@ genn looks great!! When were you able to tolerate fish/ shrimp? I start low-residue tomorrow which means I can have tender meats fish legumes etc... a little nervous because I know others have not tolerated Foods while this early out, I just have to remember Chew Chew Chew Chew. Did you use a seasoning packet? Would love the recipe. Thanks!

This may sound stupid, but everytime I use mine, the zuchinni is so watery. Tried different ways to drain Water. Each time I've tried this, thinking this is it, its gonna be great and poo, mush complete mush. What's your secret?

I put in baby shrimp 3 oz one tablespoon of old bay seasoning one teaspoon of fresh muncher garlic. One table spoon of Texas Pete hot sauce I sautéed the shrimp for about 8 mins with lid to save moisture. I then add the noodles and mix in really good to soak the flavor. YOU HAVE TO WATCH COOKING THE NOODLES TO LONG OR THEY WILL TURN TO MUSH. 2-3 mins I usually cook mine for. And keep stirring.

I was able to have shrimp one month post op and honestly that was the one meat I could tolerate. Nothing else agreed with me for another two weeks after that. Now I'm allowed anything. But I always eat my Protein first. Usually I don't have room for much else.

dont cook it so long. It doesn't take much to soften it like noodles. It turns to mush very easily.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
