Who Got Stuck For Thanksgiving?



Recommended Posts

My thanksgiving isn't going to be until Saturday, so I'm going to be very careful.

Happy Thanksgiving. I did not get stuck. Last year I did. I did have a few bad things but spaced out my eatings.

Feel better.

I hardly ate anything....No turkey at all, I really was not that hungry......I mostly grazed on the pre dinner appetizer foods put out, while watching football on TV.......veggies and dip, shrimp, cheese, crackers, etc, all kinds of little goodies....couple glasses of Merlot,, and maybe 2 beers......that was about it...

I did have a nice piece of berry pie, avoiding most of the crust, along with some ice cream later in the evening.......

But absolutely no stuck episodes, or anything even close....

It wasn't any thing for me, but more the process of grabbing a bite here and there as I cooked the meal. I am coming to understand that the band regulates the process of eating, not just the quantity. To many times I get stuck because I am in a hurry.

I was so busy visiting and monitoring dogs I was trying to take a bite and actually forgot to chew thoroughly so a piece of chicken got me. Luckily it passed on it's own but it was close to a PB and I was very uncomfortable for a few minutes there.

I got stuck with preparing Thanksgiving, but did not get stuck with any food item, myself. ;) .

Hashtag how I wish someone else in my American expat group of friends would take over this yearly task!!!

Thanksgiving was my first day of mushies so my Thanksgiving dinner was half a cup of mashed potatoes with about a teaspoon and a half of gravy and a little fat free shredded cheese melted in. Soooo yummy. Seriously, it was heavenly.

I adore that I am happy and satisfied for hours on less than a cup of food. Without my band, I would have eaten so much, been miserable and five pounds heavier by the time I got done with the leftovers. No more of that nonsense.

:D

No stuck episode for me! I enjoyed a taste of everything I'm allowed on the plan my Doc has given me. I just had to endure the loving scrutiny of my 18 yr old niece who liked to pick on me for eating small bites and chewing a lot. Family....gotta love em.

      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!
