Ya HAH! Me too. I'm not a picky eater and don't have food issues other than I really, REALLY like it, the question that stopped me was: "How was your childhood? Relationship with your parents?"

I don't know how it was relevant, but my answer was: "GREAT! I had a pretty uneventful childhood." In actuality, it was a train wreck. I so didn't want to go there.

My answer to that question will be my childhood was a TRAIN WRECK but I'm in counseling for it. ;) and I LOOOVEE food too. Especially all the ones I'm not supposed to eat. But I WILL down play that. hahahaha

I confess that I am scared of turning into a snob

I think UI have turned into a bit of a health food, anti-sugar, anti-processed food, make it yourself from scratch snob.

Yesterday my family went to a Chinese place and they were ordering family style. They ordered orange chicken, lo-mein noodles, fried rice, kung pao chicken, crispy fried beef and egg rolls.

I told them I would have to either order the scallops and asparagus or the shrimp and snow peas. I saw the slight roll of the eyes. None of them eat seafood BTW. I have to admit that I was astounded at their selections - the very worst on the menu health-wise.

Yeah, I'm officially a snob.

OMG! I thought that I was the only one that went to the dark side! I have become such snob when it comes to eating now. I even get angry at my hubby for making bad choices at dinner and not wanting to share. I can't help (actually I don't want too). yayyyyyyyyyy! :)

I'm very judgmental of what others eat now. Sitting at a buffet disgusts me.

I am relieved to read that I am not alone!

They say ex smokers become the worst anti smoking critics and snobs so perhaps it is the same for ex fatties?

I'm on day 2 of my two week liquid pre-op diet and I was in an all day meeting at work where they brought in lunch. TORTURE. I ate 5 dry lettuce leaves and 3 chunks of chicken from the inside of a wrap.

Then 3 cups of chicken broth I brought from home.

I confess that I do compare my weight loss to others' on this site and get pissed off almost daily.

I confess that I bought a 4 pack of Moscato Rose this past weekend and drank them all in 2 days. (I'm still proud of myself though, because I used to buy the big bottles and have 3-4 glasses every day, before I had the surgery.)

I confess that I just cannot get motivated enough to exercise like I should.

I confess that I always look at myself when I pass a window at work because I can't believe how small I'm getting.

I confess that I still eat fast food a lot, I don't like to cook for only myself.

      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!
