Had a chicken mayo from macdonalds yesterday only managed 1/2 binned the other half totally stuffed ever since not been able to eat without wanting to be sick as I type just had lunch sitting in a training course in Glasgow had some Pasta and honestly want to hurl hope I've not broken anything :-(

Lots of people can't tolerate Pasta. Nothings broken, have a hurl and you will feel better. Or go for a walk, that helps too.

Normal weight people deal with their food choices daily. Unlike us fatties who generally follow the "go big or go home" mantra, people who keep their weight normal have a cheeseburger once in awhile but don't make it a habit or they don't supersize it or skip the milkshake.

One of the reasons I got this done was to relearn that balance I had before. I can have a cheeseburger. I just have to make adjustments to my activity or eating to make up for it. Unfortunately, so many of us have dieted for so long that we have gotten in the habit of on the wagon off the wagon so we're either strictly dieting or eating out of control.

IMO, you can't break that cycle if you have a bunch of "never agains".

i am always surprised when a thread posted someone off that isn't meant to offend....i appreciate honesty and openness.....are we supposed to just write about the good stuff? for the original post....be careful..... i think everything in moderation. hopefully the sleeve can give you the strength to indulge once in a while and not too much.

Anyone who eats a cheeseburger needs to wear a Scarlett letter 'C' on the chest for everyone to know. The shame! The shame! Lol.

I'm 8 months out and I do still track everything in MFP. But that is because I am still 10 lbs to goal. I have changed my eating habits completely, but I don't stress if I'm out to eat at somewhere like a hamburger place. I just pick the best thing I can off the menu. A few weeks ago with co-workers I just had a jr burger at Mooya and it was wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun. I ate 1/2 and was done. Not something I would do every day or once a week, but I just logged it in MFP and it was fine! If I'm at home and cooking my family hamburgers I just cook myself a jenni-o turkey patty with a little mozzarella cheese on top and go with it!

      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.

      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!
