I just started with soft foods today, but... I've kinda decided not to. They don't give enough bang for the nutritional buck. YMMV.

It was allowed on my plan at 4 months. I don't eat bread, rice, or Pasta very often, and when I do, I keep it to the minimum, maybe one of them once or twice a week, or maybe less.

I was allowed "thin" type breads at 8 weeks. I still avoid most bread, Pasta, and rice, although I have eaten all of those things since surgery. It honestly doesn't appeal to me- the "doughy-ness" of the bread is a turn-off. Hard to explain...lol

Hi!

I'm good. it's been very little drama. I have found that if I shift all my Protein Shake intake to the AM it helps with that weird bloating/over full feeling. if I drink them too late in the day i feel icky.

Are you excited Jessica? Did they tell you to bring your own shakes to the hospital. I was so glad I did, the hospital shakes are NASTY :P

Beyond excited! I never thought to bring my own. Sounds like a good idea! I'm a little nervous. My mom was supposed to be sleeved last Monday, but when they opened her up she had cirrhosis of the liver and has to be sewn back up! She was completely cut open too, not laparoscopic.

Oh no! poor thing! How is she doing now? You will be ok! When they did mine they found a cyst on my fallopian tube and had to call in a gyno consult while I was under but everything turned out to be ok. I felt really good after surgery, it was like blinking and it was over. my only bummer is I still can't really bend or lift anything but I am walking about totally fine. you will do great! Definitely bring your won shakes, you don't want to mess around with flavors when you are all layin' in that bed.

She's ok now, sore, but ok. I've had 2 csections so I hope the pain is similar or less lol!

I think it is less! I haven't had a c section BUT was with many friends who did and they couldn't walk for a few days. I literally stood up after surgery and walked myself to the bathroom right after I woke up. pain killers at home for only 2 days before bed and I only used them twice in the hospital before bed. i'm glad your mom is doing ok :)

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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! 🤣
