I make my own parmesan crisps. I use 1 bag of finely grated parmesan cheese with 1 Tbsp of flour and mix in rosemary or other dried herbs. Put them in less than teaspoon size mounts on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees for 7 mins. They are good. I am going to try baking them with out flour just to see what happens.

I read an article about slider foods and this is what it said about slider foods:

"Slider foods are often foods that does not satisfy hunger but instead create a craving. Any food can be a slider food if there is so much pleasure in the mouth-feel or taste that repeating the pleasurable experience takes on more importance than actually feeding hunger. Many are high calorie and highly processed, not nutritious."

I copied this from a post from several years ago:

Slider foods are foods that you are able to eat a lot (to0 much) of. They tend to be low Protein, carb filled "junk" type foods. You will not feel the restriction in your stomach as you do with dense Protein. Therefore making them a "dangerous" choice for some who tend to over eat.

Slide foods are foods that go down very easily, so things with a high liquid content or things that dissolve quickly and easily in Water. Think of when you eat a cheeto, how dissolves in your mouth before you even swallow it? That's a slider food. Probably the best example of that would be cotton candy. So, chips, cheetos, some crackers, breads and cakes. Then super liquidy foods like Soup or ice cream or milk shakes. Things that really do just pass right through your sleeve so you don't experience any restriction.

Early on, like just a few weeks post-op, things like Soup and yogurt and such do fill you up, due to the swelling you still have in your stomach. But once you are several months out and all healed up, you will see that stuff like that just goes straight through.

      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
