Last week, I was not successful on my fast days. I was getting a cold and just wasn't feeling well so didn't do it.

Today is my normal fast day, I woke up feeling good, not hungry, I can do it!... I work from home, BTW.

My freaking roommate cooked bacon 30 minutes ago. I have been starving since then. I know it is my problem and responsibility, but it is so frustrating to go from feeling good to feeling so hungry just over a smell.

Part of my resentment toward my roommate is that it is my ex significant other who still lives here because he can't afford a place on his own. I have been supporting him for 15 years and am pretty done with that. we get along fine, but it is like an irritant, a pebble in the shoe type thing. He will be here till at least january, and is helping me with the animals while I recover from plastics so it is a fair trade at this point, but doesn't stop me from feeling irrate and looking forward to January when I can institute a bacon free zone, at least on fast days. :)

Okay, my "b***h" of the day. Back to trying to convince myself I am not ACTUALLY hungry and craving bacon. It isn't time yet to even have my Protein Drink, but I may need to soon.

Day #2 of bacon in the am. If you hear on the news of some crazy lady in the Seattle area beating her ex to death with a package of bacon, you will know why you haven't heard from me. :)

BACON!!!

I love my husband.... Really I do, but I want to kill him when he cooks bacon!

We actually fight about it sometimes.. :P

It smells the house up and if I'm wearing something nice it will stink like bacon the rest of the day...

And yes I want to eat it all :(

The other thing that really gets me is toast.

Warm toast and butter the ultimate comfort food.< /p>

LOL

3rd day in a row of freaking bacon cooking.

Another fast day.. and all I can think about is eating bacon.

I am actually not eating that crap right now - I am getting ready for major surgery and I know that junky food can cause even immediate health ill effects. That is the reason so many heart attacks on Thanksgiving for example. Anyway, damn it.

I love bacon - I'm in west Seattle cowgirl - I can come over and slap him with bacon if you need any assistance! My 17 year old makes a huuuge mess when she makes bacon and so I get to see it, smell it, AND clean up all the grease - yay me. This is why I keep a secret stash of turkey bacon in the freezer - she doesn't like it and is too lazy to defrost haha.

You are a superstar in training for your plastics - I am so excited for you! I cant wait until I am at that point - still have a ways to go though.

You GUYZ!!! Did you not check out the link I posted? <_< It is made from baked coconut and my raw(ish) vegan friends who used to be mega carnivores, say it is amazing!

I don't like coconut. Probably one of the few foods I actually DON'T care for...haha.. me, the queen of will eat just about anything. But that link made me hungry...LOL. It is better to not look at food porn for a recovering junkie.

Chimera, I didn't realize you are just across the Lake from me - i am in woodinville. Once I am back driving again after my plastics it would be fun to meet some local sleevers. You look to me like you are pretty close to goal for sure!

I feel great today - the first bacon free day in what seems like forever.

And in all seriousness, even though he is my EX Sig Other (XSO for short!) - I am really worried about his eating habits lately. A story for another day, but he has fallen off any kind of wagon. He is not obese or even fat, but has other health problems that require a very healthy diet. sigh. I have no more influence over him then I did when he alledgely loved me, so I don't say a word.

      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
