Has anyone had pho after the sleeve? I'm dying for some but am on the puréed stage. Maybe just the broth to get the flavor??? When can I eat the noodles and the thinly sliced meat? I love pho!

You should be eating the broth now. The noodles are a carb and you should stay away from that. The meat you can put through the blender and eat.

I drank the broth on Clear liquids. We go to a pho restaurant every week. I actually don't eat the noodles and actually don't like them so much anymore as they taste starchy now. I now eat barbecue chicken, drink a little broth and have 1/2 an egg roll. The pho has a lot of salt and I noted that I don't loose if I take in too much salt.

I had the broth only during the liquid phase and on the puree phase I'd have some of the meat and just made sure it was small amounts and chew chew chew. Still haven't had the noodles except for a taste.

Yeah you're right, lots of carbs and sodium. I think I will just stay away because pho is one of my comfort foods so I would rather just not have it. Does any one else get grosses out at the thought of puréed meat? The thought of it grosses me out.

pureed meat is just *not* the same. I would rather chew until my jaw hurts than to puree meat.

I never pureed it in a blender, just chewed the heck out of it, and/or made it in a crock pot type meal so that the meat was soft. I have not yet tried regularly cooked meats (other than chicken/fish).

I never pureed meats. I did get an electric chopper and chopped up chicken and pork. Then added a little grilling sauce to moisten it. I agree pureed meats aren't really very appealing. The chopper makes really tasty chicken salad and egg salad as well. You could make your own pho, there's some decent recipes out there that aren't as full of sodium and msg. I have gotten some hot and sour Soup from our Chinese take out, it was pretty good, but I am making most of my own stuff like that.

Pho broth has been one of the things keeping me sane through this liquid diet phase, you can definitely eat that.

If it were me I would just do the broth but I suppose if you are on the puree phase you could dump a little in the blender but I would just worry about really getting it blended though. THere are the carbs too but honestly, that this stage (at least for me) I have been getting almost NO carbs so I don't feel like that is the deal breaker.

So today I had pho. Well I drank the broth. Had about an ounce of noodles and 2 ounces of brisket. I left the bowl full of noodles. That's a first. I'm loving the sleeve.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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! 🤣
