Finally mustered up the courage to write that letter to my insurance about plastics. Now it's wait and see.
I'm sick today. Diarrhea, stomach ache, eyes slightly burning, feeling a bit sub-febrile, being cold all day. Went to the doctor's and got a sick leave until Thursday. Seems kind of silly during vacation but one gets the vacation days back later.

Thank you. I hope I won't have to be a self-pay (though chances are high that I will be, unfortunately). Anyway, I guess it's worth it.
I'm way more afraid of plastics than I was of every other surgery I ever had. Longer surgery time only being one factor. Wound healing another one. And let's not talk about general anesthesia.
Guess I've seen too much complications over the years that are related to whatever-surgery.

GL, I feel like a hammer has hit me on the head. Sunday's 24 h shift was beyond awful and one day of recovery is not nearly enough. I hate that jet lag feeling I often have after these shifts. Everyone deals with it but I doubt something's going to change.
I'm leaving at the end of December. No more of this **** after that. Time to bring in the new **** then though, lol.

Yes, I resigned today but even given the fact that everyone knew I would only be a 3-year add on and given the fact that I'm staying 3 months longer than originally planned... it was still a weird feeling to hand in that piece of paper this morning.
I will miss quite a few people a lot.

"Leisure time" is getting more and more scarce lately as it seems somehow. Too often too tired from being on-call andΒ I definitely need to start studying for my second board certification and there will be some rough times ahead I guess.
Going to bed soon. The work day after a 24 h shift always feels awful (like jet lag)Β so I better get to sleep soon to get my zzZZZzz in because I'm being on-call again tomorrow evening/night. Who else hates vacation time when half the department seems to be on holiday?
I have a follow-up appointment on Friday so I took Friday off. Also not working on the weekend and being on late shift next Monday. That means three days in a row without an alarm clock, lol.

Binge eating before sugery?Β
I'm having sleeve done on the 6th. I'm stuffing my face with every kind of food imaginable . Any one else having this issue? Is this a part of prepairing for what to come?

Finally two weeks off! Going on vacation this night!
-
Yay! Finally hit onederland! My weight loss was stalled for a couple of weeks but the last week or so it has been moving again. Because I'm tracking in kilos I didn't actually realize that I am now under 200 pounds. I'm so happy! Next goal to hit, probably this week, is for my BMI to hit the lowest obesity level (class I). After that I'll be gunning for just overweight, but that probably won't happen until summer, provided I can keep from snacking during all this working from home!
-
Had an awful early dumping today. Mean thing about this: it was the same food combo I ate yesterday without problems.

I know. I don't agree with him in quite a few things. However, I don't agree with other WLS surgeons on youtube on everything they say. Weiner and Rutledge have good videos out there as well but I don't agree with everything as well.
With this maintenance thing - Β in the end he talks about framing in a way. Reframe your thoughts and the world will change.
LOL about the broken clock. π€£

I think he has some good videos out there. I don't agree with everything he says but I agree with some things he says in his videos.
It made me ask myself the question though what I really think about "maintenance" or "maintenance mode" and fact seems to be that I never thought much about this. It just happened somehow. I never entered "maintenance" actively or something like that.
However, what I wholeheartedly agree with is what he says about "staying skinny", beginning at about 8:30 min, 11:30 min or 13:30 min in the video. I don't think it's actually that hard and not this "daily struggle". It needs vigilance, yes, but show me a person beyond the age of 35 or 40 that doesn't need that vigilance.
Most people need to exert some kind of effort to maintain a normal weight once they reached a certain age, WLS or not, and that's that. In the end it's as hard as you think it is.

Video chatting with the husband and dog. Social distancing stinks. We still don't know how we're going to handleΒ the situation with him being a high risk person and me being a person with at high risk for infection.

Everyone doing ok? I'm trying to stay safe by staying home (noΒ choice π₯)

Mostly alright. Of course we're scared about COVID and we're getting more and more patients that tested positive.
It's kind of draining to see only the severe cases. It kind of makes you blind to the milder cases that never show up at the hospital and in the end that's the majority of SARS-CoV-2-positive people.

Did my weekly weigh in this morning and am a little disappointed that the scale has not budged since last week. However, I am focusing on the fact that I'm sticking to my plan and that I can see that I'm losing weight, not only in my face, but in how my clothes fit. Guess I'll be using the quarantine to do a big purge in my closet!

I guess I'm being a bit silly with my wounds this time.
The slightest twinge and I think "OMG, something is not ok!!"
I press into the abdomen because I simply forgot I'm not supposed to and it's likeΒ "OMG, I'm going to get another hernia!! I'm sure something's not ok right now"
I cough or sneeze which still hurts the abdominal wall a bitΒ and think "OMG, I'm going to get another hernia, something just broke inside!!
*sigh*
I can't remember it being like this the last two times.

Since yesterday I crave sweet stuff. Luckily most of the protein stuff comes sweet. It's kind of interesting because the days before I craved more salty stuff.
-
I'm neither. I eat mostly plant based except the occasional egg, tuna or salmon. But mind you, good tuna steak or wild salmon are either hard to get in my part of the country and/or really expensive so it's more like a treat than regular food.
With eggs it's a little bit like that I crave them sometimes, have hard boiled egg, scrambled egg, fried egg etc. and then I don't want to eat them for like a month or so.
I can't have dairy though. I usually use soy as replacement. Tastes best to me. I don't like the almond or oat stuff.

Has anyone figured out how to change their current weight on the new setup?
