I confess:

1. I had lots of white wine on my 10-day vacation, enjoyed every bit of it and still lost two pounds.

2. That I still love cooking, maybe even more as I get to try new recipes, and my family is eating healthier as a result.

3. I got rid of nine bags of clothing that no longer fit and felt good about it! But, my closet looks a little pitiful. Thank goodness for Macy's big sales!

4. I ate more than a handful of sea salt and pepper rice crisps the other night and felt guilty for a nanosecond, until I realized that it really wasn't that bad of a cheat (and my first real cheat since surgery four months ago).

5. I wish I had this surgery years ago. -- I missed out on many experiences because I used my weight as an excuse.

6. I wish I were more into exercise. I go to the gym three days a week, feel great afterwards, but can't convince myself to go more.

7. I get jealous when I see others my same weight and height losing faster.

8. I haven't found a food yet I can't eat, but I still eat too fast.

9. I am becoming a shoe-aholic. I think my feet are as small as they are going to get so it's guilt-free shopping :-)

10. That having this surgery was the best decision I have ever made.

Here goes:

1) My marriage counselor has recommended that my husband and I separate. We had issues before surgery, but they don't seem to be getting better.

2) as a result, I am craving foods- like popcorn and Mac and cheese. I ate a few bites yesterday even though I felt full.

3) I haven't exercised yet- can't seem to put it into my routine.

4). I am afraid I will undo this sleeve if I'm not careful.

5). I am listening and singing along with ABBA right now. It's one of the first things that has made me smile in days (other than my kids)

I confess that I have a crush on my surgeon as well...and definitely gossiped with the nurses on the hospital post-op about how cute he is! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I hit on my surgeon right after surgery while I was still pretty medicated...he's married with 2 kids...and my dad was standing there...lol I think I win!!

I confess- the slow weight loss' date=' is because of confession 1 and 2.

I confess- I eat too fast, can't seem to make myself eat slow enough not to slime.

I confess- can't wait to be small and feel sexy again!

I confess:

I'm mourning my clothes too. Clothes shopping=no fun for me. I actually nervous about shopping for new one's' date=' smaller size or not. I'm also sad I'm 14 days post op & returned to work I'm my same ole size, like a 50lb miracle was supposed to happen in 14 days. Nevermind I've lost 19lbs.

I confess:

I'm afraid I'll never have another normal bowel movement again.

I confess:

I'm more obsessed w/what I put in my mouth & the scale in my bathroom more than I ever was before surgery.

I confess:

I'm so intimidated by food & nervous about feeling bad, I just don't care to branch out past my Protein drinks. I'm scared.

But I'm very grateful for the confessions, & all your honesty. This app & u guys are a HUGE help! <3[/quote']

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
