We are going through a transition here, I work overnights and had been working 5 nights a week, starting this week I went part time and only work Fri, Sat and Sun nights. She and her dad have a routine and with me home it has thrown her off. (As any night I was off did, now there are 4 nights instead of 2) So we will work through it just may take awhile.:)

My oldest stays up for DAYS literally at a time. No one can figure out what is wrong with her, she goes to a neurologist after camp. Do you think I should warn them ahead of time?? lol...:biggrin2:

LOL That is how I am!! According to my mom from infancy on I would stay awake for days with only a handful of 15 minute 'power naps' to tide me over until I decided to get some sleep.

Now as an adult I am on numerous insomnia meds (most don't work) and I can still go days with out sleep only to nod off for moments at a time and be wide awake and reading to go. Kind of suck truth be told.

Oh and FYI numerous cat scans and mri's came up "clean" ... nothing wrong, I am just an atypical insomniac. *shrugs*

Froggie, you don't look like you weigh as much as you say you do. I love your page. I never knew you could make it in color!

lol i guess that's a plus? compliment? LOL My mom says I look like I do...some people say I don't I wish I wasn't over 400 lbs but the scales don't lie :)

I made it pretty by taking about an hour screwing with colors LOL time consuming

I have insomnia as well. I have had it for years. If I didn't take Ambien, I would never sleep. It saves my life. I am still tired all the time because I usually take it around 12:30 and I am usually awake by 5 am. My dr. will only allow 14 per month, so the rest of the time I am just plain miserable.

But what if you don’t like pb? Can you just have jelly? Plus bread tends to stick in me. Whats a girl to do in a situation like that?

Don't forget to add lots of pure sugar to what you eat so you can have regular bowel movements too. Froggi, I am assuming you caught that in chat last night!

      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
