4wks out and starving



Recommended Posts

Check out the recipes section. You'll start to get ideas of how to make variations on your favorite foods. I just made a variation on mexican food tonight (recipe posted). You may want to add Beans, pureed beef, etc, to your diet for more variety. One of the ways I'll get variety is through the seasonings.

What stage are you on? There's a lot of good things to try. The Mexican recipe mentioned above looked really good. You could do ricotta bake, ground beef with cheese melted, baked white fish, refried Beans, buffalo chicken dip, egg salad, ham salad, deviled eggs (could add avocado), cottage cheese with hot pepper relish (just check sugar content). Experiment and enjoy!

Watch ground beef so early. Many have issues with it.

Soft proteins........ I would stick to the diet plan your surgeon gave you. When I was allowed soft chicken about six weeks out, it lodged in my chest. I still rarely eat chicken because of that experience that terrified me. Go slow, don't try to eat anything that isn't soft or puréed unless your surgeon tells you to. Good luck!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
