I had shrimp and wine last night. But I am further out than the criterion expressed. ;-).

Rebel!

I was just a wee bit of a rebel. Wine yeah, but the shrimp was healthy. :D I got my comeuppance for it though. I baked up some crab cakes the following evening, and caused a disaster. I ran out of olive oil spray, so I thought, "I am a skilled cook, and capable of heating up a frozen fish cake". So I doused them with some olive oil from the bottle. That was a Real Bad Idea. There was way too much oil, and they came out a sodden mess, not all crispy and good.

As a total noob, I appreciate you vets yelling at people for being morons - God bless you for your eternal patience! BariatricPal App

Girl, I don't yell at people nor would I call anyone a moron whether they deserve it or not.

:D

Well, in my honest opinion you bloody well should. I hardly need to explain my reasoning to anyone on this site with half a brain!

Well, they see it as yelling, and any one with an ounce of sense thinks they're being a moron...

Let's call it late night hyperbole fail - most of you vets have *infinite* patience. I have almost exactly none.

Has the Mrs. returned yet? Was the wine drank from a solo cup? Lol

Haha, I'm not that far gone. I was using a small coffee cup. :P She's not due back for a little while. It's kind of boring around here without her.

And what's wrong with a red solo cup? They are a staple here in TX. I've had my fair share of alcohol from them over the years, but wine deserves a glass!

@@suzzzzz Nothing at all. I could tell stories, but it would tarnish my lily white reputation. :P My coffee cup was made of glass. ;-) Besides, if I filled a red Solo cup up with wine, it might not be a good idea. We used to observe a phenomenon on a board where I was a moderator which we termed "posting while drunk". I would hate to get into that. :o

From an earlier post littleBill said while the Mrs. was gone he was only doing plastic and paper cups, plates etc.

Nothing wrong with red solo cups. Have them myself :)

I'm not a moderator there, but I lurk on a board where the term is "PWP" - "Posting While Plastered." :D Makes for some very interesting posts!

This is a response to a thread started about someone's first real meal 23 days after surgery containing fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, creamy shrimp Pasta, rice and an alcoholic beverage.

That's what I call a "bait post". She knew exactly what kind of response she was going to get....

I don't get why anyone would be upset at what someone else ate! We are all adults, all have been obese, all ate too much of what we shouldn't of, and all hated being told what we shouldn't eat.

The issue isn't so much eating food that might be detrimental to your weight loss, but rather eating food that could cause serious and immediate health problems because of a healing stomach. To a certain extent, it is entirely the responsibility of the individual. But beyond that, others who may not have received a proper education as to how and what to eat immediately post op may see something like this, figure it's okay, and then do damage to themselves while thinking they were safe.

So yeah, if someone is determined to eat something they shouldn't, it's on them. But if they are leading others astray, that becomes a different issue. Besides, if you are going to do something stupid, and then post about it on the internet, you should not be surprised when you receive criticism or worse for it.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
