I am 2 months post op and still drink alot of Protein shakes because meat is hard for me to eat. A sample of my day is

B- greek yogurt or babybel cheese with blueberries

L-Syntrax nectar drink

D- salmon, chicken or Beans with some sort of veggie

S-fruit, cheese stick or an Atkins shake or bar.

I am lucky if I can eat half a cup of food at once. I eat alot of fruit because its sort of a slider food for me and it doesnt hurt when I eat it. I usually have coffee in the morning with Protein Powder in it as well. My menu probably isnt ideal, but it works for me and I get plenty of Protein.< /p>

What type of protein poweder do you add to your coffee. I find that if I ad protein to anything hot it gets crumblely

You might try: www.blackberrypatch.com I'm diabetic, I am now - haven't had surgery yet but their syrups are fantastic, a little expensive but well worth the cost.

What's babybell cheese? I'm in Australia and have not heard of it?

It's a little round piece of pre wrapped cheese.. A bit like a soft cheddar/Edam

I'm still newly post-op but per my surgeon's plan I can eat soft foods. I'm still struggling with basic Protein portions so I haven't incorporated many soft foods yet. Here's what I had today:

Breakfast: nectar Protein Drink (32gm protein).

Lunch: 3/4 deli slice cheese spread with a toddler spoonful of lowfat sour cream and a black bean soupy mixture I make, rolled up and cut into pieces.

Snack: 2 oz Greek yogurt with SF salted caramel Syrup and a few dashes of cinnamon.

Dinner: was still full from snack. I made a batch of quiche lasagna to keep for when I feel like I can manage a soft food. I ate about a spoonful of the egg/ricotta/cheese "batter" and it really stuck with me for a while (easily the densest thing I've eaten in more than 2 weeks).

After dinner: I've made what I call a PBJ Protein Drink - vanilla Protein powder, PB2, SF Peanut Butter syrup, SH strawberry syrup and soy milk. I still feel stuffed so I may or may not be able to finish it tonight.

Where do you get Peanut Butter syrup.. what kind are you using... I would like this>>

      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!
