Hi All!

Am I the only one who is confused about the lack of veggies on my post-op diet? Have you incorporated veggies back into your life? I actually find myself missing salad! Most of my diet is taken up by trying to get enough Protein. Is that right?

I lived 6 weeks without salad after surgery on the advice of my nutritionist...

But now...i'm making up for lost time:)

Love, love, love me a salad. I chop everything up fine for the most part, and chew really well...but God it's good to eat crunchy veggies again:)

Lettuce in salad still gives me trouble, but cucumbers, green pepper strips, etc are fine. I have not tried raw broccoli or anything like that. Stir-fry veggies work great. I can only eat a few bites, I alternate 3 bites of meat, 1 veggie bite....

I'm in the pureed phase and I do 1oz of Protein with 1oz of veggies and top up my protein using protein water/shakes. x

I was not able to eat raw veggies for two months after surgery now I eat salads with veggies and some chicken in it, I also have been making up time with veggies.

I'm not cleared for raw. I'm on a soft diet - phase 3 and am 4 weeks + 1 day. :)

I eat 2oz Protein + 1oz veggies at each meal (3 meals + 1 snack + 1st brekky which is protein coffee)

I can NOT wait for raw veggies and salads! I miss them long time mister!

You will be allowed veggies as you progress out from surgery

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
