I've discovered the joy of "cream of" Soups. I had a cream of cheddar cheese last night and a cream of chicken tonight. What a difference a little dairy makes in feeling more full!

My nut said two shakes and a lean n green meal. Wish I could have soups, I was suggested to have broth if needed.

Day 7 for me here and while I'm bored and would really like some Pasta, I'm chugging along. I made homemade cream of chicken Soup last night and it was a lovely treat. Too much sodium and fat for a regular meal but such a fabulous change of pace from blah and bland.

Anyone else having mood swings and stomach pain? I want to just sleep the next week away:(

Yes I am experiencing mood swings and I just try to keep myself at a safe distance to people. Unfortunately in my line of work I am in direct contact to people so I just hold my tongue the best I can. Once I am on break I go into our Quiet Room to meditate and relax by reminding myself this will pass and feel a whole lot better.

Anyone have a grocery list for their two week post op? So worried of buying too much when I may need so little.

Yes to the mood swings. Not fun! We hosted a World Cup party today and in spite of all of the delicious food in the house, I did not cheat even one little bit! A dear friend made me homemade broth for the party and it was delicious!

Also, today was a lot easier than the previous days (mood swings not withstanding), so hopefully I've turned a corner. Jury duty tomorrow-ugh!

Let's see...if I'd bought everything at once I would have needed 14 cups of yogurt, 14 sugar-free jellos, 7 low-fat cream of chicken Soups (which I dilute and strain), 14 packets of sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 4 1/2 gallon cartons of Mootopia skim milk and, of course, good old Protein powder for my shakes. I think that's it. Of course, we'll be eating the same stuff post-op, so it will not go to waste if you get extra. Good luck!

Thank you so much I needed an idea.

Hi Everyone, im also having my surgery on the 1st July. Very excited. Im almost a week into my pre-op diet and im suprisingly doing pretty well. At work people are having bbqs making cakes etc and trying to give it all to me, bit annoying when they all know i cant eat any of it. I usually have a shake in the morning, a opti fast bar or mousse for dinner then cup of Soup for dinner. I founf the opti fast soup yuk!!

      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!
