okay then continue to be mean to each other, and realize at the same time, it's against the terms of service here.

Seems to me that only a select few are mean and spiteful..

The rest of us just read( or choose not to) and laugh... I hope. Or see ourselves. And learn!

Or , like Babbs wonder at seeing posters asking about pizza on post op day 10

Always something....

It amuses me⭐️

Dietician?

What's your beef with dietician?

The Oxford Dictionary not good enough for you?

I was wondering the same thing.

Carry on.

Edit: Where is my upper case F? I used an upper case F and the censoring changed it to lower case! Who is the programmer responsible for this?!

First they came for the people who used no punctuation marks, and I did not speak out—

Because I used punctuation marks.

Then they came for the people who did not use paragraphs, and I did not speak out—

Because I used paragraphs.

Then they came for the people who had run-on sentences, and I did not speak out—

Because I did not write run-on sentences.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to write for me.

I can forgive spelling errors for the most parts, just because I understand the prevalence of mobile devices. I can also forgive grammar problems with people that English is a second language. So the examples of lose/loose and there/they're/their I can chalk up to autocorrect or translation problems.

However, when someone post a paragraph that I have to read several times, then check to make sure they are from US, then read again and I still don't understand it; I just close the tab. I imagine the spell checker on their computers and/or mobile devices are just like, "I got nothing dude. WTF are you trying to say?!"

you are fabulous. :-)

@@pink dahlia Amen!!! omg yes I used 3 letters for a phrase!! Who cares about spelling and punctuation on a site where peoples lives are literally on the line. MAJOR LIFE CHANGES, we are here to support everyone, including people who are not educated. Shame Shame on you all.

This. How many of us have dealt with hurtful judgement? I'd bet nearly all of us at some point. If you can't process a post because of the way it's formatted, skip it. The moment you decide pointing out what you perceive to be an error is more important than someone's feelings, you are being judgmental, regardless of how many times you say some variation of, "I'm not judgmental, but..." Or, "I don't usually judge..." Or, "I'm not judging..."

Yeah, you are.

Wow. You can write and spell perfectly. Good for you.

*Back to the important things, like supporting others.*

      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
