One of my favorites with cottage cheese is tuna, a double Protein blast...

I was a very excited girl to be told I could eat anything today! I have been on liquids for 2 weeks (since surgery on 9-10)

You can eat anything now? I had surgery same day as you and they want me on soft foods this week. Just ate some tuna for the first time in ages. What food have you eaten so far?

Oh man, this is not encouraging. I'm still pre-op and I love cottage cheese. I eat it with lite canned peaches (in fruit juice, not heavy syrup), and I was hoping to just pulse those peaches in the blender to bring them into the purée stage. I'm not happy to hear your tastes have changed.

Mine didn't. I loved cottage cheese before and loved it after surgery. Though post surgery I had a new distaste for broth I didn't have before surgery.

Sorry, no I wasn't told I could eat "anything". I was just happy to eat. I was given a pretty large list of pureed meats, Beans, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, pudding, tofu, oatmeal, . Then I saw the NUT this Monday and she told me that if I felt like my tummy could handle more food....then I could try the next stage. (since we are 4 weeks out on nextTuesday) I have had canned chicken, left it in the Water it's packaged in (so it didn't dry out) and heated it in the microwave. The NUT said dry meat is what typically makes you sick, so I could add broth or fat free gravy. I thought I am not eating pureed meat....so I popped it in the microwave and it was DELICIOUS. I ate it slowly and chewed it VERY well. I have had fat free refried Beans and used some fage yougurt to kinda dip them in.....YUM but it sits kinda heavy. And I have some high Protein oatmeal that I have been eating in the morning. I eat over 30-45 min because I don't want to get sick.....also I'm supposed to stop drinking 15 min before and 45 min after. Seems to work.

      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
