I am 5 months out and can eat a slice of pizza without any trouble. i normally get meat lovers for the protein...but I've tried others. I don't do it very often but its nice to feel a little normal and have a slice with friends every once in awhile.

You and me both. I know that it's not something healthy or anything that we should be indulging in but I'm pretty sure that if we have a slice once in a blue it wouldn't kill us. I live in NYC so like every block or so has a pizzeria. Lol. No fun.[/quote']

Dee, I was told after six weeks post op, I can have thin crust pizza, with healthy toppings.

I haven't had broccoli but if I can handle it in the future maybe I can have a slice with broccoli on top sounds good right? I eat Celeste frozen pizza usually half of it the whoe pie is 350 calories.

I think we all try way too soon. I wasn't able to tolerate it until the end of my 3rd month. Just make sure to do small bites and chew really good.

I'm going to be 3 months. Had only 1 slice of papa John pizza the slice is tiny not like regular pizza places like 2 weeks ago since I was leaving the beach with my family. Now sometimes I eat half frozen Celeste pizza for lunch. I don't eat much. Taking my self out to UNO for steak tips & mash potato when I hit 6 months.

That's awesome...it's hard sometimes to not want the stuff that isn't good for you when everyone around you is eating it. Like at parties and such. I had my surgery a week before Easter nd going to the family dinner and having to drink broth was just depressing...but now I feel much better about it. I hardly ever do anything I would consider a bad choice but it's nice to know that every once in awhile I can treat myself. I too try out new foods and like you.l.sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I defiantly think this is a journey and I'm glad we have this forum to lean on each other and share our experiences. When others in my family don't know how I'm feeling...it's nice to get on here and hear from people who do.

Need advice, i am a munchier. I am in the pureed stage but I need some crunch. Any recommendations?

Rice cake is really good. I have to buy another bag. Took me like 3/4 days to eat a small bag since I can't fit much after surgery.

I'm a big crunchy fan as well. Once you get past pureed foods, you might want to try Kashi Pita crisps. 120 calories in eleven crisps and crunchy heaven! Great with salads, Soups, or even as a low calorie snack. Kellogg's Special K Cracker chips are excellent as well. Not quite as crunchy as the pita crisps but a really great substitute for potato chips and 110 calories in 27 chips. They come in a ton of flavors and I eat them any time I would have eaten chips or fries in my other life. Lol! You might enjoy nuts as well. Just about any kind of nut you can name is rich in "good" fats (mono and polyunsaturated) and they're a good source of Protein as well.

Great idea Mami! I love the Quakes Rice Snacks and they come in sweet and savory flavors! 120 to 140 calories and they are delicious!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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.
