I wonder if he knows this time the weight will stay off and you will get to a healthy and attractive weight at the same time. The thought of dieting is always knowing in the back of your mind that it will eventually come back. The thought of surgery is the odds are it won't ever come back. This is probably a worry for him. Your changing your lifestyle so he is worried he will be one of the things that are changed. That is my psychological advice and thought for the day thank you lol :)

It is official I have eaten everything I can get my hands on but it might be for the best. I am so sick of food that the thought of eating now makes me feel sick. This could be a good start to a preop diet with little food. I do not want to eat anything else I am done. I am miserable and I do not like lol.

BMJ were you still hungry after surgery? I sure hope I am not hungry at all.

To be honest right after surgery I was starving, I was on Clear liquids for 1 wk and thought I was going to die, but I made it and did not cheat I thought for a second my dr. didnt remove enough of my stomach or something i had no feeling of fullness just an empty hungry feeling so it was hell in my opinion, but after that the second week i moved up to pureed foods which i really didnt puree i just chewed really well and found out the hard way I have a new stomach couldnt even eat a whole scrambled egg after that I've been fine ever since!

Wow that is scary. I do not want to be hungry and starving after surgery. I hope the wanting feeling goes away. That would be pure hell to be so hungry. I am so glad you are doing well now though. Good luck with the weight loss and I hope it keeps falling off.

I know you've probably heard this a thousand times, but it gets easier about the 3rd or 4th day. It's still the hardest part of this whole surgery process. If you can make it through that, the rest is easy.

It took nine days for it to get easier for me. I had a complete meltdown on day 9....then calm.....everything's been good since that day.

A friend of mine who recently had sleeve surgery called it her food bucket list. I hadn't really thought of that and didn't think I wanted to go that route because eating has not been a friend to me....but I did find a week or so ago that I bought a couple things to eat that I would never have allowed myself before. I guess it's part of the process.

Yeah I called it food funerals. It was kind of liberating though because I could actually eat something without the guilt behind it. Then it just became to much then I still felt guilty.

      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!
