I am 7 weeks out and I love my shakes. I have actually been having them for several years. Loved them before surgery and just as in love with them now. Lucky for me, my taste buds have not changed much after surgery except scrambled eggs are not as appealing as they were but I all of the sudden do love me some banana in my shake. :)

I make mine with a few frozen strawberries, half a banana and about 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries, 6 oz of skim milk, about 1/2 cup of Water and vanilla Protein powder, (and for now a teaspoon of miralax) and sip the morning away. I love the energy it gives me and gets me off to a good start on my Protein and some good, healthy fruit.< /p>

I also love my "mocha" shake, take whats left over of my one cup of coffee and toss in the blender, scoop of chocolate Protein Powder and some skim milk, a few ice cubes and while it may not be starbucks, from where I stand, I'll take it. :-)

Sorry my response is not very creative, I know about now lots of folks are tired of looking at the same old thing. :wacko:

I am sick of yogurt, fruit and oatmeal :((

eggs, bacon (I've eaten regular center cut & still lost, no issues at all), but go with turkey bacon if you'd like, sausage patty with side of scrambled eggs from Mc Ds, Jimmy Dean Sausage crumbles with scrambled eggs, Oh...and I would not recommend this often, but there is a breakfast bowl you can purchase in the frozen food section. It DOES HAVE POTATOES. It's also high in fat. Now, I've eaten one (most of one) twice but I worked it around the rest of my day being low in fat. They are good!! I'm sorry that I can't remember the brand name though.

I spray Pam in a ramekin dish...add some Jimmy Dean sausage crumbles, egg whites, and provolone cheese... microwave for 1 min. Easy, delicious and filling breakfast.

I have a two egg omelette with a slice of provolone or swiss cheese. It fills me up well all the way until lunch! I have eaten this everyday for three months and it hasn't gotten old. Before that, I would switch it up with Special K Protein cereal with almond milk, but there were too many carbs for my taste...although it is really good stuff!

Cottage cheese is a frequent breakfast food for me, in addition to what has already been mentioned. It's high in Protein and fairly low in carbs. Breakfast is the hardest meal of the day for me. I like to make sure I'm getting a minimum of 10 g of Protein, otherwise I feel like I'm playing catch-up at the end of the day.

      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

      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!
