Now I certainly don't want to sound critical but unfortunately this may come across this way. I noticed that a lot of your posts are about food, some good choices and some being cravings. You haven't update your information so again can only guess you had sleeve? and you are only what 4 weeks out? I am 10 weeks and can barely eat the required foods that I need to be eating never mind having ANY kind of craving.

My point is this just head hunger cravings you are having? If they are real have you analyzed why you are thinking of eating such foods? This early out I don't think you should be or even considering eating any; this is just setting yourself up for failure.

Oh and please update your stats, much easier to answer your posts

I completely agree. Sorry, no offence but she's right. All of your posts are asking about what you can eat and when.

You're so early in and every post from practically post op day 1 has been questions about what foods you can eat at this stage or it almost sounds like what foods you want to try to get away with eating.

Did you go home with a food plan or a schedule for stages?

Maybe not focus so much on food. I know that's hard to do since we've all done it for so long! Can you try and find a hobby or something to take your mind off the food part of this journey?

I wish you success and I am rooting for you.

I hope your cravings damper down and you beat your head hunger.

Again, I apologize for sounding a bit harsh but it has been an observation for quite some time and just want you to succeed at this!

Thanks everyone I appreciate it. Oh no problem I don't mind criticism it honestly doesn't bother me whatsoever not being mean though. I never ate ice cream barely .... Just craving something cold and fruity so since I am not allowed fresh fruit didn't know if there was a ice cream fruity that we can have that can substitute that craving for fruit. I been sucking on lemons daily so bad like 2 a day!! lol haven't had any issues so yes a lot of my questions are about food that's why I am here learning how to eat see what people eat yes I know see a nutritionist I am but only so many questions I can ask in a visit. Also like to get others opinions as well!! I also tried to update my profile and I can't it doesn't allow me to but thanks yes I am 7 weeks out gastric bypass and on solid foods at this point. Just can't have raw vegetables or fresh fruit yet. Thanks though!!

I should've read this before I posted my comment.

Thank you for explaining more.

I put heaps of ice and a small amount of Water with my Protein Powder and blend it up. It has the consistency of soft serve, just icier (which I quite like).

      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.

      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!
