I just threw a napkin at my husband :(

Laura, break up the Easter Egg and have a little piece every now and then and don't feel guilty! As long as you don't eat it in one hit there's no need to feel guilt and sometimes just that little piece is enough to get it out of your head.

I recent that!!! what you got against pork? You Jewish or something? I kid that's good that you spent time with them and didn't let food win

Ha! Why bother with a pork bun when there are yummy things like fish paste dumplings and BBQ chicken feet!

But really the pork bun would of been too filling and I wanted a bit of everything :D

Oh Aussie, I wish my head worked that way!

But at the moment I have to admit I'm not that strong... I would of eaten it all in one hit :P

No worries though, my gracious husband took care of the offending egg yesterday :D

My husband is very supportive. BUT...sometimes he needs to think before he speaks!!! He swears I'm going to have a terrible sprain of my middle finger! LOL

If I had a nickle for every time I "sprained my middle finger" at the stb-ex, I would have been able to pay cash for my surgery....

See.. right there I disagree..you are that strong, you didn't eat it. You wanted it, but you held back. Looks like strength to me. Look, there's not a day that goes by that even after 20 years, I don't think that I couldn't easily slide back into my old lifestyle. I don't mean food wise either. But I use that as my strength. I know its out there, I know it isn't any problem at all to obtain and no one would ever really know..but I know, and I know that I (we) deserve better. Is it hard?, oh hell yeah, but can you beat it... yep you can. You aren't too far from where you want to be, and I wouldn't be stupid enough to blow smoke up your bloomers and tell you that it is all easypeasy, but you've come far and you are almost there. You are strong or you wouldn't have gotten this far now would you? Yep family doesn't get it, husband (or my stb-ex) isn't as supportive as we'd like sometimes. Speed bumps....don't let them drive the bus, you drive it...no one is really going to understand, because they don't live with it every day. You know you can do this.... :)

Ok John,

Usually I hate being wrong.. But in this case I will concede and say you are right. It wasn't pretty but I did do it!.

We are getting there though aren't we John? :)

Oh and by the way I stopped wearing bloomers

Several months ago and I am proudly wearing regular girls panties now :P

Can you guys keep a secret??? After to talking to John up there I was walking past the hall upstairs and I have a growing pile of clothes that are meant to be thrown out. I pulled out from that pile a pair of pants that I wore before the surgery

And put them on:D I'm glad I didn't eat that stupid egg!! Then I put on my newest jeans after:D yes f**k that egg!

You look fantastic!!

And since I'm not willing to put into writing the variety and weight of things that I have thrown at my (very supportive) husband in the last 3 days since starting my liquid diet, I will simply say, I understand. :)

If I had a dollar for everytime I threw something at my husband I could have self paid for my surgery without blinking an eye... I am over exagerating but you get the point... My darling husband (supportive as he is) has a VERY hard time thinking before he speaks... He makes me NUTS!

Luckily it was only a napkin!... I think my husband would be happy with a napkin!

Actingnurse,

I love you dude. But I gotta tell you when you find the right girl, you will know why!

Marriage when entered into with with a loving commitment is a wonderful thing!

Yes I got upset the other day, but we are committed to love and respect each other and we are so lucky to have this person at our side as we go through all of life's changes!

It's really a great concept if you think about it, I think its so cool to live side by side and experience life with another person up until the end :)

Yes I know I threw a napkin :P but that was a baby tantrum because I wanted to cheat (myself)

      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!
