Feel like I'm eating crap



Recommended Posts

So I'm on the mushy phase and i feel like all I eat is crap. I can have mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs. I have two of the three pretty much every day.

Greek yogurt is really good with a scoop of unflavored Unjury powder. Packs a good Protein punch. It won't be long before you can spread your wings a bit. Just let your tummy heal. You'll get there.

Refried Beans with a little cheese or unflavored greek yogurt (tastes like sour cream but higher protein).

cheese sticks (loved string cheese in the early days)

chicken or tuna salad (I love doing chicken salad with a few red grapes chopped up, some mayo and a touch of curry powder)

I don't like Beans or Greek yogurt. I have been doing well with cheese though! I don't like tuna, but I had some mushy salmon and it made me throw up almost instantly

Yeah I am ready for some real meat and not so many carbs. I don't eat a lot of carbs normally so having grits, mashed potatoes, refried Beans, Etc is not my cup of tea. I have had Greek yogurt but dairy and I never got along too well. But it's just a little longer--one more week--and then I can have fish and other higher Protein.

It can be very hard at this stage - so don't beat yourself up! Just do what you can until you can start introducing the real stuff.

I lived off of canned ham mixed with low fat mayo. High in sodium, but it helped with my meat cravings.

I know what you mean with the lack of options. I'm very adamant about eating clean - artificial ingredients actually make me ill & finding all natural foods that fit what I'm allowed to eat does not offer much variety. Look for this yogurt called Smari, it's Icelandic yogurt. It's higher in Protein, lower in sugar, and in my opinion tastes better than Greek yogurt. Target carries it.

Icelandic yogurt is great as shared. There are many brands and sometimes it is called Skyr. It is smoother and not bitter like Greek yogurt. I wouldn't eat it all day because it has much more carbs -- I don't think I have ever seen it in plain flavor.

Smari does have a plain flavor too. I think they call it Pure instead of plain.

Lowfat cottage cheese and eggs are both pretty healthy... you can also try stuff like chili made with ground chicken or ground turkey - lowfat meat is already ground up in there and you get the healthy Beans too... also bean salads with most any bean - black, kidney, edamame, or chickpeas - are very healthy.

They have chili that comes with no Beans, you have have lentil Soup (if u like lentil), egg drop Soup, also go to website "the world according to eggface" and try her ricotta bake and cheese cauliflower since you like cheese - these r delicious

      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.
