1/2 cup of velvety black bean Soup. Going to the movies tonight and wishing I could have popcorn...movie theatre popcorn is the best :-( I know it will likely be at least a year before that is even possible.

My niece graduated from High School this afternoon. After Commencement we went to Olive Garden. Had their Lasagna Premivera with grilled chicken off their light menu. Ate all the meat (protein first!) and maybe half the Pasta, before I was just done. Had about a Tablespoon of salad and half a bread stick. Tasted good though! All in all I feel very good about my choice. Went for a three mile walk when I got home.

You should try a few pieces of popcorn, just chew them up real well.

I ended up bringing a Protein shake and some plain hummus. Not the greatest movie experience without the popcorn. But once I got into the movie I forgot about the Snacks. I was actually considering buying popcorn chewing and spitting- then I realized how ridiculous I was behaving. I'm only 5 days post op so prob not the greatest idea for me to eat popcorn even if it's only a few pieces. Worried about a bowel obstruction or overindulging and stretching my stomach.

I made chili in the crock pot and cooked it a little longer than usual to soften the ground beef a little extra. Also made roast beef in the pressure cooker with carrots and cooked it longer than usual so the beef was soft. Lots of Protein & it'll last all week ( unless the family eats it all up quick). I used the beef broth & Water that I cooked the roast in and dipped the TINY bites of beef in it to keep it soft, went down great! I can't seem to stomach chicken anymore.

Yes, you're right to NOT have popcorn this early in your recovery. When you're cleared for regular foods you can try a few pieces of popcorn, if you promise to chew them up real good! ;-)

I love the morning star "sausage." 10g of protein! I also like the Boca Burger... It has 15g of Protein. Tonight I had baked chicken and a small piece of sweet potato. So far nothing I've tried has agitated my tummy. That's good and a little scary. I almost want my body to reject something's so I stay away from them. I am way too scared and way too gung ho about loosing weight to try sugar or fried foods!

Snap, I seem to be able to eat anything but just much smaller portions. I wish my body would reject sugary foods but it doesn't so trying to stay away from them.

      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!
