I totally understand what you mean!! food was my drug for so long it's very hard for me bc I went through so much depression and stress that I turned to food so that's always been my go to so now trying to end that addition is only through help of God. I have tried salmon twice and it didn't work at all. Sometimes if something has a lot of seasoning on it I can't eat it. chicken hasn't really bothered me as long as it's not dry. But I almost have to eat it shredded like and yes it takes me forever to eat! And that's been really hard for me bc I'm use to hurrying and eating and taking big bites and big drinks of drink so it's definitely hard learning to eat again. I have tried too many veggies yet. I have been eating eggs and tuna and chicken and I love the grilled fish from Caption ds knock on wood every time I have went it hasn't been dry and it's so easy to eat. I found Pinterest to be the best at finding recipes that are good for us. Some are still kinda crazy and they say they are for us and you read the ingredients and you are like no way that's healthy lol but they are some really good healthy ones on there. I fixed cauliflower crust grilled chicken pizza last night it was actually pretty good. I got this amazing sauce from sams yesterday that has nothing in it and it's so good I'll have to get you the name of it! I'm so glad you replied to my post it really helps having someone else to talk to that's going through the same!




Just saw your post. If it's really seasoned like dry spices I can't eat it well but love the seasoned tuna packs. Had buffalo for lunch today. It is great to have someone to talk to as well

Awesome I'll have to go get some! I probably wouldn't like the dill or Thai either lol... I made some chicken salad the other day it was pretty good. Just hard eating it without crackers lol. I feel like I eat the same stuff over and over and I get tired of it.

I remember my first cracker lol. I don't eat them often and only 1 when I do. I'm glad I can have lettuce. I like the crunch w/o guilt. Me too on the same thing different day. Makes grocery shopping easy though. Protein Shake for Breakfast @ 5 tuna and yogurt for lunch which is normally 2 separate meals at 9 and 12 around 3 I have a snack which is killing me at the moment. .5 serving of lunch meat thin slices and Colby jack cheese 1 serving. Most days. Dinners are different and weekends. But Mon- Thursday breakfast and lunch its the same. I stick to that better. Carbs are high cal and most slide through just leave me hungry soon.

        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
