Recommended Posts

Woke up this morning on the 1st day of Soft food. decided id see how bad having fats affect me. ( had whole egg on day 1 of my very soft, did not go down well but not bad. ) and I am happy to say, 1 cup of cafe creme down and no ill effects.😁

the big test will be tonight and see how some chicken does.

May it slide down smoothly and neither get you with its spurs or try to peck your esophagus to death! meat and me still have a very tenuous relationship, worsened by the fact my Previous Pouch does not like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. She sort of tolerates ricotta and harder cheeses. like chedder, gouda, Monterey Jack if it's pepperless, mozzarella and occasionally Colby. Weird isn't it? I cut the cheese into postage stamp sizes , chew- chew, she probably sighs but doesn't send it back up. Lady cream of cauliflower last night, use the Green Giant broccoli, cauliflower or cauliflower medley in it, 3-4 meals of it, I take out and 1/4 cup, try to be optimistic but she usually makes me stop before the mini- bowl is empty. Last commodity box I got had multiple cans of mixed vegetables so make some sort of veggie Soup, been thinking I might branch out to the almond, coconut and cashew soup based I saw at Wal-Mart, then try some seasonings for other tastes like cajun, Thai et, Spanish/Mecican, maybe even Caribbean?et cetera,

yeah, funny how things go like that. Sofar the only thing my stomach objected to was the Tomato cream Soups and that was week 1. Cottage and greek yougurt go down fine, even 2% fat stuff ( which I had to get as the store was out of the 0 i normaly get. )

Next on the list is lunch, Sardines and triscuites ,

Wish me luck

Did you realize that Tomato Soup is HIGH in sugar, especially the Campbell's and many people can't handle Tomato as a flavoring right away , comes later for most of us. One of my pre-surgery meals was tomato Soup, I would take a chunk of cheese, cut it into small chunks, put them inside my homemade biscuit dough, drop them into the hot t soup, put my see - lid on and cook them as dumplings. So so good, you would take a bite and there was the melted cheese inside. A memory I can't duplicate anymore.

        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!

      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
