Ms.Okie Dokie....

15 lbs seems like a lot to lose in 4 weeks since you've already lost so much. Have you asked what will happen if your surgery date comes and you haven't lost enough?

You mentioned Medifast-type diet. I think that's great, and if you get hungry help yourself to a couple more shakes. What is it, like 90 calories? Better to "pig out" on extra Protein shakes than the other crap.

...who is really not the best to give advice as she is having food funerals every day until starting the preop diet March 23.

Pre-op starts tomorrow! Had my final meal today, it was good but once again I know why I'm having this surgery.

After eating what I are tonight, and the way I feel now, it's worth it. I ate more than I should've and now I feel like crap. Like always after eating.

One thing I've learned about my food addiction is, like a lot of us "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP".

The only thing I really pigged out on is Pasta being my comfort food for life, however I think I am done with it now. The biggest thing for me to give up is going to be diet coke. I gained 1 1/2 pounds but i am sure i will lose it in the next 6 days.

I am rooting for you all - I hope you get the same satisfaction feeling fantastic post-op with very tiny meals as you do with the big ones.

I don't feel like I'm deprived at all and the weight is just flying off me (almost too fast).

Very excited for you all :)

I'm on day#3 of my early-starting preop diet. I was sick of the constant binging...the last "meal" I had was a big order of wings and washed it down with a pint if coffee ice cream. I totally felt like crap and then went on a Protein shake diet.

The first day was tough, but then ketosis kicked in and I'M NOT HUNGREY! It actually feels great. And I'm finally getting my Water in (thanks for the prompts, cindysc).

Surgery date is the 29th...gettin excited!

My doctor or Nutritionist didn't put me on a pre op diet only thing they said was give up my favorite drink in the whole world (diet coke) that was the hardest for me. Not having a pre op diet worked for me because I had a very smooth surgery was back to work 3 days later. I am 8 weeks out and down 47lbs.

      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!
