    Default Hello! One week away from VSG.

    Hello!
    I am coming up on my surgery date and am looking for and willing to give support to others on this journey.
    My main concern is the diet progression and psychological aspect of food relationships. I have many years in the restaurant industry and have a passion for food that I am concerned about.
    I've lost 42 pounds pre-surgery through portion control and finding ways to prepare healthier options that retain nutrition and flavor. I now cook all my meals (as opposed to ordering them) while listening to music and enjoying the art of making good food.
    Any recipes or preparation ideas are welcome (I'll be reading all the forums) and I'd love to hear how post-op has gone for you.
    Have a great day!!

    I think the main thing is to have your head in the right place post surgery. Continue to remember the reasons why you want to have this surgery. Follow the guidelines from your bariatric team and you'll do fine. Welcome to the forum!

    My husband is not in the restaurant industry, but he is an amazing cook. He always follows our '"rule of two," a protein and a veggie. He's super creative and has been making me delicious meals for 7 years now. He didn't have surgery but lost 40 pounds.
