Have you tried Unjury or nectar? I really like the chocolate unjury, I'm lucky and my hospitals pharmacy carries it, you can also order online

I ordered some last week! You know the name unjury just doesn't scream (I am yummy..consume me), but I read many good things about it so I finally just went ahead and ordered 2 sample packs. Hopefully they will be in this week.

Down 15.5lbs. Lost exactly 1lb from last Monday to this Monday. I know this is normal and my doc is very pleased with my progress, so I'm not going to let the scale demons win this one. It looks like several of us are in the 15-18lb range.

I'm going to keep on keeping on, make a push to get in my protein/fluids, start weights now that I'm cleared, and follow my doc's guidelines to eat 6-8 times a day.

I have one more week of soft and then I start regular food. Curious how that's going to pan out!

Down 20 lbs since surgery and 62 lbs down from the beginning of my journey in July. Super excited to see how this all pans out... I feel like I'm a slow loser, but according to this post, it seems like I'm right on track with everyone else.

I should add that I am happy with my progress thus far even though the scale and me are not getting along right now.

I'm down 50 total since august, 17 of that since surgery.

I am down about 33 lbs. My diet changed today to include regular foods as tolerated. My soft diet included chicken and tuna so I pushed that to turkey and well ground beef and even pork. So far I hadn't consumed anything that I wasn't already eating. I think my cravings for sodas has increased, however I am better tolerating being around normal folks while they are eating. I really wish I could go to the restroom (probably drop some weight if I weren't so stopped up). TMI? Hesitant to take something that isn't gentle. I don't know exactly how much Protein and oz I am getting. I just eat low/no carb and highest protein I can. Doc probably wouldn't like that but I hate all shakes. I have yet to try Unjury, but my package of it came today so we'll see.

I have been on a stall for over 2 weeks now. I have only lost 27 lbs and that was lost in the first week and a half. Thinking this isn't going to work

So frustrating not seeing the scale move for 2weeks. I know I know don't watch the scale, but its frustrating. I'm only down 18lbs and scale only fluctuates up 2lbs and them back down the 2lbs. I have 60-65 more lbs to loose.

      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!
