Diet at 6 wks post op



Recommended Posts

5 minutes ago, I can do this too! said:

I am 8 days post op and I love hearing about the variety of food you are eating and getting full! Just being on the liquid diet does not fill me up at all. I am not hungry, but certainly not full!

Its honestly mind blowing , the difference from liquids then purees then normal food, Some things make you fuller faster like meat and some things give you extra wiggle room lol Like at the restaurant I wanted abit more time to not get full so I had half a tomatoe before taking a bite of my meat lol ( You are supposed to do protien first but yeah i enjoyed myself)

My nutritionist said I'm not allowed steak for about a year! I love steak and corn and both aren't allowed 7 wks post op. A lot of people say jst to try a little. But I'm scared

@MrsG#1 I get why he said no to corn, doesn't digest properly, high carb...etc. But no steak? Maybe because it isn't lean enough? Are you not allowed any red meat? Weird.

Today I have 2 strips of bacon and 2 eggs scrambled for Breakfast. (Spread out over an hour... took my sweet time because bacon...)

Had a Protein Shake for lunch. 50+g of Protein.

Handful of almonds and a baby bell for snack

chicken thigh bbq'd and 2 pickles for supper.

I'm craving crunch really bad right now as I type this... which sucks. But I'll eat a handful of sunflower seeds or something to kill it. Great source of protein apparently...

My calorie intake today is something around 900.

How far post op are you? I feel like I need crunch too. I jst started eating cucumbers with no peel. But I've been craving tortilla chips and salsa. 😔 But I have no idea when or if I'm allowed to eat tortilla chips. Or bread or any substitution for them. I was also told not nuts for awhile .

We had the same surgery date it looks like July 10th.

I made some gauc the other day and had a chip with it to taste... didn't kill me. But probably not the best idea nutritionally.

Some people I guess eat Pork rinds. I can't do it. Not my thing. Luckily I have some almonds/cashews or sunflower seeds to help keep it at bay.

I had my surgery July 11th but so close. I'm still experimenting with foods. I will get it. I also heard people say they eat Pork rinds. I wonder what the nutirtional value is. I want to try sunflower seeds maybe soon. Like I said I'm scared to eat .

What is you sort of puréed the steak? Maybe easier to digest!

Heads up. Just found these on Nature Box. Pork bar with 20g of Protein. 110 cal. 3g sugar. 5g fat.

Little salty, but tasty. Not bad for $3.

I just ordered a bunch of them.

I loved bacon before VSG and somehow it is as if the VSG has elevated the bacon flavor to an even more superior deliciousness. I have a fried egg and two strips of bacon for breakfast every Saturday and I spend all week thinking about the bacon. Delicious bacon.

@MrsG#1 go to NatureBox.com it's like a really thick piece of meat. Think granola bar size. Pretty tender. Easy Protein for on the go.

I just noticed there is a referral thing where you can get free Snacks and I can get a credit if you want to use it. Pm me an email address if you like. Why not get free stuff?

I really like protein on the go! Especially if it is not full of sugar and carbs! Thanks for the tip!

My surgeon said I could have steak at 4 weeks post op - inlaws were taking us out- I had filet and chewed the heck out of it and it was awesome!
Every plan is so different.

      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.
