Just got done crying in the kitchen while looking at this NASTY broth!

I'm ready to do this, but the thought of not being to have anything filling or with flavor for the next month of so is really getting to me.

I think homeless people eat more food than this, 10 day liquid diet blows!....

I'm 6 days into this, and cranky! luckily today was my last day at work because i feel a total breakdown coming...

Ok i'm done venting, i did cheat and eat 2 crackers with my wonderful yuky broth.. ..

Thanks for listening. :)

Do you just use a plain broth? I was told by my nut. to drain juice from the reg. Soups as they have a little more flavor or is that what you do? Glad I did not have to do this long and only after surgery thankfully after surgery eating does not feel that good so you don't mind eating broth so much. Good luck!

Yeah i'm using regular beef and chicken broth, my NUT has already called me twice and asks how i'am and just tells me stick to it and it will be over soon...

I hope with a much smaller tummy i won't feel the hunger pains i feel now, when my dog looks good to eat ya know you have problems :)

i wish every doctor followed the same rules, everyone has such different rules, but i must say i'm happy not to be on a longer diet like i have seen people need to do 20 days, i'd be dead..

I am sitting here eating popsicles from Wal-Mart. They are called "Budgetsaver popsicles". They have different flavors in the sugar free version, which are 30 calories. They are good. Also, Panara's bread French Onion Soup is 210 calories.

Buy ramen noodles and use the packet of seasoning to make broth. Just heat Water and add the packet. The only way I could have broth. (just throw the noodles away).

Thanks for the ideas! Now why doesn't the NUT tell me all of this...

The panera idea sounds good, and ramen noodles are a great idea lots of flavors...

If it wasn't for Popcicles id be dead, and those piña colada ones are

Killer...

3 more days... I actually can't wait til Monday and I can do Clear liquids will be nice to get my cranberry juice in..

Probably as much as any other broth. Not sure... Was never able to find the sodium content of just the packet.

Beef ramen noodles for lunch WAYYY better than the crap in the can....

Today i think i'm running on pure adrenalan, because i've been cleaning like a nutcase, my mom said people get like the right before surgery, maybe she is trying to make me feel better...I don't think my husband is minding the cleaning less stuff on his chore list..

Partially too because i want to come back home to a spotless house it seems to always make me feel better.. i also got my lawn chairs ready to go recovery in the sun is going to be a good thing....

      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.

      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
