1 year and a half out... reoccurring sickness



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved June of 2015. It's been a year and some change and I do not regret anything!

I've lost a good amount of weight and was very healthy... until I lost track.

I, unfortunately, started incorporating things I left out once I got the surgery. I cut out rice, potatoes, and everything that was not meat, veggies, and fruits. I maintained this for a whole year.

Then, by September 2016, I started to incorporate it and had candies here and there.

Now I've noticed my health quickly deteriorating. I've been growing abscesses in very sensitive places. And I notice it's only when I have a soda or have a candy bar.

I know I know I know I shouldn't have cheated. But has anyone else realized they can no longer tolerate Foods they once could? I now get extremely physically sick when I go off gear.

eggs is my weak point! So is anything Protein shake wise and any flavor in my Water besides strawberry and blueberry infused. I had Brussels Sprouts and homemade chicken noodle Soup today and threw it back up! I've been miserable. Mind you I'm 6 weeks out but I was doing good for a minute. Now I'm just sick again =(

For the past 2 nights I have had terrible cramps and thrown up a couple of times. Lasts about 30 minutes and really hurts. Last night I had a chicken patty from Trader Joe's. Tonight it was a ground chuck patty. I thought maybe I ate too much of the chicken and that was it but tonight I was really careful and weighed the hamburger patty and had nothing else. During the day I am fine. I am 5 months out from the surgery with no complications at all. I'm down over 50 lbs and exercise daily. The only new thing I have added are raw almonds so I will see what tomorrow brings. Nothing else I have eaten has bothered me at all. Any ideas?

      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
