This looks really thorough. Any chance that you can provide an inventory to the rest of us who might not be so organized and are playing catchup?

Thanks!

It's great that your excited. You never know who you maybe able to give your extra or unused supplies to. Some people bring there extra to there support group for other people. Some also share them with in there Facebook group. Either way none of it will be wasted.

Sure! From the left, that small container is Vitamin samples ive gotten from support group meetings. Then in the next container in the middle I have individual packs of Quest Protein in different flavors (since I didnt want to buy a big container till I knew what I liked), then a box of nectar chocolate truffle Protein Powder, and a pack of Atkins mocha latte shake to go with my morning coffee instead of Creamer. Last box on the right I habe some sample packs of protein powder handed out at group (chocolate and vanilla flavored Unjury and orange cream Bariatric Advantage), a container of chocolate protein flavor given to me by a friend not aure of the brand, 365 Everyday Value brand vanilla protein, large container of vanilla milkshake Quest protein powder, and a Pro-Stat sugar free medical protein.

And the day after I took this photo my two containers of Unjury arrived (one chicken Soup flavored and one unflavored) so I have more. But I'm finally done prepping I think.
**oh and that first container with the Vitamins also has Gas-X tabs that melt on your tongue**

      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!
