Hi!! 10 months out, my favorite breakfast is

Southwest egg beaters 3tbsp scrambled with 1/4c Jimmy dean turkey sausage crumbles. Sometimes I put 1tbsp of salsa on top. Sometimes I put some shredded cheddar cheese.

Lunch-soup!! I love curried red lentil Soup. Or cabbage beef soup. I work in a hospital that has 2 great Soups for lunch everyday.

Snacks-think thin bars, pure Protein canned Cookies and cream shakes, Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, turkey Jerky, almonds

Hope this helps

I had mine back in September, I am down to 168 and I went thru the same thing. I have found for breakfast I do some of the following to get the best bank for the buck.

Breakfast

Dry Cereal I then to do the Kashi or the nut ones to get the added Fiber

I do sliced cucumbers with a little Greek yogurt--this is good for added Water

Sliced fruit works well in frozen yogurt

Snacks

I do the trail mix, baby cheese, pistachios, and best of all for the sweet craving yogurt covered raisins

For the Water if you are really having trouble getting it down try drinking it at room temperature, my DR told me that the best way to get the most out of it. Cold water is only absorbed about 20% where warm is more around 60%. Also try freezing fruit and things like cinnamon or mint in a ice cube tray for your water to add flavor without the extra sugars

      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!
