Gosh I am really happy to see this thread. I was feeling bad about my day.

1 lala yogurt smoothie

1 laughing cow cheese wedge

2 Diet Snapples

1 Greek yogurt

1cup imitation crab

3 tbsp cocktail sauce

:( 2 servings of chocolate chips :( :(

And OMG my little brother cooked me an awesome dinner

3/4 Pan seared chicken breast

1 cup Pasta

1 1/2 cup alfredo sauce with mushrooms and spinach

Not as bad as it could have been but my dinner servings were way too big. I was full and I knew it but I kept going back and taking more bites. Now I don't feel so great.

My day wasn't as tasty as you guys. I had 3 Protein Shakes and a couple of Crystal Lights.

I started the day with my usual Protein smoothie.< /p>

Then 1 can of Soup for lunch.

After that I did not eat anything for the rest of the day.

We were at a cookout where I had maybe 3 beers, and when I drink beer I NEVER have any food with or around it.

I did have a Protein shot in the evening to get my daily requirement.

I went to a picnic with 100 other folks and each brought a dish to pass main dish was a cheese burger. So I am in line and there is this mile long trail of food and the more I looked at it the less it appealed to me.I took a teaspoon of potato salad tbls of baked Beans , and a small spoon of snicker bar salad . AS I was walking to my seat someone said is that all you are eating?? THe dessert table was beyond huge and I never gave it more then a glance when I went back nothing jumped out at me so I passed it up.

NOw before you all hate on me .. there was a time I would have tried everything and as I sat there watching everyone elses full plates I just was so happy that I was so thrilled with the taste of that cheese burger no bun. IN the old days when my plate would have been filled to capacity I wouldn't have savored the taste of anything it would have all just blended together . And I would have spent the afternoon groaning and stuffed fat and guilty.

Let me tell you nothing on that table tasted as good , as being thin feels.

I am not a calorie counter, I eat what I know will go down and I enjoy what I like but you know in the long run it's just food... And there is so much more to life then just your next meal......

Wow... some of you guys eat barely anything at all! :blink: I had a really good day and resisted all the yummy temptations at my BBQ. We had Cookies, potato salad, macaroni salad, pulled pork... so much sugar and carbs. Ack!

My Day:

B: Protein shake

L: 1/2 burger (sans bun) w/ pepperjack cheese & side strawberry spinach salad

D: leftover from BBQ... only difference was I had a full burger instead of a half

And the Cookies and chips are all sitting on my countertop mocking me right now. Evil evil. Lol. :rolleyes:

Mind you, I have not had a fill yet, so I was more open than most.. you guys all did really great!

I had no Breakfast (I know bad... I need to break that habit!)

Lunch: a few roasted Littleneck clams

Dinner: 2 small chunks of chicken off of a skewer with a grilled piece of pepper and onion, 2tbspn of cole slaw, 2tbspn of potato salad

Dessert: one cheesecake filled fresh strawberry

and I was full! I have no restriction yet, so this is great for me. I would have been able to eat all those clams and at least one if not one and a half, skewers of food!

Oh wait, cannot forget the glass of pineapple lemonade sangria! It was good!! Water after that though

It was a holiday - I ate what I wanted.

Half a pulled pork sandwich, some baked Beans, some veggie salad, couple wings, and maybe a couple others things. Definitely less than everyone else, though. But I was satisfied. Oh... and monkey bread.< /p>

And drank sangria.

      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!
