hate finding lapband friendly foods.

Just discovered I can only eat 1 piece of small toast in the morning UNLESS it is 2 pieces of toast with cheese in between. The more cheese, the better it goes down. Why? Silly band.

I am always super tight in the morning..... I can handle a scambled egg with some turkey kielbasa (2oz) cut up into it in the morning. I just throw in the microwave in a bowl. 1 minute=Breakfast. Or an egg over easy on a half a piece of toast. The yolk helps and it is good Protein too. I never eat right away-I have to wait. I have some warm tea w/lemon and that helps.

Every now and then I can handle a toasted bagel (half of one) with some laughing cow lite cheese on it. But there is NO WAY i can eat it first thing in the morning. More like 10 or 11am.

Also-- I have found that when I have an egg and a little turkey sausage I stay full much longer than when I have toast or bagel or Cereal. But I am a carb addict and have to watch the carbs I eat.

I like the yogarts, yogart smoothies, oatmeal, apple sauguage with yogart, eggs, bacon, turkey sauguage for fullness or Soup for Breakfast if I am home. All these are smooth I have a tough time with toast, bagel, or foods that are not moist. Try a few different foods and see what works for you.

I usually cannot eat until about 11 am. And then it is very minimal. I start my day with some coffee or tea and one small square of chocolate. On the weekend, we'll do a late breakfast and I'll eat 1/2 an egg and 1/3 piece of sausage. I loosen up throughout the day, but I am really NOT a big eater in general, now. LOL

I ususally stick to low fat yogurt, yogurt smoothies and the snack cups of low fat cottage cheese for breakfast. Usually have a few berries or a slice of melon with it. On the weekends when I have time, I soft scramble an egg with milk so it's not so sticky. I grew up eating sliced avocado with eggs, and that goes down easy as well. If it's really cold out (rarely happens here) I make the Quaker Weight Control oatmeal and add half a scoop of Protein Powder. I've put Protein powder in my pancake batter as well, but not very often. I use applesauce instead of Syrup. My family thinks it's gross, but I like it.

        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!

      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
