I have been drinking propel at least every other day. It is zero calories too. Yesterday, all of a sudden I got this really uncomfortable pain. Like a very sore muscle of course under my large incision. I don't know if I did too much yesterday or what. I have my 2 week post op spot so I can bring it up then.

Was the pain almost like a pulling sensation?

Yes, I think when I reach up it definitely hurts, but even getting up and down now hurts more than it did this past weekend.

A few of us have gotten that pain. I only experienced it getting up. One member said she held a pillow against herself while she got up. The pulling sensation lasted on and off for a little over 3 weeks for me.

Thank you! I have been sneezing a lot and I hold a pillow, but I wonder if that is causing my pain. Sneezing really hurts!

My doctor said if you get really sick off some thing new then go back to your liquids for 24 hours to give your time to rest. Hope this helps! !

The scale finally moved in the right direction today!!! Not much of a move but I'll take it!!!!

That is awesome, Edie! My scale must be broken ;)

So I'm leaving my 1 week post op appointment and feeling pretty darn good! Down 11 lbs since surgery and surgeon said she's happy with my progress. She wants me to up my Protein intake which is going to be tough because the shakes are making me gag. Waiting on the Unjury chicken Soup mix to be delivered hoping that can help. Hope all of you are having a great day too!

      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!
