Hi All!
I had my VSG 8/14 and I'm down 21lbs in 12 days!! Doctor advanced me to soft foods and allowed a few oz of Pinkberry yogurt for a treat! Yummmm!!! I'm so proud of myself!!!

if i had a dollar for everytime i heard that I'd be super rich!! Lol.
my thought is that they know we will actually lose weight and become healthier and it will kill them inside. Lol.
No worries! Go girl you got this!! ????????

So Beautiful! Very Proud of You!!

It's a good idea to wait to consume high carb foods, such as sugar, flour, Pasta, bread, potatoes, starchy veggies and rice until you lose the weight. These things cause cravings for many people and will also slow or stop weight loss.
After that time, you may not even have a craving for them anymore.
You could substitute healthier options such as:
The Quest ones
chocolate Protein powder, PB2, crushed ice and Water in a bullet
A spoon of Peanut Butter with sugar free Chocolate sauce
Going into major life altering surgery, you should focus on how to be successful, not on the foods you will miss. That will lead to problems for you. You need to change your relationship with food, get creative and come up with satisfying, bariatric surgery friendly alternatives.

I eat regular Reese's Peanut Butter cups occasionally. I will say that I didn't incorporate them into my diet plan until I had lost the majority of my weight and entered into my maintenance phase. I do just fine with them and don't get sick. I had the sleeve 14 months ago.
That being said, I track all my food and only allow a treat after I have met my Protein goals and make sure that I don't exceed my average calories for the day.
Also, you may not like peanut butter cups after your surgery. It's crazy how your tastes can change sometimes. Pre op I loved loved Pasta, rice, bread, chips. After surgery I have no cravings for any of those things and do not even like the taste that much. chocolate is another matter. LOL. I didn't even like chocolate before my surgery. I just eat in now in careful moderation and it works for me!!
Good luck to you. And as others have posted there are some great healthy alternatives.

You could learn to make your own, low carb high Protein versions. Or you could try these

Yes, you will be able to eat anything you want, probably as soon as your doctor releases you back on full foods. But if you are like me, my taste buds changed after not having any processed sugar for over a month. The old favorites just didn't taste as good and in my opinion, weren't worth eating anymore, because the taste wasn't good enough to justify eating the empty calories. You may find new favorite flavors like I did. Brussel sprouts are something I never ate pre-op, now I love them and can eat them as a meal in themselves.

I found this forum/app by accident I'm so happy! Now I can actually communicate with people who get it and get me! Please feel free to give me advice as much as you want. Thank so much!

Ok peeps so I'm 5 days fresh out of surgery.......well my doc gave me the thumbs up to add fish and pureed veggies only as dinner per day the earlier part of the day I'm on liquids as usual......eating the fish and veggie puree did the trick immediately!! I couldn't even eat 3 baby forks of fish and veggies but it solved the hunger. thank god!

my lord! there were more baked goods than meals! Gum? thank goodness you were able to get some necessary staples. If you ever get in a bind again try local churches 95% of the time they provide gift cards to major grocery chains. this way you can buy fresh and organic foods. Be well! ????????

1. Surgery 8/14.....after you wake up from surgery you start feeling regret......Its normal so don't worry.
2. I had issues with nausea....horrible...i just kept throwing it up and it subsided.
3. I was released yesterday 8/15 came home sipped Protein and immediately felt better.
4. Still have gas but the more I walk and sip the more it passes out.
5. Just happy to be home and doing my sips of broth & Proteins.
6. Will follow up with more after my nap ????

wanted to mention please discuss adding any foods to your diet with your doctor first. My healing process and tummy may be different from someone elses. Jus sayin ????
