I had some wheat toast this morning, though for the first time since my third fill. I felt a bit of restriction when eating it, so I made sure to eat smaller bites.

I don't know if I will become one of the ones who can't eat bread, but it doesn't seem like all have this issue.

LJM, sorry to hear about how hard it was for you! Sounds horrible... :sneaky:

i NORMALLY dont have issues with bread (even when i was REALLY filled..) i think i just ate too quickly cause i knew i wasnt going to get anything else for at least an hour..

I don't know what is going on with my Internet, but I had to resort to my iPhone just to read the posts since I have been home. Thank goodness for unlimited internet. I noticed that I haven't seen posts from a certain person on the octotwat thread. Do u think they are gone?

You know what is really scary? People shrink. My dad used to be 5'4" and now he is shorter than me. I am 5'2" . I don't want to shrink!

Beth, be glad all she did was write you a nasty note. I got back to my car once and the person had keyed my brand new car.

LJM, I am sorry you had a bad pb. I haven't done that in such a long time. I am getting a fill on 3/2 and I almost don't want to. I know that being able to eat anything I want right now is not a good thing though.

I used to be 5' 1.75" Then I had a kid and I was 5' 1.25". Then I had another kid and I was 5' 0.75" and would be written down as 5'.

But when I decided to get WLS, I was suddenly 5' 1.25". That's up with that?

I am the shortest person in my family over the age of 13. My mom is 5'4" and her mom -- who grew up during the Depression and it turned her borderline anorexic and then later suffered from osteoporosis -- was at least an inch taller than me when I last saw her.

DH is 6'0" btw.

Just a quick update....my DD is home, she is going to be on antibiotics through her PIC line, as well as oral antibiotics and other meds for minimally 6 weeks, and then they will look into how much surgery is needed.

She is feeling good, and has hope!

Thanks so much for your care and concern!!!

Agreed. It's one thing to say, "God promotes forgiveness"...you know? Fine. But all that crap..."You're rude" "You're this...you're that...." It gets tiring.

I thought only He was fit to judge anyway?

donna - your car/gas story had me in hysterics...probably because i had a non graceful moment yesterday w/my truck. i'm very short & drive a hummer; DH had an extra step installed on it for me to climb into & i BIT it climbing in with a few bags....i missed the one step - hit the other & cracked my nose on the steering wheel. i have a cut on the bridge of my nose and it's a bit bruised. i look like i've been in a fight....

Lulu, dear, I'm sorry but I must admit to laughing at this. I cannot imagine how badly that hurt though.

My klutz story is that I was at a Tennessee/Arkansas game in Little Rock and was running my mouth and stepped into a big storm drain. I broke not one, but both fibulas/fibulae (outer calf bone). I have other "graceful" stories but this is el numero uno.

LOL. Unfortunately, we are still trying to fight over who is queen (hint hint) of my house.:)

:) You married a gay man? :wink2:

i'm 5'1 on my toes - mom is 4'11.

dad is 6'1 - i didn't get that feature from the gene pool.

I'm 5'4"ish/obese and my fricken younger brother is 6'4" and 170ish. WTH?!? (Yes, same parents.)

PJTP and to say I'm going to The Veronica's concert tonight! Woot!

SWEET!!! Let us know how it was!

      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
