Anything that didn't bother my stomach. Mine varies from day to day but I was cleared for anything I wanted at that point.

I was cleared to eat all foods as tolerated from 6 weeks on. Be careful eating cheese, you don't want to get backed up.

I'm starting to eat shredded cheese too. What does backed up mean?

Backed up means constipated. I eat cheese as well, but I eat a balanced diet of fruit and veg as well. OP seem to indicate that she was using cheese as her main Protein. That could lead to Constipation.< /p>

Yes I have learned my lesson from eating too much cheese! All meat even in gravy and lunch meat makes my stomach hurt. I need to come up with some alternatives.

I am cleared for everything except raw vegetables at this point. The problem is most times when I try something new it feels terrible.

I'm kinda the same way... I can't hardly eat any meats so I don't I eat a lot of cheese but take Fiber mix in my drink every day and since I can't eat the meat and need the Protein I've been eating vegan burgers or chicken patties. I love them but then again I ate them BEFORE I even had surgery. I can eat veggies but they have to be mush practically. I think that you should just try lil thing and see what is tolerated the best. Honestly all you can really do right! I'm sure you will figure out what you can and can not handle. Ask your nut too for suggestions. Like avocados and egg whites. I can't eat the yoke but whites are ok with me. mush fruits like bananas and Water based fruits like watermelon.

You could try Beans. They will add carbs, but they are a good source of Protein. Lentils, black Beans and split peas have the highest Protein. You can blend them in a Soup or eat them whole. I sometimes have black beans with a sunny side up egg and a slice of avocado. Lentils I like in a Soup with onions and mushrooms. Split peas I make a chunky soup and garnish with pepitas and a scoop of Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Good thing about beans is they won't make you constipated

Be careful of bananas - they are high in sugar. I think Apples & bananas have the highest amount of sugar, but I'd have to google to confirm.

I also added raw spinach to my smoothies early on. Since they were pulverized they weren't hard to digest.

      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.
