrictive because I cannot have just one bite - especially of certain things. It's actually easier to avoid the bad stuff entirely than it is to fight with myself if I have a bite. I have very minimal self control.

I LOVE my new body though...and I've loved seeing the progress that comes with being good. You need to break up with food the same way you'd have to break up with an abusive relationship. it hurts for a long time...you miss it...you think you need it for comfort and support. Truth is, you don't. You'll be happier and healthier without the junk. You'll find your 'zone' and you'll feel so amazing when you stay in the zone, you won't want to stray.

You can read about my food break-up on my blog if you like - www.gastricallydifferent.blogspot.com.

I am on full liquids and I am allowed tomate Soup, I am 5 days post op. What I don't get is I can have hot Cereal and oatmeal isn't that more pureed....I just want these two weeks to pass so I can start eating semi normal again. I find every surgeon has different advice.

      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.
