240 calories of "empty" calories (320 minus the 80 from protein) is still pretty bad when you're getting around 1200 calories a day.

Never said it was good... simply that it was not a total "lose / lose" situation. Compared to every other pint of ice cream... it's a much better choice.

Thanks for mansplaining without providing any actual evidence. You were making a point about frozen foods losing Fiber benefits in the post I responded to -- not juicing, which can remove Fiber.

I actually made three separate posts and you've chosen to be aggrieved by one.

Dude, I am aggrieved by everything -- I've been on Clear Liquids for a week now! I'm hangry! ;-)

Is that what your plan recommends? It sounds soon to me for any solid food at all, never mind rice. At two weeks out, I was on liquids--didn't eat solid food until a month had passed. I know all plans are different . . .

I also wanted to disagree, politely, with the poster who said food should not be enjoyed, just seen as necessary fuel. It is fuel, certainly, but I don't see why enjoyment of the food I'm supposed to be eating is wrong. I like Cookies and know I shouldn't be eating them, but I also like cottage cheese! I enjoy eggs. As long as I'm having one or two, without the side of fried potatoes, for example, what's wrong with enjoying that? After months of not caring if I ate or not, other than the need to get Protein, I'm kind of happy to be enjoying my small, appropriately chosen meals.

Other than some sugar-free fudgesicles after surgery, I haven't had ice cream--but then, it's a big 33 degrees F here today, about as toasty as it's been for many months, and for me ice cream is definitely a warm weather treat. Fortunately, I like those fudgesicles, too.

Hey.

In Sweden one of the 21 countys pay for the surgery. My county says it is okey to start with soft food day 2 after surgery.

      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.

      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!
