What are your go to foods / Snacks to buy on the bariatric pal website???
Im 2 months post op I really have little to no appetite. But with head hunger Im dying to have coffee & a muffin but want to stay away from high carbs.
Sick of Protein Shakes just need some new things to try. Living off sugar free Jello, pudding & 2 pieces of air fried chicken tenderloin. Every other day
Is everything on the website ok to eat after Vsg ?

Have you tried fish...like cod, tilapia baked in air fryer...I alternate between fish and chicken...they say 4 oz...but I've only been able to get about half before I get that pain and stop...then I'll eat it for supper or the next day for lunch....I'm just over 2 wks post op sleeve...good luck

I had surgery 1/24 and this morning was my first post op appt (9 days). I lost 18 pounds! Like, WHAT!? It’s not even 2 weeks. I was so shocked I wasn’t even emotional. Today, I am celebrating me for doing this.

Welcome to the group

This is a big step so it’s only natural to be nervous. I was the same but just knew there was no point doing the same things over and over to get the same result. Time for change. I wish you all the luck in the world, have faith you can do this. Focus on how physically healthy you will feel afterwards.

My date is also Jan 30th...so we are surgery twins...lol....I do believe everything will go great and will be very healthy and happy afterwards...God bless both of us and everyone else who is on this journey...

November 6th for me

Today's your day...safe procedure...

Originally I was having gastric sleeve done in Las Vegas(blossom bariatric) in July 2020..during procedure they found a sac of tumors in my abdomen and decided not to complete sleeve...had tumors removed June of 2021 in El Paso TX..targeted therapy for cancer since then..was scheduled for sleeve in Sept 2023..another hiccup (atrial fibrillation)..well after cardiac catheterization and aversion..got cleared for surgery probably late Dec or early Jan...finally
