I saw my doc at hospital last week first time in a couple of months did the norm weight check before I go in.
So hes all your doing so well you’ve lost so much weight its fantastic keep going I say wellllll actually I gained weight since last month!
He looked at me and says what?!
I said oh yeah I was puking up for 2 and half week I lost 11lbs seems I gained it all back once I could eat again!
He then changed his tune and told me I should workout more and watch my diet I just started laughing!
I mean really for 2 and half weeks even a mouthful of tea was coming back up NOTHING was staying down so I stopped trying food and just had tea shakes and Soup which just all come up after I swallowed it of course I am gonna drop weight fast and durr of course I am gonna regain it once I started eating food again and it stayed down!
I found it highly amusing as had I not have told him he never would of known I was smaller and gained it back lol
I had to share because I did find it funny and just to show how easily they will change there tune about you doing well then chastise you when you correct them!
No way in hell am I feeling guilty for being sick and recovering lol

He's a Doctor for crying out loud! He knows that when you were sick you got dehydrated and when you got better you would be rehydrated. That wasn't a gain of "fat"........grrrrrr I hate it when medical people should know better! sheesh! I'm glad you are better though! You will see onderland again! I can feel it!

i didn;t eat food after 3 days and just tried shakes tea and a little Soup all of which come back up so it stands to reason eating food again and keeping most of it down means the sudden drop from pretty much starvation would come back when i was eating again.

just amused me it was all praise and pats on the back till i said well actuallyyyyyyyyyy then it was a verbal spanking and i am a bad girl lol

this is why people get upset and unsure of what to do the way your turned on quickly and looked at like your doing the wrong thing over nothing.

btw i have only ever seen this guy once before and he was the one who told me to stretch my sleeve out by drinking coke all day every day month after month which he shouldn;t tell me but it is the only way i can do it as my not being bad means i haven;t stretched it.

so yeah i laughed at him lol

      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.
      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
