One of my favorites is cream of chicken and adding spices, like garlic powder, onion powder, season salt, whatever spices or herbs you wanna try. Delicious and filling :)

I'm 6 months post open and i still have a hard time with meat. Causes me great pain, and i even throw up the only relief I can get then is to take some baby gas drops.

I've heard you can have some serious repercussions if you overdo.

How are you doing now a few hours later @shani1970. Been a bit worried about you.

After a few hours I was feeling much better. Won't make that mistake again. Any ideas besides broth to eat?

Try these. I didn't have these when I had surgery 6 weeks ago but my spouse had surgery on the 1st and I have made these for her and I even liked them.

@"shani1970" im 6 days out. The way i look at my stomach now is like a new born babies stomach. They can only have milk because their body cant take anything else. We can only have liquids because our stomach cant take anything else.... besides broth you can have sugar free Jello, sugar free ice pops, crystal light and your protien drink. Its only this way for about another week. As the weeks go by you will gradually be able to eat a vareity of different things. Fist this to do after this is get your mental right! You have to change the way you think about food. Pick up a hobby to keep you busy thays what i did. They have adult coloring books that relaxes you and takes your mind off things. I have one and i have used it everyday since surgery..... honey get back up on thay horse and remember why you had the surgery ti begin with! Wish u well

Hope you are ok. I heard a gentleman messed up and ate a chicken sample from Sam's Club and it caused him to be sick. He was to ashamed to tell his Dr and by the time his family got him to hospital he didn't make it because it caused his staples to leak :(

I get the chicken and stars and drain them. I like the broth better. sugar free popsicles. sugar free fudgesicle. Jello. Take it slow. Be careful. Didn't want to scare you but I don't think they stress enough the importance of following the after surgery rules.

I am over a year out and I still cannot eat a whole pork chop...i can not even imagine your pain. I am usually full from 1.5 eggs. Listen to your nutritionist and ask them for ideas to eat. There are a lot of delicious Protein drinks that satisfy your need for food because you should not even feel hungry. Your mind might tell you you are hungry but you need to listen to your stomach anymore first and foremost.

I wonder how a pureed burger would be??

Contemplating a turkey pureed burger now - can't think of any way it'd be edible. I go to mushys next week. Hmm.
I'm wondering - maybe some ground turkey with a tish of thousand island dressing? could be reminiscent of a big mac?? LOL I might give it a try!
@@Christinamo7 has a recipe like that - not sure for what stage.
I do modify a recipe online for a "Big Mac Salad"

I use my ground sirloin/ground turkey breast blend, heat some up and melt cheddar on it. I put a very small amount of shredded romaine lettuce in my wee bowl, then add the meat/cheese and top it with a few drops of thousand island dressing, one green onion chopped up and one pickle chopped up and add some sesame seeds. really hits the spot

there is no reason you couldn't use all ground beef or all ground turkey depending on your personal preference. for my plan I was allowed all this after 4 weeks.

Based upon the advice above from @@LipstickLady and what is allowed by your surgeon, I plan to stay FAR away from seeds for a good few months. I'm terrified of those little suckers getting caught in the staple- line of my new pouch.

Why would you do that to yourself. Its like trying to shove a pork chop threw a straw. You are not starving. Learn the difference of head hunger and real hunger. Drink Protein shakes. No solids for about a month maybe two. Swelling needs to go down. If you need guidance, reach out to me. Im at 23 mths.

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.
