This illustrates why your numbers are so much better than mine. My "after" plate would have no veggies left, just one or two pieces of fish.

Mine would have been licked clean of every speck. :D :(

@GreenTealael Did you have any nausea after eating the fish filet? I struggle so with high fat meals, and I'm so chicken to try to eat a piece of fried fish. I can do oven-fried or air fried...but that looks delish! What was your experience mam?

No nausea and Fish was fine, not super oily but I havent has an issue with oil. But I did only eat one...

High refined sugar/carbs on the other hand (maybe higher than 10g) may do me in.

But I didnt like the onion rings so I didn't eat those and they were by far more oily.

Hope that helps

Thanks hon! Yes, it did help!! I might screw my courage up to try a filet or even half of one! I do miss the occasional fried fish or shrimp or small piece of fried chicken or a chicken wing...etc. Once a year would probably do it for me. :) It's thankfully not one of my triggers (yeah, I'm talking to you pasta!) hahaha

Glad you don't get ill feeling from it! It totes sucks about the carbs and 10g/meal limit on it. But yeah, I get it. For me it depends on where I get those 10g from. From a salad or veg? I'm probably ok. 10g from carrot cake would send me to the morgue. You know? Or make me wish I could go there.

Remind me...do you have your gallbladder?

TY!!!

I’ve found that I can do sugars okay, but thankfully I hardly ever want them. Things like mayo or too much heavy cream give me stomach cramps for hours. I haven’t had anything fried so far PO, and quite honestly very thought of it gives me the jitters 
And so far my gall bladder is just fine

      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!
