@*susan* your right!

If I offended, I am very sorry.

It's true, we are all entiled to our opinions.

If the poster feels it's stupid, then that's fine.

We are all just trying to improve and lose weight, but with that comes modification of our old habits. People ask me all the time if the weight"just falls off". No it really doesn't just fall off, I have to make better choices in food and exercise. Again Im sorry if I used a term that wasn't kind, I really love VST and all the good folks here!! Let's all help one another

Who knows if he broke a rule on this thread or another. The point is, this thread is no longer relevant.

I have to say we are all adults! But this man or woman is going through something! Maybe he is alone and frustrated! We all get there at one point, it's common to have emotional roller coaster with the sleeve! And I have to say as a self paying I did a lot of research before surgery however I had no idea about diet when I started, I am learning along the way, my doctor gave me a piece of paper that had some guidelines on it! However that doesn't help with recipes! Everyone that has put this individual down should be ashamed of themselves and needs to be adult enough to apologize! We do not have all the facts and no one on this forum should be judge especially this harshly! We are here to help each other not judge! He/she was venting and we all have vented on here before! Instead of positive feed back I read a lot of negative and name calling, that's no way to treat anyone! We are all here to help each other! My mom taught me growing up if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything! So keep that in mind before you post ugliness! I feel bad for this person, and I can relate! As for burgers he's far enough out that a couple bites isn't going to kill him, maybe where ever he was at that's all there was! But if he needs or wants any advise I would be Happy to give it!

The point people are making with what you are referring to ugliness is that he came here looking for advice/ support, but all he really seems to want is a "free pass" that what he is doing to his body so soon out from surgery. For the most part people on this forum do not respond kindly to people who show such total disregard in this manner. His egotistical responses about being a medical student, refusing to acknowledge his responsibility in this process just makes it pretty clear he has no clue what he signed up for in having this surgery. It's a real shame, it really is.

      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
