I am only on day 18 ( and was thinking about the "when" idea of tacos, but know that I canno have it annnnnnnytime soon).

Actually..... I've only lost 12 lbs and have stalled al-damn-ready....( for the past 5 days)..... So I guess all i NEED to eat are Protein drinks!

( feeling very discouraged & frustrated right now....)

Maybe that's why I was "dreaming" about tacos.......

I've heard there's a side effect of having Surgery in Mexico...... You wake up from anesthesia craving, chips, salsa, guacamole and Margaritas..... and instead of walking.... you do the Merengue... Ole'

Weird question. Has anyone tried to eat raw oysters on soft foods? Haha

I've had cooked oysters. A bit tough. Raw oysters are generally not chewed so I think it would be too big a chunk.

Are shrimp soft foods?

My surgeon classified them as a soft-solid food. I could have them in week four. Flaky white fish was considered a soft food on my plan and I could have it in week three. I had red snapper the beginning of week three and it was like heaven -- probably because it was at a really nice restaurant and the chef prepared it very well. I had no issues with fish (white flaky) and ate it often in weeks three and four. I still enjoy it about once a week but have moved on to other stuff as well now that I'm in week seven. :-)

I am allowed to eat shell-less tacos, I will be ten weeks out..... haha, make that taco with no lettuce, but I make up my little (very little pile)... sot seasoned turkey, cheese, small dollop sour cream, salsa..... but I decided not to eat this too much, it really is a trigger to wanting the actual shell..... must be because I went to TJ for the surgery, weird huh?

      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!
