My confessions....

I confess that I have a cherry dr pepper once a day...every day...takes all day to drink it, but I get it done.

....that I dont get all my Protein or Water in...and I dont try

....that at times I really wish I had my whole stomach back so I can finish a sandwich.

.... I get extremely irritated with the people on the blog that gets so upset at the thought of a donut or a cookie... I never intended to give up my favorite foods just to limit my consumption.

.... And finally I confess I love absolutely love this site since Fishy was banned!!

I'm four months out and I confess:

1. That I love my sleeve and I love being down 4 sizes!

2. That I have been very moody at times with my hubby and kids, and then it makes me mad when they look at me like I'm crazy!

3. That I drink coffee on the weekends!

4. That I do not exercise as much as I should.

5. That I'm obesessed with tracking in myfitnesspal and what the scale says!

6. That I know I talk about my food, what is healthy to eat, stalls, Water, Protein, too much with people who have not had surgery, i.e. friends, family and at work and I have to tell myslef to just stop!

7. That when we are out to eat and I look at what other people have on their plates it grosses me out!

8. That this is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

He was a rotten person who was super rude to everyone. Nothing he posted was helpful or constructive. A slew of people reported him and he got kicked out

I confess that I'm having a really bad day and am going to confess my negative thoughts.

I confess that it really ticks me off that I have to count and track everything I put in my mouth, thats what I hatred about dieting before surgery

I confess that it really ticks me off that I'm only a month out and an in my second stall, what gives?!

I confess that I want to stuff my face with a sackful of Krystal burgers, large chili cheese fries, and a large coke and it ticks me off that I can't

I confess that I thank God that I can't stuff my face anymore

I confess that it's 'that' time of the month and I realize that's where these feelings are stemming from

Ok, thx, I feel better

So don't...

I don't. It would drive me insane, and I have no intention of (hopefully) living another 50 years and having to count everything that goes in my mouth. :)

Yeah, I'm not good at it and have tried all the different websites and bought journals that are supposed to make it easy but blah. I've been trying because everyone says to track it, up Proteins, up Water, lower carbs, etc to break a stall. But dang, I lost weight before surgery doing all that without having these stupid stalls. Frustrating!

      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!
