Mine was free for the taking at my doctors office. I hope you didn't pay for this.

Wow, I checked the site she paid $55.00 for that.

I was going to go out and buy a toddler set of dishes and sippy cups but I would much rather have this. My Surgeons office is so patient unfriendly that I doubt if they had it they would give it out but I'm gonna wait before I shell out money for this.

Nice idea though.

Mine was just where we pick up our regular cups that he recommends we use. I just took the plate because that was all I was interested in. I didn't think I needed the bowl, etc.

Mmmmmmmmmmm well I ws happy with the set The Book and DVD alone are well worth the money very informative , and I do love the plate...

Also the $55.00 is Australian Dollars so I would think in UD $`s it would be about $38.00 also the plate and bowl can be bought seperatly or with out the Book..for a lot less...

I wish my Surgeon or Dietition would have handed them out free.. :unsure: Lucky you Pickles.. :cursing:

Goodnight all Hump Day here tomorrow..Have a Good Tuesday...

You rock girl. That is one sumptuous meal and great pics. too.

I am up at 2 AM -- couldn't sleep. Loose stools - yuk. Had my 2nd fill Monday and doing the POW diet for a couple days to adjust (Protein shake, broth, Jell-o, with a SF snack or two to keep from killing a family member or co-worker).

The dinner ware looks terrific; I have bookmarked the site for future use.

You are looking good. Keep it up.

Free? Wow! The only free stuff I got was a CD-ROM (cheesy marketing pitch mostly; would have liked a copy of Jurassic Park instead!) along with a spiral bound book on nutrition and hints about the post op phases of diets (which was cool).

I don't think I am ready to shell out 55 clams for a plate, bowl and book. Not that I am cheap I just find that ramkins, dessert plates and small cereal bowls work fine for me. I use a scale and measuring cups, too, so having a graduated bowl seems silly and that goofy plate with lines is over the top: I really am capable of dividing my plate with half Protein, one-quarter each of veggies and fruit. I mean how hard is that? Measured portions is the key but whatever floats your boat! If it works for her, great. I will spend my dough on foods I can eat and enjoy or maybe take in a movie . . . or get a new pair of slacks that fit me.

Time for me to sign off. I am making too many typos and spending too much time correcting this.

Blessings to all.

      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!
