Day 12 of liquid diet and almost killed someone at the movies last night



Recommended Posts

Listening to all of those people crunch on their popcorn while I drank my Vitamin Water zero was torture! What was I thinking by going to a movie?!? Good thing the movie was hilarious! Anyone else finding certain situations intolerable?

My husband wanted to go to movies and I didn't think I'd survive it so we stayed in. And I'm only on day 4 of 14 on liquid preop. At least your movie was funny enough to divert your focus.

Movies were major eating places for family and I. Major transgressors of theater policy, we emptied out the purses, (3 ladies in the family...makes for lots of room), and filled them up with various noshes at different times. Among our smugglings were dollar store junk (cheetos, candy bars, m&ms, nuts, chips, Jerky, etc.), fried chicken, sausage and cheese, Taco Bell stuff, Subway stuff, cans of pop, etc.

Now we go in with....water....maybe a Protein bar. Now we can concentrate on the movie..too bad most of them stink. :huh::D

They stink and are overpriced! LOL

Yes, I had more of an emotional reaction to people eating on my preop diet than any other time. Hang in there. It gets easier!

Wow...you were brave to go to a movie! I still haven't gone & I'm 6.5 weeks out! LOL! I **LOVE** popcorn so there's no way I can sit around that wonderful smell & not have some so looks like I'll be borrowing video's from the library a lot now! BTW, which movie did you see that was hilarious?

GMANBAT ~ your ladies took sausage & fried chicken into the movies in their purses or did I misunderstand you??? :lol:

I use to get really annoyed with my DH and a good friend of mine when eating. Gad they eat a lot of food and they just shovel the food into their mouths. I am totally aware that this is my problem so I have to use self talk and remind myself that I'm the one who is an anomaly here now......As far as popcorn, I might have a bite or two but that's it. I hate the chemical Syrup they call butter, it gave me a horrible Migraine once. :P

I took my littleboy to see despicable me 2 yesterday and bought him popcorn and Pepsi max I also had a couple of mini cheese crackers bags in my bag for him, I had a cup of tea, It doesnt bother me so much because its my littleman I took him to McDonald's after for a happy meal and again I had tea, I just figure there's no point avoiding these situations because you just gotta accept you, ve made a positive change to your eating and life goes on and I wont deprive my littleman the occasional treat.

I was so sick of staying in for 2 weeks in an effort to avoid food that I just needed to get out! We saw We Are the Millers. I thought it was hilarious but be warned its definitely a bit vulgar! ( I could see how some others may not be amused by it)

I'm on day 12 of a 37 day liquid pre op diet. It's been hard at first. I did cheat about 7 days ago. But each day is getting easier. 37 days is a long time for a liquid diet. I cook for my family and don't even think about food anymore.

This made me laugh out loud. Yes, I would empty the purse to and bring in all kinds of candy, mcdonalds, tacos, and coke. I never thought of fried chicken! That would have been yummy :) I have figured out that I should avoid the movies at all cost, that's why we got Netflix. Easier to drink my Water without the dark theater that hid my shameful eating for so long!

      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!
