That opens up lots of options, have you tried scrambled eggs, meatloaf, ground turkey taco meat, ricotta bake, roasted veggies ?

I've had scrambled eggs and roasted vegetables. But not the ground turkey, meatloaf or taco meat. Sounds good. I'm going to try it. thanks.

Maybe that will make it alittle more tolerable because I am a meat lover no matter how small the portion.

Be creative, anything you can do with ground chicken, ground turkey and lean ground beef, such as meatballs, burgers etc... I did chicken burgers with spinach and feta or broccoli and cheddar. Turkey meatballs with garlic and ginger, all good stuff

How did you make out this weekend ? You can also do a shepherds pie with whipped cauliflower on top instead of potatoes, a ground beef or turkey chili with Beans, I also make a Pasta fagiola without the pasta but I add cooked ground beef instead. Just a few more ideas.....

Honestly, I at the same things over and over again. At one point I made a Ricotta bake and I made homemade chili. I alternated between the two for days.... but because it had been so long since I made my chili, and it had plenty of flavor... I loved it! With the chili, I cooked the veggies and Beans until they were soft. I also had ground beef in mine, but I tolerated it just fine with it was in Fluid (and chewed a lot). If you aren't allowed beef yet.. you could make chili without beef or some other flavorful Soup. I also loved tortilla soup (without the tortilla... but it does have all the good flavors), broccoli and cheddar soup.

        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
