I am ten days post op and doing great, I have experienced some head hunger but nothing that I can't control. However I am sick of cream Soups and Protein Drinks already. Will be two weeks post op on Tuesday . What are you guys consuming at two weeks? Seriously need a change. Suggestions anyone? ????

My NUT said I could go on "pureed/super mushy" foods. I've had instant mashed potatoes with gravy (the kind in a packet that you add Water to), refried Beans, applesauce, oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat, tuna salad (tuna with LF Mayo), scrambled eggs, chicken salad (canned chicken with LF Mayo), poached eggs, any kind of Soup (as long as I puree it), any vegetable (except corn) cooked soft and blended.

I've done well with this, but just take it slow and take baby bits and wait a few minutes between bites.

All of that sounds DELICIOUS and my nut gave me the same diet but at day 22.. I wonder why they all differ so much.. Do you purée ur veggies in a blender or do you use a food processor?

My coworker made a wonderful Breakfast for the squad this morning.. French toast beef sausage and scrambled eggs.. Without asking if I'd like any she sat en enormous plate of food in front me. I just stared at it while everyone else ate. When she came over I foolishly ate a few bites of the eggs so she wouldn't feel bad. The eggs are stuck in my throat and I feel foolish and miserable. Let's not forget I'm only 11 days post op... Ugh.. Maybe I should just come out the closet about my sleeve.

I use a blender on some things, and for the veggies I just cook them super soft, and then use a fork to sort of mash them up. I also love eggs. I eat them scrambled or fried. Again, I use a fork to mush them up.

Well today I was so excited and fulfilled when I ate! I had beef Soup not stew. It was absolutely delicious.

Boil beef short ribs with salt and chunks of onion two cloves of garlic let boil for about 45-60 min

Add in potatoe, carrots, zucchini, and tomatoes, ( cabbage if you like)

Make sure it has enough flavor or add in more salt or garlic salt and cilantro

Let it boil and serve.

Obviously I only had a bit or two of meat, a zucchini piece and a few carrots. I mushed them up. I saved the broth and had some shortly after. This is a family meal for those cozy days.

      April Surgery
      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.
