Im waiting for that person who went on a rant about smoking to pop up and give lectures. ................. And..... They have electronic cigarrettes called blu, avail in drug stores. I never smoked cigs or pot so my addiction isnt severe. Good luck ladies :)

I know but they're just not as satisfying and some of them still have all the bad stuff in em! lol :)

I confess that at 7 weeks I feel as if I'm finally starting to get the hang of this. Then again, maybe not.

I confess that my husband has all of a sudden had a change of heart and thinks I'm the greatest thing in the world. My confession? The feeling isn't mutual. I've put up with this stuff for years now and I've reached my limit. I just have no idea what the next step is.

I confess that noticing (finally!) small changes are terrific motivators to keep going!

I confess to still drinking pickle juice almost daily.

I love the response to this thread I started - I have laughed so hard at the similarities we all share.

I have found a few more of my own -

folding my clothes is easier as they are so much smaller -

My feet have changed because my pressure points are all different - I have to go see a podiatrist today to have them check it - yuk

I love love love shopping for myself now.

I can borrow my sister's clothes and she has some nice ones.

I am a much happier person to be around.

Thanks to all of you - no one understands the little victories as we do for each other !

I confess:

1. I think about food constantly!

2. I want a frozen burrito I get from the store with sour cream, cheese, and hot sauce so bad I cant stand it!!

3. I miss being able to sit and eat a ton of any food I want and feeling totally satisfied after.

4. I started on soft foods yesterday and feel like I can eat way more than I should be able to and this surgery wont work.

5. I fear I will fail and stay fat and then not be able to eat the amounts I used to and be just as miserable as I am being fat.

6. I still wonder everyday if I made the right choice or should I have given "dieting" one last chance.

7. I am 15 days post op and have no trouble drinking liquids but still do not get even close to 64 ounces of Fluid a day much less Protein.

8. I hate Protein drinks!!

9. I fear when I lose weight I still wont have many friends and still have no love life and never have any of the dreams for my life come true.

      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!
