Hi!

I've been eating some of the same stuff too and have been trying to switch it up. As of now my nutritionist told me to stick with dishes that have sauce so that any Protein I consume goes down easier.

Here are a few dishes I've been making:

Estofado de Pollo (Chicken Stew): I've been making a Peruvian version of chicken stew. I add potatoes when I make it for my family but you can make it without if you're watching the carbs. I just eat the chicken even though it tastes best with rice. Ive been making it with skinless chicken thighs or breast.

Ceviche Peruano: This is my quick go to! Its just raw cod fish with lime juice (the lime juice "cooks" the cod), a few seasonings, and red onions. Its a super refreshing dish. Im sure you could try the mexican version too.

Pollo al Sillao (Soy Sauce Chicken): Same as the stew I just eat the chicken but I always use skinless chicken thigh for this one instead of breast. The dish contains scallions, bell peppers, soy sauce, ginger and some seasonings. Its really easy to make.

Seco: Not sure how to translate the name in English but this is pretty much a stew lol. Don't be alarmed by the green color, the base of the stew is made of cilantro that's been liquefied in the blender. Its best made with beef or lamb but I've been making it with chicken. I usually eat it with navy Beans like in the picture.

Lomo Saltado de Pollo: This is basically a chicken stir fry with onions and tomatoes. Its another one of my quick go to's. Very juicy and delicious. The original is made with fries mixed in but I do it without since I'm also watching carbs and staying away from fried foods.

Here are a few other dishes that I want to try once I'm cleared to eat raw veggies:

  • Taco salad
  • Greek Salad with grilled chicken
  • Ground chicken lettuce wraps.

If you want the recipe to any of those dishes let me know and Ill post it :) You can find all the ingredients to them at any supermarket.

Oh and I forgot to mention, I never tried the chicken wraps before but I stumbled on the recipe online from a cook I follow on FB. She even makes a sweet chili sauce for them. Im looking forward to trying it, they look delicious!

        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
