Haven't has an easy time of it. Was readmitted to hospital 9 days post OP for nausea heartburn and vomiting. At er realized i was also dehydrated. Spent two nights and over half that time on strictly iv fluids and ice chips. Been home 5 days now and if i can't get past drinking Water. I do eat two sf puddings a day to take my yummy crushed needs, but aside from that i am strictly sipping water and can't seem to get more than 24oz a day. And don't even mention anything Protein at the moment. Just the thought gives nee the slimeys.

I am 10 days post op and I can't get my Protein in at all.....I'm still on clears so I have to do the shakes and I've tried 5 different kinds/flavors with different ways and they make me sooooo sick..

I had the same issue, I couldnt take anything w/ whey. I was doing French vanilla Slim Fast w/ Silk Almond milk..but it wasnt enough Protein content.

The nurse was calling & I got stressed, so I found "EAS" Soy Protein powder @walmart. Its vanilla but I can use my almond milk. Its 20g/8 oz serv.

& Kellogg's Protein Bars (10g/ bar) #works for me

I was sleeved on 8/23. I find that I can eat anything I try. I had some Totinos pizza rolls last night and today. I have even been eating Bit of Honey candy. I try ti stick to puree, but I seem to be doing OK on soft foods, so I try to alternate them. I do think I am hungry, and have something every 2 hours. It is really hard for me to get in my liquids, but if I have a popsicle or shaved ice sno cone, it really helps. For Protein, I have been using New Whey Protein Shots. I get mine at Walmart. These are 3.5 oz and have 42 g of protien. They are much better to me than any shakes. They taste like really strong, thick Kool Aid drink mix. I also like the Slim Fast High Protein chocolate, but that is 10 oz for 20 g protien. I think now I am in the 3rd week stall!

6/1/13- 268lbs

9/11/13-237

      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!
