My surgery is on Tuesday March 29 I have to fly in on Monday for blood work and all that with dr Ramos Kelly I started myself on my liquid diet yesterday and I cheated with string cheese so today is the real game no place for errors. For my Protein I'm going make Jello with protein mixed in bc I'm on Clear Liquids. I wish you all good recoveries and successful diets.

Had my sleeve on March 22. Have my first post-op appt today. Excited to see how much I have lost as I do not have a scale at the house right now. (We recently moved internationally and are waiting for our furnishings to arrive)

Pain is minimal - like I have done a few to many sit ups. For the most part tylenol takes care of it, though I did take pain meds when I knew family was going to be here and I was going to be doing a lot of up and down with kids coming to the house.

I think I am doing good on Water intake - 20-36 oz of Water a day so far. Each day is an increase in how much. Just need to remember to have the water next to me.

food is full liquids so doing some Protein shakes (though having done them previously for 6 months they are not on the top of my list. Soups are my go-to. Home made potato and Tomato that have been put into the bullet. Going to do a veggie Soup this week and try that. Loving yogurt too.

I had my 3 wk appt. yesterday down 22 lbs since 3/8, I'm on puréed foods until next Tuesday then I progress to soft foods, I am usually eating 2oz to 1/3 cup depending on what it is, I've notice my full signal is hiccups (or I'm eating to fast lol). The dietician said I need to up my liquids and not to include other liquids (like sf Popsicles) in my total, that those would be extra..... But other than that I'm still in the same size, just baggy (because I prolly shoulda been in the next size of everything!!)

      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!
