So I did it, I gave in to chocolate. Damn Easter bunny!!! Well I defiantly don't dump. Boo... I told my husband that candy/ sweets are just not allowed to be in the house. I can go out and not think about it twice, but if it's sitting in my kitchen I can't stop thinking about it. Bad me! I guess this is where I accept my mistake and move on and try to not let that happen again, but it's so hard to forgive yourself sometimes.

I too had chocolate on Easter and didn't dump, but Tuesday I had 3 bites of cheesecake and I dumped big time. I was in horrible pain for 2 hours and all I wanted to do was throw up. I got the shakes and started to sweat and get dizzy. I got upset and confused and all I could do was crawl up in my bed and wait it out. It was so horrible I swore I'd never have another piece of anything sweet again. They weren't kidding when they said it would cure my sweet tooth. The sweets just aren't worth that torture.

I am 3 and a half weeks post op and haven't had the guts to try anything sweet. The way people describe dumping....I couldn't deal. I definitely wouldn't have dared tried soda...that's a no no for the rest of my life! Easter was so hard because my daughter and niece made the damn cupcakes and omg! It took everything in me not to power one down lol....I made it through though

I was in a cab yesterday and the driver is one of my regulars. She had the surgery 4 yrs ago and proceded to tell me how she drinks sodas eats chocolates and Cookies and doesn't dump.....I was sorta mad...like why put your body through all of that just to resume the same old habits? Its a lifestyle change...on the other hand I think I was envious bc I can't eat that anymore...Maybe I could but as painful as dumping sounds I wouldn't even try!

i totally agree anjela! why would anyone go thru this just to resume their bad eating habits. i wonder if she realizes how much more she would loose if she didnt eat all those bad things. i dont even crave sweets or soda....i look at them and think " thats the old me". and like u, even if i did want them i wouldnt even try out of fear of getting sick. its just not worth it.

I think she was trying to re-assure me that I would be able to eat again someday but even when I can you can bet I won't be eating like that! #Disturbed

      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.

      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!
