Hello everyone, just joined this group and am excited! I just had my sleeve surgery 8/29 and I feel starved. I drink 3 Protein Shakes a day and drink a lot of Water. My recommended foods said blenderized lentil, pea or butternut squash Soup. I fee like that will make me even more gassy. Any recommendations that worked for others?

I did split pea, butternut squash and Tomato bisque. I did have to blend it however.

i also made a vegetable Soup. Bone Broth base, then steamed some carrots and tomatoes and put it in my blendtec blender on soup mode.

I think the Premier Protein shakes & yogurt gave me crazy gas too! Hopefully I will be able to eat/drink later : ( I do have butternut squash I will try shortly.

I mostly did Protein Drinks, watered yogurt down with Fairlife Milk and used different flavors to add punch to it. I did some butternut squash Soup, some Tomato Soup (too acidy for me at first), and a ton of broth and cream of chicken and cream of mushroom Soups. I also did won ton soup without the noodles--just broth from a Chinese food place.

I'd mix in Protein (unflavored) into all my soups while it was cold then gently heated it to no more than 140 cuz I didn't like when the protein clumped when it got too hot.

I did not do well with the bean soups/pea soups. Gassy but also carby and that made me hungry.

Then SF popsicles and sf Jello.

Oh and I did a ton of Decaf coffee with my protein drinks in it as both hot and cold (iced) lattes and blended frappacinos.

Yuck I could not even look at another Protein Shake post op because I had so many pre-op leading to my surgery. Not that its not good for you of course do not get me wrong! I know it is highly recommended but if you can stomach it good luck because I could not!! I just had a lot of sugar free Jello and Tomato Soup. Pretty much all liquid based. I really could not even eat all of that I would get full so quickly. My first month food was pretty much non existent to me. I don't think I could look at sugar free jello ever the same way again :D

      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
