@@sleeveisa glad you are doing a little better. I am having issues getting all my Protein as well but giving up isn't an option just one day at a time and focus on your healing.

@@dmw0621 I hate the soft mushy diet My mama says I hate everything that is good for me I just want a salad.

@@QueenBx girl I want Chipotles. But I have to admit that I'm liking mushy. I'm in Texas and there must be like 4 bbq spots not far from me and I like to get the smoked chicken thigh (no sauce), it's tender and gets mushy easily, plus the flavor is amazing. But I can only eat about half before I get full.

Are you expermenting with your food? I was bored at first b/c all I ate was yogurt, cottage cheese, Soup and canned tuna. I just odered me a pressure cooker, I'm going to try to make my own healthy version of soft mushy Protein and veggies.

Are you getting your Water? I'm still having trouble! Any ideas please share.

@@QueenBx, I'm hanging in there. I've been off course for about two weeks. I need to get back on track starting tomorrow. My last nut appointment is on Jan 5th. I have decided to change surgeons and surgerys. I'm going to Emory @ John's Creek with doctor Hart and getting gastric bypass.

Hi

I am using Dr Hart at emory also. But I don't have a surgery date yet. How do you like Dr Hart and his staff?

Omg! I haven't been experimenting just yet. I am getting Water in finally! I have a 20 oz. cup that I keep all day and I always keep it filled. By the end of the day I have drunk over 60 oz of Water. I also do crystal light so that I'm not drinking plain all day, so after I drink 20 oz of plain water, I fill my cup up with 20 oz of crystal light.

How did you make your tuna? I want to try it but scared that it will not taste right. All I eat now is yogurt and mashed potatoes.

For my tuna I use 1 small can of tuna, mayo, mustard, sweet relish (about 1.5 tsp), a boiled egg, salt and pepper and a little slap your mama. Today I plan on trying deviled eggs.

Wow 60 oz!!!! Thats a lot, are you drinking or sipping? Maybe my problem is I'm still sipping. I keep Water with me everywhete I go but I'm never able to finish it all and I'm so tired of crystal light. But you doing 60 oz means it can be done. I'll just have try harder.

@@Blessed618 welcome to the losers bench! Hope you have a safe and speedy recovery!

@@dmw0621 I like all that in my tuna to lol plus some sugar but my nut says no lol only mustard and low fat mayo (how boring). So how were the deviled eggs? Try to set a 15 min reminder to sip Water all day and I had friends and family sending me text messages to remind me to drink. After a couple of days of that it helped me become more mindful to drink.

@@sablebby, I think his office is great. I don't have my surgery date yet either. I have my last nutritional visit on Jan. 5th, so, hopefully, they'll submit to my insurance. Which procedure are you getting?

Yes, I felt the same way. How do you feel about his recommendation? I'm still nervous about getting the bypass, too. :-/

@@QueenBx what has your nutrition approved you to eat? I'm just curious because I never received a list of does and don't. I was told to eat soft meat and veggies and chew until mushy.

      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.
