Omggg. Pears sound so good right now lol.

I'm definitely going to pick up one of those rotisserie chickens for my first meat meal then possibly some ground bison and pulse it in the blender a couple times.

So excited for next Thursday lol

I find myself fantasizing about food. And no, I don't mind if it's only four ounces of food... That still sounds awesome. I just want real food! Four more days....

I've decided to stop weighing everyday. Although I think it's a mistake... I'm gonna try it. I don't want to get discouraged if I don't lose from one day to the next on the other hand weighing everyday keeps me on point so idk... It's tricky. Thoughts?

Pre-op I weighed in weekly using my NUT's scale. Now I weigh myself daily. I lost about 2 lbs a week pre-op. I am now losing 1 lb every two days. I think I can handle the stalls and inconsistency, but I know that we are susceptible to depression so maybe counter your need to weigh with doing a Leslie Sansone five minute walk or something else?

I am not dreaming of food yet. I watch the food network and get my fill of food prep and although I would love to eat now, I hope to make good choices in the future. It is hard, but we can overcome this. Thursday is scaring me cause I don't want to puke.

I just had something delicious. Strained cream of chicken and mushroom Soup. Campbell's. Instead of Water I used low sodium chicken broth. It was really good

Finding something yummy makes a BIG difference. I have enjoyed my Soup choices, especially a line that I have only found at Whole Foods (I see they are available in Sprouts and Bristol Farms too), called IMAGINE. Glad to know you found a good one too!

So yesterday I did pretty crappy I don't mean that I over ate I mean I couldn't stomach a Protein shake so I had broth two times and a yogurt and that was it. I woke up exhausted today obviously lack of energy.

I've done well today two Protein shakes, broth and I'll try to have a yogurt or some Jell-O before bed I also have done OK on my Water today.

T minus two days to real food...

      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!
