Anyone one step 4 diet



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I have a question that I hate to ask but is there anyone that has experienced at least the step three or four diet that still takes super small bites and waits minutes in between each one or will I eventually be able to eat bigger bites? I have this fear that I might bite off more than I can chew literally when I’m able to eat solid foods and would love some feedback! Thanks I’m advance

yes, you'll eventually be able to eat bigger bites. Once you're a few months out, no one is going to suspect you had WLS. The only thing they may notice is that you eat smaller portions - but they'll probably just assume you're a light eater. You won't be taking microscopic bites at the time - or eating microscopic portions. This is really just the few months.

As @catwoman7 said, yes, eventually. Your calories will increase, your portion size will increase, you’ll need less time between bites, how much time you need between eating & drinking will decrease, etc. Just progress as you are able. Don’t push yourself to do more than you can. Listen to your body & how it reacts. It will soon tell you if it’s no, not yet.

Will you go back to doing these things exactly the same as you did before? No. But that’s a good thing. Think of this time as learning what is best for you & the healthier, happier, smaller you.

        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.

      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!

      Hiο»ΏΒ 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 myο»ΏΒ mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and eο»Ώxcited. 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’mο»Ώgoing 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 healthyΒ food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!ο»ΏSomeone 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.ο»Ώ

        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
