Recommended Posts

I"m finally going shopping tomorrow. Need to know the best turkey bacon to buy! I've been eating the regular bacon because of my BF... but i really have to stop that and get something leaner!

Any suggestions? Its hard for me to get Protein in the morn because well I do not like EGGS..I do not like cottage chesse... I do not like OATMEAL..blah... I do not like plain white milk. Hmmmm I have lots of DO NOT LIKE stuff! ahhaah

I love cereal...hmmm gramcrackers with Peanut Butter & nutella.. YUM YUM YUM!!!

TIA!

You need to read the labels, there is a LOT of variation. Turkey bacon can have more sodium and cholesterol than pork bacon, slice for slice.

Either way, enjoy occasionally in moderation, not something you should be eating every day.

yikes - bacon should come from a pig.:thumbup:

i LOVE bacon, just take the real stuff in moderation ... i tried a bunch of the "non pig" variety and it just seemed like salty cardboard.

I buy whatever Turkey Bacon is on sale and they have all been good. I usually can't eat in the mornings until after I have been up for at least 3 hours - so on the days I have to work - I'll drink a 1/2 of a Protein Drink before I leave and then usually a South Beach Cereal bar at work and string cheese (reduced fat). I'll save the bacon & eggs for dinner since I can get more food in at night.

Loves chicken sausage!

For people like myself, who dont eat mammals, poultry versions of mammalian favorites are the only way to go (unless you are a full veggie).

Of course you have to be okay with eating a certain amount of processed foods.

        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
