In terms of solid foods, I was able to add well-cooked green Beans, cottage cheese, and string cheese at Week 4. Week 5 I added scrambled eggs; Week 6, I added salmon, and Week 7, I added chicken, ground beef, and ground turkey.

Right now, I eat scrambled eggs once per day, cottage cheese twice per day, string cheese twice per day, and chicken, ground beef, and salmon once per day each. I am getting between 800-900 calories per day, less than 20 carbs per day, and around 90 grams of Protein per day.

How many ounces are you eating at a time?

Are you still drinking Protein drinks, or getting your Protein just from your food. Also how much can you eat at a time?

I eat 1 egg twice per day. I eat 2 oz of each meat accompanied by 1 oz of green Beans each time (3 "meals" total). I eat 1 string cheese twice per day, and 4 oz of cottage cheese twice per day.

I am about to start solid foods and just want to know an idea of what some of you eat daily.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost 5 months post-op, so this will look like a lot of volume to you:

Breakfast is a cup of coffee with a scoop of Protein powder, for 20g +/-. Sometimes I also have a greek yogurt, but I'm not a Breakfast lover and the Protein in my coffee keeps me going until later in the day. A single-serve greek yogurt is 15g protein and if I don't have it for breakfast, I'll have it at lunch time.

Mid-morning, I'll have a cheese stick (8g) or a couple of apple wedges with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter (4g).

Mid-afternoon, an ounce of almonds (6g) or 1/2 cup cottage cheese with pureed no sugar added preserves (15g)

dinner is usually two ounces of some kind of protein, like salmon (15g) and a couple of ounces of a vegetable.

Before bed, if I need more protein for the day, I'll eat more almonds, or another cheese stick.

Other things I eat regularly are Beans. 1/2 cup of refried Beans with a T of grated cheese (6-7g)

Lentils, 1/2 cup with sauteed onions (8-9g)

When I reached mushy food stage I was able to have deli turkey, ground beef, shredded chicken, fish and scrambled eggs. So when solid food hit the next week, I was able to add grilled and baked chicken, pork and denser beefs. And all vegetables except tomatos.

At 4.5 mths out, I have a Protein shake for breakfast, for lunch and dinner, I alternate between eggs, beef, chicken, tuna salad, chicken salad, turkey, ham. Usually 2-4 ozs.. Add in a couple of bites of veggies and i am full. cheese for a snack if needed. And sugar free popsicles are still a staple in my freezer.

Haven't met a food I can't tolerate. I take small bites and eat slowly (most of the time) I also eat out a lot so leftovers are always in my fridge.

      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.
