I Know this type of post has probably been posted before (many times!) But probably a few pages back lol!

I just had my surgery the 28th, and was doing fine, thinking this 3-week liquid diet would be no problem because i wasnt' hungry at all. Now my stomach has healed and starting to feel hungry and i still have 2 weeks - 2 days before i can even have mushies!

Sugestions or ideas for someone who is sooo not a cook and can't go to the store to get fresh fruits for smoothies every few days....?

So need help with ideas of what can "fit through a straw"...

My pre-op diet was easy since we got to cheat with small servings of dairy and sugar free Jello, neither of which i can have for the time being.

Thanks in advance!

Why can't you have Jello. I used Liquid Protein as part of Water needed for jello and ate those. Buy large bag frozen fruit from SAMs club, costco etc and blend with soy milk and vanilla Protein Powder. Greek yogurt oikos or choboni. To plait thick and creamy light was my best friend. When I went for my post op after 2 weeks I was so hungry I could have bit the doc. He laughed and allowed me to move forward to soft foods since I did so well pre op and post op

I'm right there with ya. I was banded March 1st, and I thought the pre-op diet was hard? It has NOTHING on the liquids. I got Campbell's Cheddar Brocolli Soup and mixed in 1 can skim milk. The brocolli is so mushy, u can flatten it with ur tongue and it goes down like liquid. I also invested in orange sherbert push ups, and sugar free fudge bars.

I ran different canned Soups through the blender to liquify, also did the same to the black Beans in the microwave pouch. They are really good. El Paso brand.

Same here guys. This liquid thing is awful. I made some watery pumpkin Soup which wasnt too bad. So are we allowed to blend veggies up in soup? I am a bit apprehensive.

Blend the crap out of them, or if you get a cream Soup, strain it to get out the chunks. If you love milk/chocolate milk, this is a good time to drink a lot of of it!

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
