at 2 weeks:

-cream of wheat made with milk- kinda of thin. There is Protein in it!

-pushed up cottage cheese

- soft cheese like babybel- let is sit at room temp for about 10 mins. first they melt in your mouth.

-greek yogurt.

-if you can tolerate them refried Beans. with a little sour cream.

Thats what I lived off of from 2 weeks to 1 month

I personally ate:

Cream of Rice - made very thin and easy to eat.

Cream of Zuchini Soup

Cream of Brocolli Soup

chicken broth

sugar free pudding

Almond Milk

Low fat or Fat Free Yogurt (Latosse Free)

Do you have a diet guide from your doc? If so follow what it says.

Is it hunger? Or is it acid/reflux? Maybe head hunger.

I am one week post- op and I feel like I'm hungry too! It was so easy being at the hospital and knowing there wasn't food to look at, but since I have come home and have had to cook for my family, I feel like I could turn into a psyco path! I sometimes have to chew gum to satisfy my urge to chew. I cannot wait to have real food again.

It will get better but it can get so tough I actually cried. Egg drop Soup was my "treat" because it didn't seem like diet food. Creamy Soups were great for me as well. Hang in there and stay diligent. It WILL get better.

I found a new love for split pea Soup at that stage! I really needed to thin down refried Beans if I ate them. Out of the can they were way too thick. Greek yogurt is good just watch for sugar. Stick to sugar free plain if you can.

I am in the same boat! I'm two weeks out and at first cooking wasn't bad bc I knew I couldn't have it and I didn't even want it but now I'm like what the hellllll am I putting myself through!! It's like torture!! Seriously. I made BBQ chicken last night for my hub and it smelled so amazing and I was so ready to be like "screw it one bite won't kill me" (I didn't). It was brutal. I have been living off tuna green Beans yogurt and was given a fab recipe for buffalo chicken salad type thing from someone on here. It was amazzzzzeeee!! Probably too good. Pretty sure I over did it yesterday. lol but we can all do this!!!! Just keep drinking Water. It fills me (usually) for a while.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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.
