I spoke with her and my doctors office. I'm off till Thursday then I'll go back light duty. I'm so relieved. I won't be able to have patient contact' date=' and I miss my guys like crazy... But if I can't handle it, at least I won't be leaving my patients and staff high and dry. :)

I have been taking my B12 and Multivitamin. I'm supposed to take the Calcium supplement twice daily but I keep forgetting. I guess I'll have to set an alarm on my phone to remind me. :)

I'll check out the Vitamin Water zero. Sounds good. I bought New whey Protein shots at Wal-Mart yesterday. 42 grams per shot. I figure if I have a low Protein day I'll sip on that for a while to help make up the difference.

On the purée food front... I have been working my way through a chicken salad mush I made. chicken, low fat mayo, relish. I've been enjoying it. I am thinking today I'll make refried black Beans. :)[/quote']

That's great a few more days off I tried the chicken salad girl it did not go right for me nor did the egg or egg salad lol I'm going tomorrow to get my b12 shot today I'm going to try poly sting cheese see if that will agree it says I can have it

I am doing muscle milk it taste so good it 20g of protein and then for lunch I'll do alborcore tuna in the package that has 20 g of protein so I also bought Wendy's chili and cheese that has 28 g of protein in 1/2 cup yummy

Anyone hungry after eating just the 1/4 cup of food?

I'm having a really hard time sticking to it. :(

Are you eating super slow? Chewing it up until its mush? This helped me a lot. I've always been a fast eater and then end up stuffed because I never let my body tell me it was full. After slowing down, I get full after the 1/4 cup!

No staws yet for me. I tried drinking out of a sports Water bottle and the extra air hurt my tummy. Maybe later. I do drink out of Water bottles for crystal light and I haven't had the issue with colored lips. :)

I thought about this earlier. I ate, put the spoon down between bites, chew chew chew!!!, pause between bites. I ended up bored with my food and decided I was full. It's been about 2 hours and I'm still not hungry. HTH!!! :)

I definitely understand how you feel! My goal right now with the nutritionist is to be under 200 lbs. I was told it would be around October when I got to that point. Seemed a little far off for the rate I'm losing. I was told that I should lose about 10 lbs/month. I don't know when the rapid loss slows down though. Just gotta keep going!

      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
