What was your daily menu? I'm having a hard time choosing what to eat that my stomach can tolerate so I can get that much in.

My menu is all over the map, but I try to have four or five 200-250 calorie meals a day with a couple of Snacks thrown in.

I got a new one before surgery, I didn't own one before that, I think I may have banned them from the house subconsciously before ;-) I only lost a pound and a half last week so I hope I have a good weight loss this week. I've up'd my fluids and constantly sip cordial (sugar free) all day and have a cup of tea a few times. I am still dehydrated at the moment as I can tell from my skin and energy levels are low. Hopefully this constant sips will help :-)

How far out are you? I want to start Zimbabwe again but idk if I've waited long enough

My doc said walk only, no zumba or other core exercising that will cause me to twist my abdomen area for 6 weeks.

I have the same problem with the scales at work. When I weighed on Monday it said I gained 6 pounds. When I used the other one I had lost 5.5 pounds

I just went out for my first long walk since surgery. I posted it on mmw. It was beautiful outside. I would have been doing this earlier. I live by a national park and they have been having controlled burns and burning red cedar....not good for walking outside. 1.30 miles in 22 mins....love the mmw app.

      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!
