I bought a small coffee from Starbucks yesterday. I could only drink about 3 sips but it was the best 3 sips of coffee ever. lol

I met with my nutritionist today and asked her when I can start having coffee again and she said not until I'm drinking 64 oz a day and then adding 16 additional ounces for every cup of coffee I drink. I can't even make it up to about 50oz of Water a day.... so no more coffee for me for a while :(

I found sugarfree mints with the caffeine of half a cup of coffee. I can't wake up all the way without at least one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DQRFNRD/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Alright. Time to tally up folks.

I ate a lot of foods (by my standards) but other people's standards I barely ate!

I had a small amount of turkey, winter root vegetables, sweet potato, stuffing, mixed vegetables, bread (homemade), tortilla chips, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes spinach dip, Protein coffee, protein cookie, peanut brittle, pecan pie, pumpkin pie and ice cream.

(Only finished the pies)

Oh i know my weight will bounce up, but I also know how to go back down.

Thankful.

I came in with a plan and didn't veer from it: turkey with gravy, greens, tbsp of sweet potatoes and macaroni & cheese, a taste of sweet potato pie (not good, too sweet), and passed on the dressing. Unfortunately, I only ate 50g of Protein and was on the lower end with Water for the day.

But today and tomorrow are new days and you'll do okay with that and THANKSGIVING 2018 will become a Happy Memory.

I had about a cup of mashed potatoes and 1/2 cup turkey dressing over the last three days and I’m still in the post op liquid phase but it was SO good and I’m starving. My wive made a pizza for her and the kids tonight and I want some very badly!!! 2.5 more days until my follow up and then on to the next stage....

For some reason I could only eat like 6 spoons of food on thanksgiving. I haven’t had turkey so I’m thinking that’s what made me feel icky. It came right back up. Maybe it was the fat in the food that made me puke but thanksgiving isn’t as desirable after that...

I put a spoonful of each dish on my plate. Then I took one bite of each. I filled the rest of the space in my sleeve with turkey. I had a bite of my husbands apple pie and 1/2 a glass of wine. It was a Thanksgiving feast and I don’t regret a single bite.

5 weeks post op. Started on Beans after a week. Decided to give myself a cheat day on thanksgiving. Which turned into a 3 day cheat. New start tomorrow. I was pretty perfect prior to that post op and have lost 14 lbs. had hoped it would come off faster. Sigh.

I’ve been cheating for the last 4 days. I’m going to restart my Keto diet tomorrow. I’m feeling really sick right now.

I had a glass of wine at my high school reunion (and an egg roll). Back on the grind today. I'm grateful for the changes that I've made. In the past I would have had 3-4 drinks and stress ate all night.

I had a bite of crabmeat yesterday. It was not a nutritional cheat, because crabmeat is actually perfect as far as protein/carb/fat go, but I am still on purees and a week away from tuna and such, so it was a texture cheat. It was a teensy bite, and I chewed it to hell, bit I was still panicking afterward that I would get sick.

Haven't had a real craving, still not a full,scale one, but right now I would like a snack bag of White Cheddar Cheezits. Oh they probably,would regurgitate righ5 back,up, most solids do but for a few minutes I would feel whole again. Whole as I have not felt since the Ugly Stricture showed up 💦😭

I cheated my ass off this weekend. And boy did I pay for it! So much cramping and icky feelings! But... I'm still within the 5 lbs window I've been at for a while now, so that's good.

      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
