This posting has been high jacked......

I believe that everyone here is concerned for the OP and the many complications that may come about from eating the wrong foods so soon after having this major surgery on the stomach. I believe that IGGY was trying to wake up the OP to the fact that she is putting great risk on her life. She talked about her feelings which I feel is appropriate and later clarified where she was coming from. I hope that everyone can let this go now and wish each other peace and harmony. This is a community that is loving and caring and devote their time to helping others as well as learning from others too.

To the OP, please talk with your surgeon about your diet and be careful. We care about you and want you to heal quickly. :ph34r:

My only comment is this original OP posted in April 2012. It does not even look like they ever responded. We have started something back up and the original posters(including the last one in April) aren't even around anymore. I wonder how they have faired with their surgeries?

My dr only put me on a week with liquids and then 3 weeks with soft-purer foods, I'm still on the second week of the purée stage. The only thing is that they only let me eat Soups with chicken and boiled vegetable for example. I've been reading post and websites in the US (I'm from Chile) to see what other things I can eat otherwise is barely tolerable for that long! So I've tried refreshing beens, chicken salad(mayo, chicken and yogurt ) also crab salad (same as before with crab) So far everything has been ok. I still need to wait until September to eat solids! I'm looking forward that phase!

I had my surgery last Wednesday, I've started on full liquids, I wanted a cookie so bad, I decided to eat 1 nothing happened, but I won't do it again, I am going to follow my doctor's orders, and do the right thing, I don't want to develop a leak, I have already lost 15lbs, I came to for to mess up, I chewed that cookie until it was Water, I love to eat ice and I been drinking everything sugar free, and I drink water all day, praying 🙏 for all of us.

      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!
