Hope all is good, keep us posted.

As for this topic, I bite my tounge and try to keep it to myself. We all had a problem with food, hence the surgery. Making excuses as to why you ate something that you shouldnt and looking for people to say poor you is not going to come from me.

I guess I couldn't bite any longer.

There's nothing wrong with cheeseburgers, especially if you have them with some popcorn and wash them down with a nice cocktail.

Speaking of pop corn... Those of you who are father out... Is this something you can tolerate some of? I'm not a bi popcorn person but once in a while liked to have a handful or so. I was wondering about it lol. Thanks for reminding me.

I'm freaking myself out a little today bc I held up the corner of the mattress/box spring yesterday when the bf fixed a slat (2weeka post op). (held up not lifted) didn't think anything of it until this morning when I realized it was probably more than my 15 pound weight limit. Now I'm just waiting for some significant pain or something to indicate I jacked something up. I'm an idiot I know.

Yes, but it slides really easy meaning your sleeve will not feel restriction from eating it. I had a small popcorn at the theatre a month ago just to see if I could eat it. I could. The whole bag. And it was not even as good as I remembered it. At least I know now how easy it is to eat and, best of all, I don't like it all that much. Left me feeling nasty greasy on the inside too. I was chugging veggy drinks later that evening to detox it out of my body. That being said, I would still probably love pirates booty and caramel popcorn so am not going to eat those. Just my two bits on it.

This is the part I strggle with, too. Whatever I decide to do with regard to deviation (cheating sounds so ridiculous to me) from stage, I would never suggest to anyone - especially a newbie - that they follow my example. I could not live with myself if someone ate something because I said I did it and was fine only to learn that they suffered some complication later. Even if the two were totally unrelated I would feel terrible. I also don't jump on anyone for their choice. They make the choice - as do I - and they alone live with the consequences. That being said, God really does seem to take care of fools. A woman in my office had the bypass and ate fried cabbage and steak 8 days out from surgery. She also commenced smoking immediately and has returned to her regular Coke habit. She lives. And has lost at least 60 pounds. But I know that had I done any of those things, there would have been dire consequences. That is just the way it goes.

It's the telling the other people at the same stage.

"Go on its fine, look at me" that gets me because at the end of the day I don't care what you say WE ALL HAD A PROBLEM WITH food.

And we are still weak over the power we let it hold over us :(

Oh yeah then there is the death thing yeah?

popcorn. Once my lifeline. White popcorn popped on the stove the old fashion way. I am two months out and was cleared to have it. I have had it twice, and have been very careful, counting it as my meal. I am well aware, from numerous posts, that it slides down and can be a trigger. If you are a popcorn lover, just be aware of this and tread carefully. It tasted as good as ever. Ate slowly and savored every bite..... maybe two cups. Had no ill effects.

      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.
