Dense high Protein foods are the key. chicken breast, lean ground beef and turkey, heavier fish like swordfish. Those are the foods that keep you full and they are also what you are supposed to eat first.

Ok, so I get the dense Proteins. And I know I need veggies and want them but not sure why I will be sorry if I don't eat them?? What other foods. Especially Breakfast foods? I have been eating plain greek yogurt but it's not really working for me anymore now that I have pretty much progressed to trying to eat anything. I love the yogurt and love all the Protein in it but it doesn't keep me full for long at all. So advice on breakfast foods and any other foods other than the dense proteins that you listed?

I'm still in my soft foods stage, lots of people have a pureed stage which I do not get per my NUT. I eat soft scrambled eggs. I usually add some cottage cheese and scramble it with the cottage cheese for a little added Protein and "fluff" of my eggs. I top with a little reduced fat cheese and it is really yummy. It stays with me for a while too. I also like refried Beans, again with some cottage cheese added in for the extra protein and topped with low fat cheese. That usually keeps me full for a while too. I can't wait to actually get to eat some protein that I really have to chew again though. I am ready for fish, chicken, beef, what ever! I get some baked fish in another two and a half weeks or so and I'm super pumped about that!

I am eating dense foods such as ground chicken or turkey and I find that after I eat my 3 oz. it is really hard to try to get any veggies in because I am starting to feel full. Anyone else have this issue? I am worried about only getting in Protein and no fruits or veggies which I know I need to help with the big BM.

I eat Protein about every 2-3 hours, usually breakfast is a Protein Shake, with fruit or a little peanut butte. I also started doing a fried egg on a 100 calorie wheat english muffin with a slice of cheese, that is around 19 gms of protein and very filling, I usually can't finish.

Then around 10:30 I have a greek yogurt or apple with Peanut Butter. keep mixing things up or your body adapts to what you are eating. I average about 100-120 gms of protein a day, and in order to do that I have to eat 5 times a day :)

For breakfast I will eat eggs, cheese, sausage, bacon and yogurts.... I have to keep my diet low of carbs because when I eat a carb, I will gain a couple of pounds, and it could be Water weight but I'm not really liking it. At 3 months out you can pretty much have any kind of meats but I highly recommend that you eat the moist meats, they are easier to digest. I still like the moist meats to this day... I love chili a lot...... :)

My body does not do well with carbs either. AT ALL! I hate it. Breakfast is hard because I get sick of eating eggs or having to cook in the morning. But I think I am going to have to revert back to doing eggs like I did before surgery as the yogurt isn't cutting it and I obviously can't have pancakes, french toast or some other kind of sinful carbs! :)

I am so tired of being limited to the same foods so I am looking for other Proteins to eat..... Carbs also make me crash and feel really horrible...... I also will eat a Quest Protein Bar too. For breakfast, it's typically a Premier Protein shake or an egg. So boring now.... But so worth it. :)

      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
