I love corned beef too. Never liked it as a kid or even through my 20s but I love it now.

I loved corned beef. I made it on sunday for the first time since surgery and it made me sick. I chewed really well on purpose and it still didn't want to stay down. SAD. I would eat it at least once a month pre op.

I made some also, while it didnt make me sick it did cause some discomfort. Must be the cabbage causing gas.

I made corned beef and cabbage for the first time ever this past weekend. My local grocery store actually offered the regular cut and a special lean cut of the brisket. I bought the lean cut and it did not have the fat pad on top and just a small amount of marbling. While the fat is probably the tastiest part, it still tasted good and brought back memories of my mom's corned beef. ( My mom passed away in 2003) There are some things I might do different when cooking again, but overall I was very pleased with it. ( Even my 94yr old grandma gave it her stamp of approval!)

My husband made corned beef in our pressure cooker. He then proceeded to shred it, like he does pulled pork. I had no problem eating it, my son, who also, has lpbnd, also had no problem. In fact, he came back for more later in the day!It was yummy!

I made corned beef and cabbage on Sunday, and it was SO good! First time since surgery. Even though it was tender, it still took a lot of chewing. So after I orgasmed out with the first few bites, it started to become a chore. But was it GOOD :D

I made two and brought them into work on Monday with cabbage, carrots and onions. We all ate it yesterday, too. I think there are some final leftovers which we will attack today. I love it!

I made it in the pressure cooker, too. It was incredibly tender, and I (happily) ate it with no problem!

      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

      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!
