Fish works really well for me, and I can eat shrimp also.

Wow Sara, I'm glad you can eat shrimp. That's another food I've read that people have trouble eating. I love all kinds of seafood. I would love to have shrimp dishes. What is crab shumai?

Shumai is basically minced crab or shrimp wrapped in a thin dumpling skin and steamed or fried. Most Sushi places have it as an appetizer on their menu's, And Ann said that trader Joe's carry's it in the frozen section. It's very light, and it's good to dip in dumpling or soy sauce.

Steamed shrimp is actually going down smoother then chicken. I PB when I eat chicken, and for someone that was never really a fish eater, thats what I've been living on.

I attempted chicken the other day, wasn't happening, so I've been living on Shrimp dishes and crab shumai- basically my chinese food place now knows my name, and I've been getting everything steamed with the sauce on the side. I am dying for a salad though. I don't think I'm getting enough Protein though.

If you like tuna, I have discovered something...where the tuna is in the grocery store there are now 3oz packages that you can just rip the top off of (as opposed to being in a can). This 3oz packet of tuna has 20g of protein!!!! I have make tuna salad with it. (My favorite is Albacore White Tuna...it almost tastes like chicken salad..not as fishy)...It is the perfect serving size..and lots of Protein for the amount. Not too difficult to eat, since it breaks up pretty small...and it is really lean.

Thank you Leeann, Unfortunatly, I'm not a "fish" person. Basically I'll only eat crab, lobster & shrimp and beer battered halibut- but only when I'm in AK. I haven't eaten tuna since I was like 5! So this is new territory for me. I've only been eating the shrimp & crab lately because it's soft enough, to not PB, and Chicken won't stay down.

        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
