Meatballs are a good idea. Thanks! I start that in a week and am trying to collect ideas.

I love chicken so I make chicken broth and use it to blend my vegetables and the chicken. The way I do it is I use a deep pan, pour hot Water with the chicken, a piece of garlic, cilantro and a piece of onion with some salt. Then I add some vegetables like carrots, potato, brocoli or celeri. Let boil until the chicken is cook and the vegetables are soft. I just love it.

That's sounds delish. I can't wait to eat a little food. I'm so tired of Soups and Protein Drinks. Having a rough day today.

When do you start? When I was on liquids, my treats were the Jello and the sugar free popsicles. I love the popsicles.

I think my big concern with eating in the liquid-pureed phase (right after surgery) is that the Protein options are limited. And, I have discovered that I really don't like the Protein Drinks or the whey powders. So, I keep eating greek yogurt, cottage cheese and Soup made with milk. I enjoy all these things normally, but not so much under the circumstances.

Boiled egg with light mayo puree to be like deviled egg. Hormel complete meals with no bread or Pasta purée nicely' date=' I also brought Ruth's chicken and tuna salads they are already in a puréed state in the tub from store. Refried Beans and chili are good. Also frozen meatballs unthawed and purée topped with Alfredo, Tomato sauce or whatever you like. I like the meatballs because it is easier than browning ponds of beef at a time if rest of the family is having something else. Most meals the family has could be purée but is it healthy? And how will it appear purée is the catch![/quote']

Love the egg idea I love the stuffing deviled eggs. Also meatball idea great too. Thanks!

I can start purees this Thursday. Surgery was 12/10, came home 12/13 and I've been on full liquids since. Woke up sick to my stomach today and was dry heaving for a few minutes. But I slept later today and took my prevacid late. Once I got that down and my shakes i felt better.

But I truly feel I'm ready to start some food.

I do eat Jello and Popsicles. Just made. Some orange jello today

;-)

Somewhere on this site someone mentioned making deviled eggs but instead of using the yokes putting hummus in there. Delish! Can't wait to try that.

Ben & Jerry's has frozen Greek yogurt. Almost same calories as regular but taste like Ice Cream with 10 grams of Protien

I saw a recipe in a prevention book that included this frozen yogurt, cocoa powder, Protein powder, and a few other things I can't remember off hand. It looked sooooo good. Im going to try to find this next week.

      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

      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!
