How long was it before raw veggies and salad greens sat well with you? I'm a couple of weeks away from being able to start adding them in and I'm a little apprehensive. Most things I try go ok for me but when they don't, it's real bad. Were they tricky to incorporate?

Oh man my team is a little more slow/old school they let me incorporate them at 6 months post. I was good by then. Except raw purple cabbage is still a problem ...

A lot of others posters added them way earlier.

Was supposed to be 6 weeks but saw my surgeon at week 5 and was given the green light, no more restrictions. Peas, corn, iceburg, spinach, carrots, cucumber, Tomato, pickles, avocado. I have had no problem with any of them. Just like anything else, start slow and see how you react to it. Good luck and enjoy.

I started at about 6 weeks, I had no issues with them.

Meal prep again!

Frittata? Omelette? IDK what to call it, it is my Mother's recipe without potatoes.

Mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, spinach, eggs, spices

Easy.

      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.
