chicken or turkey breast low sodium cold-cuts. I also bought chicken sausage with spinach and feta, grilled it up and then cut it into tiny pieces and took the casing off. One link is 15g of Protein and super filling.

canned chicken , fish, refried Beans, any other kind of cooked Beans, hummus, cottage cheese, ricotta and string cheese, laughing cow spreadable cheeses, and types of soft foods that are not crunchy or stringy like celery, cooked veggies. The most important thing is to not take too large of bites. Use the size of a pencil eraser as a guide and chew until nothing left to chew and use 1/4 - 1/2 cup at one time. Cheers!

I made a ricotta "lasagna" bake with cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, mozz all mixed together, topped with marinara, could add sausage or ground beef if your sleeve can tolerate that, and top with extra mozz. Bake until heated thru. I baked several in little glass ramekins. Each little ramekin lasted at least 3 meals. It was a good departure from eggs and made me feel like I was eating "Italian" food again. :)

For lunch I usually do tuna salad that I make (light mayo, dill and lemon juice) with 2 saltines. It fills me up. I have also tried chili and drain the liquid. For dinner, I have had grilled salmon and grilled zucchini (cut the seeds away), turkey meatloaf (was a tad dry so used ketchup), my FAVORITE, baked avocado with an egg in the hole where the pit was. Top with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese bake at 425 for 15-20 min. It is amazing!!! Tomorrow I am making spaghetti squash as a pasts replacement with some marinara and cheese. If you look on the recipe forum you will find lots of "mushy" recipes! good luck and enjoy!!

Tomorrow I am making spaghetti squash as a pasts replacement with some marinara and cheese.

It's funny, the first time I tried spaghetti squash it was served to me like spaghetti. I was told it was squash, but was told that it's spaghetti. I hated it. The next time I tried it, it was just the squash with some olive oil, garlic and a few other light herbs. Fricken loved it!

It's the same way with veggie burgers. Don't lie to me and call it a burger, it will disappoint everytime. But tell me you made veggie patties and I am in the right mindset for it and it's OK.

If you are looking for a serious Pasta replacement, I heartily recommend Banza chickpea "pasta".

      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.

      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!
