4 weeks! What are you eating?



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks, and wondering what everyone is eating at 4 weeks. I'm pretty strict on what foods to eat. Afraid to move on too fast. Any tips? On what your eating at 4 weeks. I did just start exercising..too

I'm 8 weeks out. at 4 weeks, I was still on soft/pureed foods...

I ate A LOT of hummus, cottage cheese, egg drop Soup from the local chinese place, and more hummus (hahaha).

If I went out to eat, I'd order a Soup (tomato bisque was one)...

I think I started on tuna at that point as well, mixed with a little mayo to keep it wet. Crab cakes that I made at home to keep the bread crumbs low, and of course Egg faces Ricotta bake!

Breakfast: Greek yogurt or Protein shake

Snack: Protein Bar

Lunch: cheese, turkey..or something similar.

Snack: peel - less apple or Protein Bar

dinner - seafood with a side of steamed veggies.

Next week I am going to try some fresh veggies and more fruit.< /p>

After the 22nd - will add in exercise. Now just a ton of walking.

At that point I was pureeing chicken and sour cream or chicken and cream of chicken a lot. I also really loved to puree the chicken or turkey chili from Trader Joe's. Sooo yummy and quite a bit of Protein. For something sweeter, I would puree pumpkin and greek yogurt or pumpkin and cottage cheese (personal favorite) with some cinnamon. Delish.

I'm eating scrambled eggs, cheese, deli turkey, Beans, baked fish, tuna, and chili. There's more on my list to try as I work towards solid foods.

Wow! I am 3 1/2 wks out and still on soft foods Next Thursday, I start Stage 3 and can add deli meat, tuna, canned fruits in juice or light Syrup, veggies cooked well enough to be pierced by a fork. Interesting how different the various bariatric centers advise us. Mine is very cautious, apparently. I won't be on Stage 4 till mid-August.

I'm in my 4th week too! I'm eating soft foods like eggs, cheese, greek yogurt, Peanut Butter, tuna salad, black Beans, and still having Protein shakes to get me to my goal! I also tried a chicken casserole and pureed the meat - that worked okay. Just don't much like the consistency of pureed meat!

        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
