Also my NUT wants to move me away from the soft forms of Protein because I won't stay full as long. I finally got used to yogurt and now I'm cutting back!

I do not like shakes and have completely gotten off them, so eating all sorts of meats - beef, pork, chicken, meatballs, cheese, lunch eat, tuna, various other fish, crab, shrimp, etc. Nothing has bothered me.

Soft fruits and veggies if there's room.

And milk between meals.

I only drink Water, no sugar free stuff.

4 Wks post op, 80 oz Fluid, 63-78g Protein consistently.

Down 17lbs post op, 59 total.

May 23. I am eating greek yogurt, soft cheese, black Beans, 1/4 banana, Special K Protein plus Cereal with carb master milk. All food: 1 to 3 ounces maximum. Not wasting my calories with carbs yet. The yogurt has fruit. That's all the carbs I eat...beans are carbs but also protein. I realize that most of us are doing an Atkins diet or The Zone...without meaning to. No wonder I'm losing so much weight! 27 lbs already. I am not looking forward to eat the food that made me overweight. Gave up a lot... forever.

I eat basicly anything I want in small amounts but, I get my Protein in first can't work out at gym yet so I will be walking the perimeter of my pasture. I had some miner issues had upper GI yesterday and the tech informed me that it doesn't look like I had a vertical sleeve because it's round can't wait for my surgeon to explain that. It looks like I had a lap band and if thats the case look out. The physian asst. says that my stomach is still inflamed and that is why it looks like that we shall see on Monday and I hate to tell them I am going to have them to order another upper GI when I go back in a month.

I was sleeved May 1 and have been eating a totally normal diet since 28 days after that. I haven't had any issues with anything I've tried. I do stick to mainly Protein, but love fresh fruit. I did salad last week for the first time and it was good. And Thai food last night. 1 chicken satay and a spoonful of cashew chicken and I was (over!) done.

      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
