Suggestions on what to eat?



Recommended Posts

Try Fage greek yogurt with 7 blueberries, 2 frozen strawberries, and about the size of your pinky banana with 1 splendia sugar and enjoy. I hate yogurt but it taste like a smoothie you would get from jamba juice I buy the 6 oz fage and use half of it one container is 18 gm of Protein so half is 9 or you can use the whole container just use 2 splendia and an xtra strawberry and 2 more blueberries.

I have ZERO energy...after I attempt to eat anything I have to lie down...It's so bad that I wished I could function normal without having to eat or drink anything because if that were the case id be fine.

Did you call your Dr. yesterday? This should not be happening but somehow you have to get more hydration.

JennyBeth is right, stay stay upright, it will help with the digestion.

Please get in touch with the dr. It may just be that you are so dehydrated that once you get hydrated you might be good to go.

Please let us know.

Agree with others - Water intake up as a priority. And talk to your doctor.

We each have "a book" that tells us what we can eat and when, and they're all different. Which means that no one way is right for everyone. I'd stick to Protein shakes sipped all day for a while, and perhaps a bit more watery than usual. Unless you really want it forget other stuff that you might not be ready for yet. On the Optifast program it says that it can be safely used for 3months (3 shakes a day) because it has a lot of Vitamins and minerals in it. An awful lot of healing can go on in that time.

Good luck.

      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!
