I know, it's frustrating hey?

My parents usually take trips to minot a few times a year, but with the Canadian dollar being so lousy lately, they haven't gone in over a year.

So I'm pretty happy they're going this week!

I would love to pop over to pick up a few things, but 12,000 km is a long way!

Being as I currently reside in North Dakota and frequent Minot on a weekly basis, I can actually be helpful here!

Send your parents to the Dakota Square Mall. There they'll find Isopure at GNC, and flavored tuna at Target. I've never heard of or looked for Mr. cheese O's, but if Target normally carries them then they may be there as well. P3 packs can be bought pretty much anywhere that sells packaged lunch meats. Again, Target may have them, but if not then I know for a fact that I've seen them at Walmart.

Thanks so much! It's good to know there's a GNC at the mall. I went to GNC here today to see if they had the isopure....they didn't...but they had another similar drink the guy said tastes pretty much the same as Isopure. I bought a couple to see if I like them. If I do, my parents can get me the actual isopure when they go.

You can get tuna packets at Walmart and Target as the others have said, and any big supermarket should have them. You can also find a variety of Protein powders at Walmart, Target, and big supermarkets – just browse for a while. Usually there’s a whole section with Protein Bars and Protein Shakes, so it’s kind of fun to look. Maybe your parents can go through the store with you on the phone so you can find some good products. GNC is a dependable place for Protein Powder, but it’s a little expensive sometimes.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
