I am very bad at this whole pureed thing. Its gross to me so I just chew the crap out of my food. My husband got a spicy pepperoni pizza from wegmans and I couldnt help myself. I ate the toppings. I can tell you I didnt like it, I felt like it was burning my stomach and crawling back up my throat. I also could not eat all the toppings from the smallest piece in the box.

I know the temptation of it sounds good but as a fellow new sleever and a nurse I'm going to suggest that your new tummy is not ready for something like that

Just asking? No bashing needed!

Did anyone have puréed pizza topping during their 2 week purée diet:)

Hubby ordered a pepperoni pizza during my soft food stage. Since I was scared of eating the crust I took a fingerful of cheese and pepperoni off the top. Purred pizza sounds gross to me. And I went straight from full liquids (4 weeks) to soft foods (4 weeks).

Anything that shouldn't be pureed (pizza, tacos, etc) I didn't eat. Stuff like mashed potatoes, refried Beans, yogurt, etc I ate in the soft food stage.

But that scoopful of cheese and meat sure were yummy!

When I was in the pureed stage, I fixed something that might satisfy your "Italian Food" taste buds.

I used one cup of turkey meatballs (cooked as directed on the package), 1/2 cup pizza quick sauce, and 1/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese and 1/4 cup chicken broth (to thin everything enough to blend). This will make 4 1/2 cup servings. You can do it one of two ways. Either you can just blend everything together, and keep it in one container, or you can blend each ingredient separately and use four small containers. If you want layers, put a layer of turkey at the bottom of each container, then a layer or ricotta, and finally a layer of the pizza quick sauce. Store in the refrigerator, and heat each one in the microwave when you are ready to eat it. Yummy. Note that your doctor might not allow Tomato products during the pureed stage, so you should check your instructions.

Well the pizza did just find last night:)

I had scrambled egg this morning and got down half of it, I think I stopped just in time, kept burping it, but on the other hand it was tasty!

Tried chicken in a can tonight mixed with puréed salsa...the bomb!! Going to try a bit of white cheese sauce on it tomorrow;)

      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.

      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!
