So I have transitioned to soft foods and have been full since morning on about 2 OZ of scrambled eggs. I did bring myself to eat so I could get closer to my Protein goal... but I think I ate the wrong thing. I first tried some ground turkey meat seasoned like tacos will a little bit of cheese, but the meat so was so dry and was hard to swallow. So I had some chili that the rest of the family had the in the crockpot all day. It was really wet and mostly ground beef-it went down great. NOW my stomach is doing all sorts of things...I have sharp pains and I'm fighting back heartburn. The pain almost feels like incision pain, the sharp pain you get when you bend down. Is this familiar to anyone? This is my second day having soft food so I'm not shocked I made a bad choice. I think the meat was fine it was just too spicy!!

Sounds like how I felt when I ate too much too fast early on. Be careful adding new food into your diet so quickly.

Soft foods..ground turkey f is probably too hard on your stomach at this point. the seasoning may also be too harsh also.

Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are great for Protein. I still can't eat eggs or spicy foods, they do not set well with me. Take your time when eating, it really makes a difference.

U r right kitklass Greek yogurt and cottage are great Protein sources. For Snacks I eat mozzarella cheese sticks by weight watchers. It goes down good and I enjoy the taste. I am almost 11 weeks out and these foods are def main staples of my diet.

Yikes! I'll have to really readjust. My NUT gave me a list of approved meal and ground turkey was on it was ground beef was not just yet. thanks for the advice guys. Is this burning stomach pain pretty common after a mess-up like this?

It can be. Try taking an over the counter PPI like omeprazole (prevacid) for heartburn (Walgreens or Costco). It helps me a lot.

Try waiting a bit before adding ground turkey or beef.

      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.

      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! 🤣
