Started on my pre-op diet on 1/23 and have been at a workshop the last 3 days and had to suffer through looking at 2tables of food for the whole time :( but I can say I did not touch the candy or Cookies at all. I did have a hard boiled egg and a piece if cheese though.

Stay strong. They say this is the worst part. You can do this.

14 days and counting. liquid diet here I come.

Dreaming a lot lately. Am I the only one?

Oh yeah! The shakes were not that bad with all the other stuff on my mind......

I got Choc and strawberry, was never hungry on them, they taste ok actually, I was only able to drink 5 on one day (I drank 4 a day and was NOT hungry), they are foamy really foamy put a bit of Water to replace some of the skim milk to make it easier to drink.

Those recommendations came from Dr Scott's office.

You will do great Tia, I trust the folks that are taking care of you entirely, heck I even trust them with my life.......and I did. I was treated so well throughout the whole process at Floyd from admitting to discharge. I was apprehensive having worked in a hospital for twelve years (16 years ago) and had never been "put under". My experience exceeded all of my expectations.

Don't worry, those folks are pros!

Holler if ya need anything.

Paul

Thank you XXShelXX, you are the first person to respond to my posts. I feel like I'm part of the group now. Kudos to you Shaza1963! That sure must be tough! Stay strong, one day at a time -- you've GOT this!

Shout out to all my fellow-FEB 3-ers: It's 4:30 a.m. now in L.A. and in EXACTLY ONE WEEK my alarm clock will be buzzing so I can check in for surgery at 5:45 a.m. It's official: I'm nervous now. :0(

      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!
