PRE-OP VSG VLOG 12 Foods - I need your input!

Two suggestions are hummus and vegetarian refried beans for the mushy stage

Greek yogurt - I never ate it before surgery and now love it! In your later stages, you can eat things like quinoa salads, cheese enchiladas, meatless chilis, lots of choices - you'll essentially eat whatever you did before, just in smaller (much smaller) portions.

I dont restrict carbs, sugar, calories - I track and target protein and fluid intake only. It just so happens with just targeting protein and fluid, the carbs, sugar and calories stay naturally low!

Your surgical center should have a nutritionist on staff that should provide you with a very detailed diet plan for both veg and non-vegetarian patients. If not? Yikes, that scares me - but I know this VST community will come to the rescue!

Hi since you mentioned the word detox you may want to try juicing for one meal its very healthy for you and you have no docter requirements. I am going to try to incorporate one juice into my regimen post op when tolerated just for nutrients try the mean green shake. hope it helps a bit, good luck to you.

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions and help!
