Veronica Page I actually did do old school Atkins complete with litmus pee sticks. I only lost 15 lbs in 6 months and was only on very low carb the entire time. At the end of it my organs started shutting down, I think it's called ketogenic syndrome or something. Regardless of what they preached, calories still count on Atkins.

That's pretty cool that your family will celebrate Christmas early for you. I've tried different shakes I'm really having a hard time but the ones that I found that I do like are the Core Power, GNC lean shakes and I just found a new one that I have really really think is yummy it's from V8 Protein shakes. As for my vitamins I got chewable ones at GNC but I want to order from Amazon the one Multivitamin my surgeon suggested. It's from oppurity.

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th in Tijuana with dr. verboonen. I'm so excited!! When I first scheduled earlier this week, the plan was for me to go alone but my husband and kids are freaking out about that, lol so my husband is going to apply for his passport card on Monday & pay an extra fee to expedite it. We've heard you can get it back in 2-3 wks when expedited so keeping fingers crossed for that. Other than his passport, my next steps are booking our flight & getting my supplies all together for preop diet & stuff to pack. I'm so excited!!! :)

I certainly will. :) a friend of my daughters had to get hers quickly about a year ago & she said it was back in 2 or 3 weeks after she applied. Since we're just getting the passport card, the fee to expedite should only be about $60. Good luck & I hope you get yours in plenty of time so you don't have the added stress of that to worry about. :)

      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!
