Thanks for the cucumber and hummus idea. It has rocked my world. I'm dying for anything healthy with flavor. A friend stopped by unexpectedly and I even whipped this out as an appetizer and she loved it!

Breakfast: a yogurt

Mid morning: handful mixed nuts (unsalted)

Lunch: half an avocado topped with half a small tin flavoured tuna, handful of cherries

Dinner: this yummy salad that I saw on Jamie Oliver - marinate some halved peaches in rosemary and olive oil, then barbecue them, meanwhile arrange some proscuitto on a plate, top with the barbecued peaches, then with a mix of rocket and tarragon, dressing is 2/3 olive oil to 1/3 red wine vinegar and a teaspoon of greek yogurt to make it creamy. Delicious!

And a glass of sparkling shiraz and a nice brewed coffee after dinner.< /p>

10km walk this morning with DH. Glorious summer day here in Melbourne.

11 days out of banding and was told to eat soft foods

went out for the first time and was very nervous

1-cheese enchilda - refried Beans 6 chips

two bites guamole -- some tastes of hot sauce

l pb - small one

sipped on melted ice

our doc said to get a glass of ice and as it melts - while you are eating -- sip that

and it helped

taking small bites and getting the flavor of all is the key to eating --- I guess

I still want more than 1/4 of a c

Oh dear me had a bad eating day/night last night at work - the hospital had a holiday meal provided for us - did not go well for me.

B: tried thinned down refried Beans w/ shredded cheese - took couple bites - came back up - so had mocha cheesecake Protein Shake instead

L: 3 attempts at holiday meal bites - turkey, potatoes, dressing, fruit, ham, corn, spice cake - every attempt came back up - think I kept 2 bites of cake down - but i think only because it was mostly frosting i tried :tongue_smilie:

S: 2 handfuls of smartfood popcorn and 1/8 c. m&m's

D: couple bites mac & cheese and a cherry turnover :tongue:

      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.
