Recommended Posts

go to bariatriceating.com. good recipies, depending on how your doctor wants your diet you will need to be a bit careful but I figure as long as i do the Protein first at all meals, I am good.

There are also articles on this site regarding cooking, and cooking for one. PIntrest also has ideas and recipes. Lastly, I have found several items at Trader Joe's that work for me.

Happy eating.

"The World According to Egg Face" has a great blog and Pinterest site... you HAVE to check her out! I also find myself getting kind of bored and sometimes just adding something a little different to the usual is enough to change it up and feel like enough of a variety to break the boredom. For example, I've been eating either oatmeal or Greek yogurt for Breakfast with a scoop of Protein powder every ... Last week I added chopped pecans and a pinch of shredded coconut in my tropical fruit Greek yogurt and it was delish! I felt like I was eating desert for Breakfast. Ended up having it every day haha! I'm also always scouring recipes and try to make something new every weekend... here's the one I did this weekend. It was amazing.. very light and yummy... will definitely make it again and put it in my usual rotation. Have fun trying new things!

Lime Shrimp and Avocado salad


1 lb jumbo cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined, chopped
1 medium Tomato, diced

1 avocado diced

1 jalepeno, seeded and diced fine

¼ c chopped red onion

2 limes

1 t olive oil

1 T chopped cilantro

Salt and pepper


In small bowl mix onion, juice of the limes, olive oil, and pinch of salt and pepper. Let marinate for 5 min. In a larger bowl mix other ingredients and then toss lightly with dressing.

      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!
