I was craving something sweet and chocolate and this was amazing tastes just like a fudge brownie totally in love. I only ate about 4 slices of banana but I ate all the chocolate hummus. Delicious

banana with some chocolate sauce and a bit of granola over Protein yoghurt (mix of coconut Protein, freeze dried raspberries and supposed-to-be immun boosting stuff):

I think I've seen this brand at local supermarkets but not the chocolate hummus. Can't really imagine the taste but then again I'm using chickpea flour in sweet mug cakes...

Mussels in white wine sauce and braised fennel.

I ate 10 + about 1/4 cup of fennel: 112 calories (since I didn’t have any bread, I didn’t have anything to soak up sauce 😕 )

Hi, everyone!!! It has taken me about 5 days off and on...but I have read this whole thread, and a few things have happened:

1. I learned that am a lurker and a stalker🤦‍♀️

2. I have snagged some wonderful recipes and ideas

3. I realized I am going to love getting to go on this journey with ya'll...there is so much support and help offered!!!

4. And my name isn't cute at all!!! I am so jealous of how cute they all are!!!

Now, I guess I should say something about my food. Today I am 4 wks out from my surgery, I started soft foods this past Saturday. I am on soft foods until 9/12. I can't wait to be able to be able to actually chew something with more texture. I am so jealous of everyone's cucumbers and radishes, they look so yummy!!!

Right now am able to eat 3 Tablespoons of food, 4 times a day(there is no way I could do 6)...I am currently averaging 48-54 oz. fluids. So right now i will not subject you to my little wee-meals.

Welcome & CONGRATS ❤

Don't worry- we were all site stalkers at one point or another, right?

Yes? No? Just me then?

Well, I decided to do it. It was time.

I made the ricotta bake.

I wanted more Protein, so I browned up a pound of ground turkey with some onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning and mixed that in with the other ingredients.

Quadrupled the recipe so I could feed my boyfriend, have leftoverS for hi. And plenty of leftovers for me to freeze for later. Served myself 3.8 ounces.

and of course, that was more than I could fit/needed.

Boyfriend said it tasted just like lasagna without the noodles. I had meant to add crushed red pepper, but forgot. Would definitely make it again, but probably skip the mozzarella. Part-skin mozzarella always ends up like cardboard and was so hard to chew well enough.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
