The day is finally here! I had like four slices of gyro and two Tomato slices and a teeny bite of pita. Technically I pureed it in my mouth by chewing the hail out of it. I feel good! I ate barely more than my one year old but more than a couple of bites I would say I had about 12 good bites. I'm happy with that.

I just ate the exact same meal for Breakfast and this time I put it in a measuring cup I ate half a cup of meat and the bits of pita let me know how much you get in

So I did this too for my first puréed meal just now! I had 1 oz of rice, a little shredded cheese, a tsp of sour cream mixed with salsa verde, and 2 oz of grilled chicken. It took me about and hour and a half to finish that but it was SO good.

I want to try rice but I'm so afraid! All I've been eating so far is meat, mashed potatoes, and carrots. How did the rice go down?

The rice was VERY easy, but Mexican rice tends to be very soft so it was easy to turn to mush in my mouth first.

That's awesome everyone. Very proud of the vomments,in portion watching and eating throughly. Great work!

One thing to consider is the Protein amount you achieve in a day. Everyone's Dr is a little different but your body needs around 50/60 Proteins a day or you can more easily have other complications. Also, protein helps your body not break down muscle and helps prevent Hair loss in many cases.

Of course following your Dr recommended levels of food types is key since everyone is different, put trying to eat protein first and then other things can be really important

I also started pureed food this week. I made chicken salad and put it in the food processor. It's not totally pureed, but it is close. When I eat it I get some pain like I need to belch. I'm wondering if I am eating it too fast. I am paranoid about leaks, but I am not having any other issues.

      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!
