Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I never thought being home could feel so good.

We got in about 1:00 a.m. We had a good time. I had a lot of trouble eating because #1 they eat absolutely nothing healthy so I lived on Protein Bars, and meat. I was able to eat some stuff on Thanksgiving, and it all tasted so good.

All in all it was good trip, but we won't be going back for quite some time.

John made me step on the scale when got home this morning, and I dropped 6 pounds while we were there. I guess it's a positive to an extent. I tried to eat, and make good choices. But, when everything they cook is fried in bacon fat or Crisco, it makes it a little difficult. Luckily, I was smart enough to take Protein Bars, and stopped off and bought yogurt, and other things I could tolerate.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. I'm trying to get caught up with everyone. It seems like I've been gone forever with all the new members, and new posts. I also see a lot of people had surgery this last week, and hope you are all doing well.

Welcome Home Tiffy!

I can't remember if you left before or after my gall bladder surgery.

I lost my appetite after surgery and managed to lose 6 lbs. Two more lbs and I will have lost 100.

I hope you had a good time in spite of all the fried food. I've been putting unflavored Protein powder in my Greek yogurt and getting in a little extra Protein that way.

Glad youhad a safe trip. Bonus about the -6lbs.WOW. I thought we stopped loosing that much in one week after the 2nd month.

I lost 1 lb.I weighed on Wed and then again on Fri. Honestly, the normal binge foods just did not taste that good to me. I litteraly had one bite of pumpkin pie. I am back to drinking coffee again. I use FF hazelnut Creamer. I only get a half cup down now before it gets cold. I could not drink the wine they gave me. I tried, 2 sips, just did not go down well. Hubby saved me, he drank it. lol. Hope everyone did well over T day. glad you are back Tif.

It was the weirdest thing that I just looked at all that greasy, fried food, and was so "turned off". By the 3rd day, Caysen was asking for a simple bowl of Corn Flakes with a splenda packet because he couldn't had all the ickiness.

I have my 6 month follow up in December, and I know I'm going to be "in trouble" with my surgeon because of my loss, but I promise I haven't been the best sleeve patient in attempts to get my loss to slow down.

I had gotten it slowed down to an average of 2.5lbs per week this last month, and then BAM this happened. I hope me getting back to the gym this week that will help slow it down. If I make goal by the first of the year, I'm going to get a good long lecture from the dietician and surgeon.

      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!
