Pork tenderloin. About 2 oz with about a tablespoon of sweet potato. No a huge fan of sweet potato. If rather have butternut squash or something.

I had a char grilled chicken sandwich without the bun from Chick fil a. I ate it with the tomatoes' date=' pickles, and a packet of their honey mustard. OMG so good! Got a fruit cup instead of fries, but was too full for it after the chicken breast.[/quote']

Sounds good, I had 3oz baked tilipia w/ 2oz applesauce

I usually get the children's grilled nuggets & don't have worry about the bun. It's cheaper than the adult portion & perfect for WLS folks - 4 or 6 piece. I usually save the fruit & milk for later or the next day. Quick, delicious go to meal any day but Sundays.

I ate the roast beef in an Adkins microwave dinner. In less than 20 minutes I gave it back. Rough.

I've been having an issue with fish. It's the first thing to ever get stuck so bad that it came back up and I tried some last night and it started to get stuck again. I've only tried cod which is my favorite white fish. But it only goes down if drown it in tarter sauce or ketchup which I don't want to do. Shellfish gives me no issues. Maybe I'll try salmon next just to see if a fattier fish goes down easier. I'll be so bummed if I can't have it anymore. : (

Give it a while and try again. I have no issues with fish - it's actually the only thing I'm not afraid to eat and I do well with it. tuna on the other hand? THAT is my kryptonite! Tuna terrifies me!

I bought some smoked salmon w/Cajun spices. Sounds yummy but I'm afraid to try it. Maybe tomorrow...

Made some mashed potato, with ham, lo fat cheese, chopped parsley, chopped spring onion and some pesto seasoning for taste, made into potato cakes and dry fried in a non stick pan. Had three small ones, so yum for a change, and froze six more for later on.

I find I still struggle with hunger, but I am learning it's from thirst, or head hunger, and I'm happy in learning this and becoming more and more aware and able to tell the difference. Juggling the balance of Protein and salad or veggies is one I also struggle with, but I am slowly getting the hang of it. I am not gaining weight but I'm not losing either, I've now lost twenty five kilos since my surgery in December, a mere fifty eight to six pounds. Many of you have lost far more than that and I applaud that, I have fifteen kilos, or thirty five or so pounds left to go, and I believe I will get there.

I do find liquids wise, I can handle far more than a cup full at any one time. So I do believe I have stretched my pouch, but when it comes to solids, some days I really do struggle. Does anyone else struggle with solid foods over liquids?

It's constant battle for me to manage all my liquids and my food and my Vitamins and my thyroid meds. It's usually more of an issue at work when I get busy because I don't drink enough and then at lunch I can't drink with my food. I try to compensate by drinking more when I'm driving to and from work. If I don't get enough to drink before bed I get up a half hour earlier the next morning to drink and watch the news - it's working well and it's very relaxing before the start of my hectic day. As far as food goes, I'm getting my Protein but not much else. I'm trying to add soft veggies to my meal but can't eat very much after my protein. I'll have one steamed cauliflower or broccolli floret or 6-8 pieces of cut string Beans. I'm only two months out and can't have stringy or fibrous veggies yet.

For those having issues with throwing up what they eat, what do y'all think is the problem? Do you eat too fast? Do you know it's going to come back up? I'm 9...almost 10 months post op and haven't had an issue with vomiting. Luckily.

Hard for me to say. I have only vomited once since my surgery on June 11th. I have come close a couple of times always on meat. I may be eating too fast or not chewing good enough for beef. I am really not sure.

I must be one of the lucky ones... I have never gotten sick since surgery! If I eat too fast I might feel sick to my stomach or get heartburn when I'm sleeping but that's it

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
