lunch is strained cream of mushroom Soup made with fair life Protein skim milk. I added a dash of onion and garlic powder and a dusting of pepper. attachicon.gifImageUploadedByBariatricPal1413575127.553834.jpgattachicon.gifImageUploadedByBariatricPal1413575153.951134.jpgi probably won't finish the whole

1/2 cup serving. But what nice is the fair life milk is 13g Protein per eight ounce. Taste good.

Ps. I had my mom go get me milk of magnesia and I was able to pass gas feeling a bit better than yesterday. I can still feel all this gas moving.

Boo, I'm allergic to mushrooms so I couldn't get it at the time. I got cream of broccoli instead.

Today's lunch, refried Beans mixed with a little milk to thin it out some and 1 packet low sodium taco seasoning for flavor. 1/2C serving, I don't think I'll finish the whole thing.

I ordered my unjur.y yesterday, since I'm just finishing up my vanilla Cream Protein mix at home. It was really good...but like $35 a jug, unless I buy 3 jugs. I had bought 2 chocolate and 1 vanilla cream. The chocolate is gross. Maybe once I can mix a banana in with it, it might be alright. But anyway--I hear the unjur.y is amazing! So you got the unflavored one, right? I ordered the vanilla. I still have some of my unflavored GENEPRO Protein, so I can keep using that in my broth for now.

Glad you had a pretty good day out! And great job planning ahead, knowing your mom was going to be eating a chicken sandwich! (mouth watering again....LOL) I LOVE LOVE your Wonder Woman thermos!!!

Amylynns, which chocolate shake are you doing preop?

My appt today was pretty uneventful. Just some basic preregistration questions, blood work, and met with the anesthesiologist. I also found out my surgery time had changed. It was scheduled, according to the surgeons office, for an 8:00am arrival and 10:00am surgery, but, when I got to the hospital today, they have me scheduled for a 5:00am arrival and 7:00am surgery! The hospital said that their times are right, but, I'm still going to check next week with the surgeons office!

So I have a weird side effect, nothing bad. After I eat, I get really warm, not sweaty just warm. I assume it's my metabolism ramping up.

Glad your appointment went well! My surgery is at 7AM too! (on Monday)

I'm using a Brand called Bio Trust Protein. But I don't like the chocolate, unless I just chug it, LOL. The vanilla I mix with 1 cup of OJ and it's yummy!!

@@AuriP The warming up maybe a mild case of dumping. My understanding as the food enters the intestines it is rapidly absorbed. You body is "starving" and wants it now. That rapid absorption causes tiered, hot flashes and in some cases nausea and an unwell feeling (sometimes severe). Consider slowing down your eating. Are you taking 20 to 30 minutes to eat the whole thing? I know it's painfully slow. Or maybe something that didn't agree with your pouch.

Tonight's blood sugar was 76. I am going to check it again in an hour and see where it's at, if it's dropped I guess I'm calling the exchange. I have no idea how to give it a little boost since I've had surgery.

Oh I take longer than the 30 minutes. I am going super slow. If this is my dumping, I'll take it over others I've seen. I was really warm with tuna and low fat mayo because the tuna is so dry, again with the Beans, not as severe as the tuna. I haven't had any tuna today so we shall see. It happened last week but I wasn't consuming anything that would cause dumping since I changed up my Protein.< /p>

The hardest thing for me is that I'm Vegan I'm hopeful I can find lots of good alternatives. I just bought 2 books from the UK on how to eat from surgery on. I also found a awesome Bariatric Dr in Houston that is vegan. He also has lots of great information...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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.
