Now I just inadvertently have a half pack of Hobnobs and a Crunchie bar here with me.

Pre-WLS me brought back an entire WHSmith bag of Cadbury's - and the only reason it wasn't 100% Crunchie-based is because of dental work. I never got hooked on Hob Nobs but definitely on chocolate-covered digestives. It's a good thing I'm unclear of the legality of imported clotted cream.

I went camping a few days before my surgery and I ate like ten hotdogs, a bag of chips and so many Cookies. I also ate some chips and watermelon like a week after surgery... duuumb lol. Don’t be like me though if you are about to have surgery

I make myself throw up because I still can’t control myself. I’ll be full but I’ll take one or two more bites because I hate wasting and then I’m too full it’s uncomfortable. Then I get scared I’ll stretch my tummy out, so I make myself puke. I puke just enough that I’m not overly full. Sometimes I’ll ask keep eating but spit it out instead of swallowing. I’m still early and on purée. I hope I can get this under control soon. I feel bad after and just stick to liquids for the rest of the day. Not a healthy cycle so far.

Maybe it’s from the sugar rush?

I caved and am enjoying my first post-surgery cup of coffee. I put a scoop of Protein Powder and some 1% milk in it to try to make it more diet friendly.

But the good news is I didn’t have one of the Cookies that was staring me down as I made my coffee. I stuck the package of cookies on a tall shelf instead!

Maybe, my insides haven't seen much sugar in the last 6 months.

Hey, great topic! I’m 18 days post op, and I haven’t cheated once.
Also not doing the two weeks shake diet.

I’m done with junk food. I’m a food addict.
If I start taking one bite, it’s not gonna stop. It’s gonna get out of hand. So I made a promise before the surgery and actually today, to never ever ever eat junk food or drink sodas. It’s really over for me.

Gastric bypass surgery was my last ditch effort , I can’t afford loosing grip of myself again. The horrible feeling being stuck in a fat body , with no social interaction, feeling ugly everyday and heavy is not worth it.

All I can say is , i hope I can keep my promise to myself.

Bless 🙏🏻

I drank beer and soda up until 3 days pre-op. I also got myself out of an event I didn't want to go to using the "I'm on the pre-op diet" excuse while I was sitting at home drinking beer. bahaha, sorry I had to laugh at myself for that one.

Seven days post op I got my cycle. The cravings were worse than they had ever been. I took a plain Hershey bar and broke it up and put one piece in my mouth at a time and sucked on it until it was melted liquid. Pure heaven.

I've tried to drink regular coke since surgery but it tastes funny...it almost has a black licorice taste to it, which I hate. I think the Universe knew I wouldn't be able to stay away from it so now it tastes tainted. lol!

1 month Surgiversary today and my sons 30th bday. Down 28lbs! Today I cheated, I had 2 slices of thin crust pizza but didn't eat the stuffed crust and said no to the sinful cheesecake. That plus my scrambled eggs for Breakfast, 1/2 a lemon Protein Bar and SF pudding cup is what I've had today. Stuffed and paying for it. Back on my grind tomorrow!

The coffee with Protein powder concoction was pure trash. Only drank half of it. Going to have to find better tasting powder before I do that again.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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! 🤣
