is anyone using this app??

I've been using it daily and I would like to connect with more friends (especially those with "open diaries") so that I can get a better idea of what everyone else is eating... I keep my diary open as well.

I had my surgery 12/30/13 and i'm re-learning to eat all over again....still sounds funny to me.

thank you,

ellie

I'm using it. I wouldn't mind friends on it either although I'm slightly technically impaired. You'd have to explain how to me how to add someone. And perhaps how to make the diary open.

I'll take a look and see if I can figure out out as well.

Jensnewjourney. I'd love more friends on MFP to get ideas of what people are eating.

You can look for me in the "community" tab, "find members" then type my user name

I use it but my diary is not open due to judge mental people with eating less than 1200 calories.

I understand....I've often wondered "if I eat this (not the most healthy choice) someone's gonna judge me, I should close my diary"... but so far I haven't had a bad experience...everyone's been very supportive...and I think that keeping my diary open helps me stay "in-check" and forces me to make better choices...that's a personal choice....I welcome ur friendship on MFP without you having to open your diary...I completely respect that.

As far as calories...I'm one of those that has been under 1200 but it's because I'm not even 3 weeks out and I can't get anymore in...more than anything else =)

Anyone is free to add me: Mouse0nTheMile (the O in On is a zero)

My diary should be open and hey, I chart everything and I'm not a purist, I eat some stuff I shouldn't, in small amounts and I'm honest about it. I've fortunately never had flame for it.

      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!
