PEOPLE WHO ONLY DID 3 day liquid pre op diet



Recommended Posts

Yup, but in this case we did manage to resolve it ourselves. At least until someone decided that us higher BMI sorts should now be attacked en masse, regardless of our defense of our lower BMI siblings' rights to treat their weight issues, too...

:P Nah, too busy ordering Protein Shake samples to start testing to actually get testy over a couple of over-the-top statements someone made in righteous anger because of a couple other people's stupid statements. It's all good.

(LisaLoseAlotx2, I am just teasing, truly! I get why it upset you, just think you didn't think about the scope of what you said when you first posted :) )

En masse or en massive? ;-)

I am a high BMIer too. And I was hovering around 400 lbs.

Holy crap on a cracker! I don't do drugs, but am actively seeking out a valium after reading this thread.

I have three things to say:

1) Glad to see things have worked out. Newcomers to the thread, please don't resurrect the bad feelings which occurred at the start of this thread, and fortunately have since been worked out.

2) If I had known about the sleeve when I was at a 30 BMI, you can bet your booty I would have had it done. I knew my eating was out of control back then, I knew regular "diets" didn't work for me and it would have saved me years of heartache and health problems.

3) Surgeons in Mexico are just as qualified, if not more so, than those in the US. There are good and bad ones, just like here in the US. The key is to do your research. As long as you have done so, you will be fine.

I had to stop reading by page 7

This did nothing but prove to me that fat (I mean seriously obese) people have some bigger issues than those of us with lower BMI's. Just the idea that anyone would hijack Rollargirls thread and call her a b*tch and telling her she needs mental help is absolutely disgusting.

I have also witnessed first hand some of the more obese women attempting to bully me on this site with snarky' date=' rude "I know more than you" attitudes. Bleck.

I would hope that anyone over a 40 BMI would get their own line of mental help for why they ate themselves into oblivion. While a few of us are struggling at the 200 lb mark, we sure didn't AVOID the inevitable by allowing ourselves to get to 300, 400 or 500 lbs.

I am with Aphrodite...this thread needs to be buried very deep and a bonfire started on top.[/quote']

Thanks for belittling and insulting all of us who ever reached 300+ lbs. Just what we need - yet another person pointing out how fat we "allowed ourselves" to become. As one of the "more obese" women on here who has never bullied or been "snarky" toward anyone on this site, I am so delighted that you decided to spew your venom upon me.

I did take the time to read the entire thread. If you had bothered, maybe you would have seen that things had been resolved, and it was unneccessary to add further hurtful comments.

I agree with you. That comment was way out of line. Let's let this thread die.

I'm kinda reminded about a scene from "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?"

The quote that comes to mind is: " I slaughtered this horse last Tuesday. I think it's startin' to turn."

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
