Is it bad to eat slider foods? I'm 3 months out and still have egg drop Soup for lunch with cottage cheese.< /div>

I am 3 months post op as well and I eat whatever I want. I have no restrictions regarding my diet accept my 30 grams of non vegetable carbs per day. I have eaten things like a cheeseburger from Mc'Ds and I have had pizza but I went for the thin crust. I haven't had a fill yet as my MD and I are happy with my weight loss thus far. Although these past 2 weeks I have been really struggling to stay within my carb limit so I am thinking of getting a fill on my next appt 9/30

I think the reason I am sticking with the same thing day in and day out is for a couplel reasons.

1. I am SO fearful to eat anything else for fear I will gain my weight back.

2. It is satisfying me and I'm losing weight, so I guess if it isn't broken then why fix it.

Does that make sense?

As long as it's working for you, your still losing, and your not starving 2 hours after lunch, then you should be good to go. If any of those things change, then it'll be time to rethink your lunch choice.

what are you eating for your other meals?

There are other low carb options that are fast and easy for luch like chicken or tuna salad, string cheese sticks, lunch meat / cheese rollups (I dip them in Mayo) sugar free Jello with Redi Whip

If your not getting hungry before dinner you should be good to go but if you are then you need to think of other things to eat.

That's my take on it as well. If you find you're eating slider foods because you're too tight for solid food, then your band is too tight. But, if you're nutritional needs are being met through out the day with your other meals, you're losing weight, and you're not hungry soon after lunch then it sounds like it's working for you.

I eat the same thing for Breakfast 99% of the time - 1/2 cup dry Khashi Go Lean Cereal (high fiber/high protein). I try to vary my other meals, but sometimes I know I get into a rut.

      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
