You're in good company. I wasn't trying to restrict calories when I ordered, I just liked the taste of diet coke! :lol:

Oh not me! When I go, I go for the gold!!! Big fat cheeseburger meal, large sized with a full sugar 32oz coke!!! Oh wow, can't even describe how much I don't miss that old life! Lol

Now you couldn't pay me to take a bite of that crap. I'm too afraid I'd want it all over again ;)

WHAT??? You mean that the acid in the Diet Coke doesn't burn off the calories from the dripping, double cheeseburger? That could explain the extra 80 lbs I was carting around, huh?

Years ago my favorite treat was a king size Snickers bar and a Diet Coke. This was after the extra large burger and fries. I have not had surgery yet, but I don't eat like that anymore. I gained all this weight eating much healthier. LOL

I was raised drinking Diet Coke, so truthfully, I was always that person, too ;) lol. The funny thing? I don't miss the crap food, but I'm sure I'll miss the Diet Coke!

maybe you won't, goirish, but I am not gonna lie to you...of all the things I miss, my beloved Diet Coke ranks way near the top...I know it wasn't healthy for me anyway, but sometimes there was nothing that would make me feel better than an ice-cold Diet Coke, preferably from the fountain and not out of a can or bottle (love my ice with it).

omg how I would love to eat that cheeseburger. I don't even care about the diet coke. Too bad I'd only be able to take 3 bites. I've come to the realization that it isn't worth my money to order food in a restaurant. I have tried and tried but simply cannot eat even half of whats on my plate.

Haha that was me too! I thought I missed diet coke too but after I drank some a while back I realized it does not taste good nor feel good in my new stomach.

agreed, sharon...but I just take the leftovers home and make another 1 and most times 2 meals out of it...I was never one to want to take leftovers home from a restaurant, even when I couldn't eat it all...but I have learned now that it is worth it

      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!
