Recommended Posts

This is my upcoming meal plan. I have carbs for the husband. I dont plan on eating those. The salads are going to be more topping heavy, less lettuce. These are in no particular order.

Rotisserie chicken with roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts

Chinese chicken salad (the leftover chicken)

Broccoli beef with rice

Beef stir-fry with chow mein

Coconut curry chicken with cauliflower rice

Pork laab with lettuce cups

Shrimp scampi with edamame spaghetti (24g Protein in the spagetti, lets hope it tastes good)

Greek chicken tenders with Greek salad

Barbacoa tacos with rice and Beans

Honey mustard chicken thighs with mashed potatoes and zucchini

Chili with cornbread

Frito pie (leftover chili, no fritos foe me)

Hasselback chicken with ham and smoked mozzarella and rosted asparagus

Sun-dried Tomato and chicken tenders over zoodles

Chicken and mixed bean Soup

Just a quick ? QueenOfTheTamazons

Are you eating the carbs? I didn't eat carbs until I was at my goal weight but I also know everyone's program is different.

I'm starting my regular foods now but have no idea what to eat. I feel like I'm still eating like I was when I was on liquid. Any ideas or recipes?

Beans are a great source of Protein, cottage cheese. Baby Bell cheese

My week of meals (dinner) is this. I'm still playing with recipes, etc.

Cheeseburger pie (heart healthy bisquick)

Zucchini lasagna

Crock pot beef stew

chicken alfredo dip (also crock pot)

chicken breast in italian dressing marinade with veggies - i eat this often

Pork chop with husband's spice rub with veggies

I don't eliminate carbs, but I keep them low because they just make me uncomfortable. Starchy carbs are low, I eat fruit, nuts, complex carbs.

Bean carbs yes... others like rice, choe mein and potatoes... no. Those are to fill up the husband while we are waiting for his ins approval.

I wasn't being a jerk, I was just curious. Like I mentioned every Dr has their own way of doing things. Sorry If you thought I was being hateful. Because I wasn't

If you were responding to me, I didnt think you were being hateful. Its an honest question for a person who was recent sleeved like I have. Husband eats way more than I can, and still has ghrenlin that makes him cranky, so I make carb sides for him.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
