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.

[MrsG#1 3]

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!

[Mersh 173]

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.
