Did I mess up full liquids?

Ok so we went out for lunch and there was nothing on the menu I could have. So after my family finished eating, we went to Chik FilA and I got chicken Soup. They were nice enough to give me extra broth (I am on full liquids). So I had my broth and was set! I saved the rest for dinner. I got this wild idea to just throw the rest of my soup in my Magic Bullet and blend with some extra broth to thin it out. Well I threw it all in, noodles, carrots and chicken chunks. I blended it up, heated it up and drank most of it. Now I feel so sick. Was it the blended noodles? Was it the blended veg? My tummy is so freaking full, it hurts. I have horrible gas pains. Maybe I ate too fast or too much but I have to wonder - was it the blended soup?!?!

Note to self - just because you liquidify it, doesn't make it OK on full liquids... hahahaha SMH!!

Side note - it tastes FREAKING AMAZING hahaah

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, that would be appropriate for the mushies/pureed phase, not full liquids. Full liquids should only be things that are liquid when warm. Sorry you are hurting! I hope it passes soon and you can try it again when you graduate to the mushy phase.

Yeah, that sounds like my dilemma. I don't like anything I have tried pureed.< /span>:mellow: I went back to Protein Shakes and the like right after I tried 2 or 3 times to eat small mushy food servings. Even nonfat cot cheese tastes terrible--I loved it preop. I can do 2 T oyster crackers or one whole grain bread slice toasted now. Afraid to try grains like rice yet. I find my preop foods are too sweet tasting even though I have not done anything to add sweetness to them with artificial sweeteners. I miss crunching and chewing foods. Gum does nothing but stimulate my hunger. Would rather have light Snacks or micromeals throughout the day. I seem to do fine with getting my Vitamins and nutrient supplements in, tho. Glad I got my sleeve! Wishing you the very best in recovery and your treatment. Ronda :D

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
