June 30th is my date! Super excited and a little nervous but I'm ready to see this change in my life. The diet has been challenging but surprisingly not impossible. I will try to find different premier shake flavors today

Premier sells chocolate, vanilla, and strawberries and cream. The best price is at costco. 18 for $25

@chiness66 I was scared too but it's all ok. I was worried that the worst possible scenario would happen to me. I can't believe how good I feel.

Premier shakes from costco are awesome! Most Protein by liquid volume, meaning have to drink fewer ounces for more protein, and they don't taste bad.

The strawberry is nasty. Im a chocolate fan though. Nice change up from the Isopure, which I am still drinking to meet my protein numbers although Im 3 weeks out.

chines66, I think it's normal to be nervous. Think about the benefits and rewards. Hang in there. You're not alone!

I never had any fear after I researched it, but initially, yes lots of fear, it's healthy, u have nothing to worry about, try to watch some "You Tube" and research on your surgery

Tomorrow is my day.. I'm not too nervous about the whole hospital/surgery. I've had a few surgeries before in my life so I kind of know how that goes. I'm more worried about my family and them dealing with everything while I'm in the hospital. And my kids (10, 5 & 5) understanding why things are so different now. I'm hoping my twins don't notice and don't get weird about it. I told them about my big belly going away, and one of my boys was sad.. Since he loves to lay his head on my belly. :/ At first I told almost no one. I now have told almost everyone that I'm close to... And had discussions about it. I've had some negative feedback, but nothing that I can't overlook. Since I've weighed out the options and this is the best on by far at this point in my journey. And on a side note the pre-op diet has completely sucked for me. I've lost 7lbs during the past 2 weeks.. but I am seriously hating life..LOL Probably because I am the primary cook in our house and it really stinks cooking and not eating...

      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

      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!
