Thanks for the info.

I was hungry and at the moment I did what made feel good. I did not dump or threw up afterwards. I am sick of those sugar free drinks which are ten times sweeter than the regular ones. Most ppl are able to eat soft foods after two weeks of being sleeved. Having steam shrimp or baked fish was okay by me. The only reason why my doctor/hospital is on a strick liquid diet is because of insurance reasons, the more restrictions apply to the package makes it easier to approve and pay for surgeries especially for smaller framed ppl as myself (212lbs 5'4 BMI 35, day of surgery Sept 26, 2016 203lbs and today 189lbs Oct 11, 2016).

@@tess170 Swedish Fish are gooey and can easily stick or cause an obstruction. They could catch on a staple and cause a leak. This isn't about throwing up or dumping - it's about causing a complication. Prescribing liquid diets has nothing to do with insurance approval. Why did you have surgery if you're just going to eat what makes you feel good? Swedish fish are not soft foods by the way. They aren't allowed on my plan EVER. It doesn't matter how small you started out or how much weight you've lost - this is about your stomach healing and avoiding complications. You are an adult and can do what you want - I'm just making sure that others don't read your posts and assume this is okay.

You're playing with fire with everything you wrote in this post. Sorry to say that doing what makes you feel good has got us into needing surgery. Also thinking it is for insurance reasons is so very very wrong. You should youtube the surgery to see how raw your stomach is.

I never seen a plan that day "do what makes you feel good when you're hungry." But you are right, you are doing it your way.

Good luck, but dont tell others it is because of insurance reasons because that is a lie and dangerous.

@@amberb1979 Please don't chew and spit out food. This is a form of an eating disorder. It also causes your stomach to start the digestion process and can increase acid production - making you have issues with GERD.

No no.. I was just kidding.. I would never do that.. thankyou though :)

You are not supposed to use Gummy Vitamins anymore after surgery, swedish fish are even worse! And two weeks out...

Please don't confuse people doing research.

Feel free to click on your name, then on your IGNORE preferences and add my name to your list. You then won't see ANY of my posts. :)

I don't pay much attention to WHOM I am posting so telling me who I can and cannot reply to probably won't get you the results you'd like.

:D

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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.
