Hey i was just reading over the blog! Thanks for the list on when everyone's surgery day is that is wonderful. I initially was scheduled for june 4th then my dr had a emergency and it got moved 5 days before my surgery. I was so sad but what can you do right. Well i ended up having my surgery on june 11th. It went great and i feel good. I have started pureed diet today and was abke to have scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, and chicken pureed. They were amazing. Went and seen my dietitian today and i am down 30 pounds since i started the whole process last november. 10 pounds on supervised diet, 15 pounds on liquid diet, and 5 pounds post-op. I feel great. Good luck to all the june bandsters as well!

My surgery is tomorrow. Clear liquid diet all day today. I thought I'd have a hard time cooking Breakfast for the kiddos, but so far I'm totally fine. I've lost 6 pounds since Sunday on Protein Shakes and a light meal. Hope to keep that ball rollin'!!!

Hope all the June Bandsters are still doing well...and those waiting, good luck! I'm scheduled for tomorrow so super excited! How long did you all take off work? I didn't want work to know so I've just taken off tomorrow and Friday, going back Monday to my desk job. If I don't feel too well I figure I can take Monday and/or Tuesday and then Wednesdays and Thursdays I work from home.

Congrats and good luck everyone...

Day 14 of a 21 day shake diet...I think I might ascend to a higher plane soon. Has anybody else ever heard of a 21 day pre-op diet???

Also, I'm baking an enormo kid's birthday cake today, to be shaped like a purple hippo. Groaaaan.

Repeat after me, "Christine, you will NOT lick any spoons or taste any single thing. You already know the flavour since you have made all these thigns a million times."

      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!
