I have my operation this coming Thursday. Right now I am doing a lot of eating for the memories. It is kinda like I am on vacation and will start work next week. I want to get all the good stuff in that I can.

I am supposed to eat low fat cottage cheese and yoghurt for one week prior to the op. This is gonna work out okay because I just ate the last of the President's Choice icecream, and the high-fat cheese last night. (I am a dairy freak by the way.) They didn't give me any other instructions. Tonight, I plan to eat 2 filet mignons. I am defrosting them right now. I will also eat diced new potatoes, with their tender little skins left on, sauteed in olive oil with fresh rosemary, hot peppers, and onions. And I might have a beefsteak Tomato as well.

Yup, I know, I know, all of you hate me right now but the reason that I am racking up the ole food memories is because I will be living on liquids for 3 weeks, mushies following that, and after that will be a whole new way of eating solids. This is Green's good-bye tour around the food court. It's strange, you know, but along with the rebirth that the band will give me, and I know that it will, I am feeling that a little part of me is dying.:think It is for this reason, I guess, that I find that I am being super attentive to what's on my plate.:hungry:

But there will be the new slender Green, and I am so anxious to say good bye to quite a few pounds of the old Green, so everything is gonna be coool. (I just hope I don't ever get the slimies.:phanvan Yuck!)

Enjoy your filet tonight, eat all the things you love, you can stuff yourself, but when you do, remember that stuffed feeling, "like your the fullest person in the world stuffed", and know that you will never feel that horrible feeling again, and you'll still be eating that filet in a few months from now. How neat is that!!

That is seriously cool. Very seriously cool.

My niece who is 30 and a big grrl is interested in what I am doing. Once she gets the dollars together she would like to do the same thing. She is the only one who is supportive other than my husband, and he always supports my schemes. I haven't told him about my post-op diet yet. Heh heh. That boy is going to get quite a shock when he sees me sucking back liquids and nothing but.

      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!
