Well my November buddies' date=' I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow (Monday) and I'm kinda scared! It's going to be hard and I'm going to be so cranky to be around! My poor husband and kids!

Just feel like I need a little love here...you all, better than anyone, know what I'm going through!

Thanks for reading. I just needed to vent.[/quote']

You will do great! I just finished day 4 of my 21 day liquid diet and my body is finally accepting what I'm doing to it. It will be hard for the first few days but hold on and don't give in! You will most likely find that yours constantly giving yourself pep talks...I am!

I'm already in it' date=' if you don't get an invite by later tomorrow, in case she's absent over the weekend, message me your email and I'll make sure she gets it as she is very active there. :-) Or some groups allow members to invite so I could try that as well. :-)[/quote']

Yes I sent a message but haven't heard back, figured I'd give it a week, then try again! Hope we get in soon!

I have the same worries you do about hubby & kids! I have thoroughly debriefed hubby that he may want to avoid me at the slightest sassyness in my part bc it wll do no good to bug a starving lady!

Fingers crossed these drinks fill us up! If anything we can think keep imagining our "after selves" and think "I can't have that with out this, bottoms up!" Good luck today, sounds like the first few days are the hardest then it eases up!

Hello to all the new November sleevers and welcome!!! I'm also a November sleever surgery date was November 30,2012. This was by far the best thing to happen to me!!! I'm 11 months out and down 97 lbs and lost 15 inches off my waist alone!! Some days will be hard and there will be times when you have buyers remorse, but believe me it will pass when you see the weight melting off. Just wanted to wish you all good luck on your upcoming surgeries!!

Thanks for reading. I just needed to vent.

We are both going to go through it together today and for the rest of the 2 weeks. From what i have heard its hard the first few days and gets easier after that. Hopefully that's the truth for both of us. Good luck keep us updated on how your doing. I will do the same.

      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!
