Cheese Cake



Recommended Posts

Try taking equal amounts of cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and cream cheese (all low fat of couse) and a "dallop" of low fat sour cream or lemon flavored yogurt. Add some sweetner of your choice (I like Nectresse - it's natural and has the consistency and flavor of sugar). Add a few drops of lemon juice and a bit of lemon zest. Blend until smooth. Eat "as is" during puree and soft/mushy stages; spread on graham crackers later. UMMM Good!

I take plain chobani & add sugar free Jello cheesecake. 1/2 a package. It thickens up & tastes just like cheesecake. Gives me 16 Protein. :-)

Done did it! Surgery done at 10. Had to stay in RR until 2 due to a bed shortage. I am in my room now, been sleeping since I got here. The Roxicat knocks me on my butt. Pain is ok. Just in upper left abdomen. Feels Like the stitches pain you get after running fast. Drinking 30 cc Water every 15 minutes while awake. No nausea at all. Exvept for the being so sleepy and the tolerable pain, i feel pretty good. So far so good !

Thank you for all your healing thought and prayers.

Just Do It!!!

Way to go! Best advice - WALK WALK WALK. And then walk some more. It helps so much with the gas pains - which helps with the left side pains, etc.

I know you'll do great!

Wow! I am touched. Thanks guys for your support. I continue to feel groggy. i am forgoing the pain meds until night time, because the dizziness is killing me. Leak test tomorrow (which is why I can't take more than 30 cc at a time. Walking the halls. The gas pain really is almost non existent, fleeting, mostly sore muscles. I am going to take a nap. Love you guys!

Just Do It!!!

      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!
