I was sleeved on the 30th. I was on Clear Liquids the first 2 weeks but I added Protein Drink in..as per my dr.

This is my 3rd week and I am eating soft. Cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, baby food meat sticks, canned fruit and veggies, Jello, pudding, string cheese, laughing cow wedges...tonight i am trying fish and green Beans. I am slowly working up to eating a meal. I've been lucky enough that I had no problems so far.

Right this moment I'm eating a scrambled egg. I scrambled it with some milk, cheese and teeny tiny diced cubes of ham! it's delicious :D and for lunch I had 1/4 cup of refried Beans with some cheese mixed in.

what are you guys eating ? ill be a month post op tmrw ..

Sleeved May 28 here. I am supposed to be on soft foods right now - mostly it's chili, refried Beans, and (still) lots of Protein shakes (they're so convenient). Seem to do okay with bananas, but only a half at a time. I've also had egg salad, chicken salad, and some egg salad avocado smush (recipe that someone here posted). I made a scrambled egg the second day of soft foods and made the mistake of eating the entire egg - it hurt. Later, I tried lentil Soup and didn't stop at half a cup like I should have - it hurt worse than the egg. Sleevie Ray Vaughn also reminded me that Trisquits, no matter how well chewed, are not soft food by keeping me bent over in pain for the better part of an hour.

My surgeon said I could have tilapia so the other night at Applebees I did. I could only finish half of the tilapia but none of the veggies or the roasted potatoes.

We went to a Mexican restaurant before that and I had the inside of a soft taco (barbacoa) and about a spoonful of Beans and that's all I could handle. Forget the rice, I gave that to my wife.

I've been eating Greek yogurt, poached eggs, chicken, tuna, imitation crab meat, ricotta bake with sauce and cheese & my favorite is re-fried Beans with some cheese. I did try some green beans and they were great. Next I'm going to try some baked fish, shrimp and scallops. I can't wait to have some salad and tomatoes, but I'm going to wait another week for that.

I'm six weeks out on Thursday. I'm cleared for all foods. My NUT wants me to get away from Protein Shakes sooner than later. I do lots of chicken and fish. I've also had beef and buffalo (yummy!). Haven't had any real problems. It's just about Portion Control. After Protein I only eat veggies. My Snacks are cheese and deli meat. Getting about 70grams of protein a day.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
