I left this site weeks ago because of how bitter and mean people were and I really don't want to leave again. I just don't understand how things get so ugly so fast.

However, you are back and that is good to hear. It is sad when people decide to leave because of some silly back and forth. We all need each other in one way or another. Everyone has an opinion that matters and we all share so many common experiences. Let's remember that. There is more positive on this site then negative, and the negative seems to be highly concentrated. There is no reason to let random strangers have such an impact on your day. You are all worth so much more then that!

Love the new pic fiddleman!

And now I'm sad! I got a lot out of reading comments left by lessofmeismore and moregoodtimes. I guess I don't blame them. But I still will miss both terribly! :(

Thanks MrsG.

Oh man, my wife got addicted to those. Be careful as too many of these could add up over the week. It looks like they are 170 cal for 1. Carbs, fat and Protein are each around 10 g. Do you like cool ranch or original (cheese) flavor?

I personally would not choose to eat these, but they are not that unwieldy in their nutritional stats.

I had a cool ranch flavor. I couldn't eat them every night but I felt okay after doing it. After the past six weeks I really thought I'd never be normal again.

I wonder about the pouch size, I'm 2 weeks post sleeve and was sick of liquids today and wanted to chew, I ate 8 Pringles. No problem and that is my problem. Why was I able to do that without any problems?

Pringles are a pretty tasty slider. They take up literally zero space once you have chewed them. However, do not get accustomed to eating sliders. They are going to be your vice post op if you are not careful. Instead, choose solid Proteins that are going to fill you up once you are cleared for solids.

...... Lol uh chips are sliders. And two weeks post up chips be a no no. Go to the search option and type in sliders. Chips won't fill your pouch at all.

      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.
