One of the head physicians (there are three of them for three different radiology sub-departments) talked about the planned possible new versions of the on-duty-schedule and all of them SUCK!!! making it worse for us so we gave him our quite strong opinions on this for about an hour this very morning during the meeting.

We need 2 to 3 more coworkers, ideally already being able to do 24 h shifts - but even if not, they'll still be helpful during the daytime. Several people went away and nobody came for them so of course there're problems now! Give us more manpower again and the problems will be solved! Seriously, it's not that hard to understand.

Glad everyone said something instead of just going along with it, I hope they listened carefully.

I doubt. The two other head physicians were more like "This won't work!" than anything else anyway.

In the end this will hopefully be much-a-do-about-really-much, at least this is what I'm hoping for.

Anyway, we demanded a simulation, i. e. a whole month's schedule WITHOUT violating the law regarding allowed maximum working time (including vacation time problems and maybe one person being sick) - ever single of these plans will crumble down like a house of cards!

WOW. Did they agree to hire more staff if it fails?

So as opposed to @sillykitty's "Find What's Missing" game, this is the "Find the Camel On The Dollar Bill" game? :D

I'm back BABY!!!

Temporarily anyway... I missed yogurt sooooo much.

After 2 months without it, plus doctor's visits tp confirm, the conclusion is giving it up probably won't solve my dumping or GERD so here we are together again at last ❤

Matcha lemon yogurt with nuts and raisins (completely mixed in) before and after

Oh, did you yourself have the impression that it changed something in your GERD when you didn't eat dairy? I guess not if you're back to eating yoghurt again.

GERD triggers can be hard to find.

It is Valentina. It's a Mexican hot sauce, but not hot at all. I'm not sure how I feel about it after surgery. I used to love it before. My son-in-law is Mexican and had me try this. I told him it wasn't for me, but it's very good.

No true change to dumping or GERD but I wanted to give it long enough to prove right or wrong

How do you prepare this? I might try it with the Alpro substitute.

I mix Matcha (green tea) powder with liquid lemon stevia into unflavored greek yogurt

Its my absolute favorite variation

I imagine it would work with any type of yogurt or substitute

      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!
