Hi. I am writing a cookbook for bariatric patients and I need your help. I need recipes that are for every stage of post surgery. My deadline is fastly approaching and I need more recipes. If you have a recipe or two or three or ten you want to share with me for the book, I would greatly appreciate it. You will be given full credit for the recipe and you will receive an ebook copy of the book for free. If you would like to contribute you can email me your recipe (and how you want to be given credit, whether it's your name, website address, etc.) to asolen@gmail.com or call me at 478-689-0946. I need the recipes ASAP as my deadline is January 1st. with a print date of January 3rd. A portion of the proceeds from the book will be going to the bariatric coalition to help those who want the surgery but can not afford it.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. :)

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Amy

Great News is that I have completed the cookbook and it is now available on Amazon.com for purchase for either in print or on the kindle. It is titled: Cooking After Weight Loss Surgery. recipes for every stage of weight loss surgery. By Amy Solen.

ISBN: 9781494290986 http://www.amazon.com/Cooking-After-Weight-Loss-Surgery/dp/1494290987/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1389546678&sr=1-8&keywords=cooking+after+weight+loss+surgery Please remember, the recipes were given to me by other people who have went through the surgery, as well as ones I have used myself, so nutritional information isn't available for all the recipes.

      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!
