OMG I'm so tired of liquids...



Recommended Posts

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and the purée is ok but still be careful of what you eat. I was also looking forward to mashed potatoes and my new stomach was not loving them! I even thinned them out with chicken broth and they made me so sick! I stick to eggs, yogurt, chicken Soup, and a lentil soup, I will occasionally have some very moist fish. I was told I can have eggs and fish solid as long as they were kept moist. Good Luck ladies and guys. It is so worth it! I'm down 25lbs/total of 32lbs and counting!

THANKS!!! YOU'RE RIGHT I'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT I CAN TOLERATE OR EVEN LIKE WITH THIS NEW STOMACH. THINNING OUT SEEMS LIKE A GREAT IDEA

This totally made my day. I haven't laughed this hard in awhile. It's comforting to know I'm not the only one sick of post-op liquid diet. I got sleeved on 7/28 and so far have lost 20#. I have a lot of energy but I need more liquid diet ideas. Im so over it.....I keep thinking maybe my Dr will let me start purees sooner than later. Thanks all for sharing.

OMG! This post just saved my life! I am 1 week out of surgery (8/8) and have had a pretty good recovery, but is am craving foods like crazy! I know so much of this is my head taking, but man, I didn't expect this part to be so hard. It's harder than the pre-op was for me. So glad to hear it will pass, but thank you so much for bringing this up!!

Also, as hungry as I am, I am having a hard time getting more than 3 ozs of Protein in at a time, so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to eat solid food if I tried. Does anyone notice their hunger lessen the Protein they get in?

Also, SAVORY Soup RECOMMENDATIONS!! Everything Is sweet!!! I want something savory!! Help!!

Hi guys, I had my surgery on Tuesday, so today is day four after surgery, my doc has said to start puréed diet already but I'm actually feeling quite satisfied with the liquid / Protein shake diet so I'm going to stick with it for at least a full week then introduce a puréed Soup once a day for a couple of weeks and see how I go. I've lost 9lb already !

I went to a restaurant with my partner yesterday and sat and watched him eat a full meal, have a dessert and a big frothy sweet coffee. I had a glass of Water, cup of tea with skim milk and sweetener and not for one moment felt like eating. I also went through a Macdonalds drive through today and picked up a large Big Mac meal with coke for a friend and found the smell in the car horrible, again, I didn't have any desire to eat !

I hope this lasts !!!!!!!

      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.

      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! 🤣
