Ate all the cheese and half of the rest.

Day 1 of soft foods stage. Had my mom's Caldo de Pollo without any of the rice, corn or potatoes aka the good stuff but luckily the flavor was still there!

I've never been so happy to eat carrots 🥲1071331976_PXL_20221026_214121732(1).thumb.jpg.cf38978d002f74499e8c1ec3a7e7ba5c.jpg

snack (or second dinner? lol)

im on an oatmeal love-fest these days after having it for the first time in YEARS last week!

another first: eating raw bananas. i've had banana bread, cooked banana Desserts, but i haven't had an actual as-is banana since before surgery four years ago.

verdict: its kinda filling and im afraid the amount i ate, combined with the brown sugar i added to the oatmeal, may be enough to send me on a minor dumping episode shortly. oh well.

331 calories for the bowl, i ate pretty much all the oatmeal, and about 1/2 the banana.

given the way im feeling now, bananas are off the menu again.

Looks good! I eat bananas once every few months. But when I do it usually all in the same week (because no one else wants bananas all of a sudden)

slept in this morning (very uncharacteristic of me...im am early bird thu and thru!)

...so first meal of day is coming in pretty late: homemade chicken Soup with Pasta shells, topped with crispy fried onions: 292 calories, ate it all.

This is an instance of me just guessing the calories since i was too lazy to input the recipe into MFP, and i didn't trust the cal counts of the ones already listed in their database. close enough!!

I probably won’t even eat any of it but it sure smells good.

I'm on-call today and while I'm feeling a little tensed (and already had an awful quarrel within the first hour of duty this morning...) I could somehow make up my mind to cook something up:

Re-heated tadiq rice from the freezer, Vivera like-chicken filet, a stew made from bottled Tomato, date tomatoes on their last leg, an aubergine, garbanzos, harissa spice, cinnamon, raisins and some Peanut Butter. The yoghurt stuff is soy skyr with a minty spice, red bell pepper and cucumber.

Lightning is bad as it's already dark and daylight makes the best pictures.

Plenty of leftovers from the stew. The second filet will be cubed and put on a salad I bought on Thursday.

meals on the weekends are often junky cuz its mr.'s turn to cook and he usually ends up ordering take out if we don't go out!

so today it was pizza and wings!

436 calories.

Ate the 3 wings & hot sauce, and 1/2 the pizza slice.

Ugh. i feel stuffed (it was the pizza crust...they ordered it extra thick)

      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.
