Hahahaha! Am about to have a "cuppa" of golden Matcha latte! :) Gotta go schlep in the house! :) Have I told you, thanks for starting the IF stuff?!!! I honestly heart it. I HEART it! :)

I wish I could take credit for it's discovery (LOL, I could write med journal or two) i just stumbled on it one night, because I want to live forever... but I do wish the VETS that are doing it would chime in more often...

So day 1 failed xD I ended up having a dinner at 7pm because I was so darn hungry. My caloric intake ended up being 582 I believe.

So today, I switched it up to having eating hours between 11am-7pm so I can have a real dinner. And also not look like a weirdo to my mother who will be staying with me this weekend (lordhelpme). Being without food for a few hours in the morning really wasn't that bad, so I'm curious to see how the rest of the day goes. I know a grocery run is in my future. My meals today are consisting of Fiber Cereal, 2 Protein Shakes, and tuna with a little light mayo 😐 Protein goal is for sure met. Variety goal...not so much.

My sleeve doesn't tolerate many veggies. Tomato goes down ok. Asparagus did at one point. But no spinach, no lettuce, nothing leafy is tolerated. And I don't find much nutrition in veggies like corn or peas or whatnot :P

It took me quite a while to have lettuce again. Interestingly, I still don't eat much lettuce. I do have some but every day at work for lunch, I go to the salad bar and make a "salad" but it never includes lettuce! I use cucumbers, green and red peppers, red onions, sometimes a small piece of artichoke, but rarely lettuce. (I also have grilled chicken on it). I avoid corn and peas as much as possible since they are starchier though I do have a lot of carrots and celery with hummus.

I used to do this at the salad bar too! Mine would be more Protein heavy like diced ham, grilled chicken, hardboiled egg pieces, etc. But that's a good idea to load up on veggies like peppers. Cucumbers I haven't had good luck with. But it's always worth trying again.

@FluffyChix they were honey crisp apples!

I can't do much lettuce either, wilted spinach is okay. Cukes, radishes, Tomato, green Beans, etc all are ok.

Uh..have had a virus for 8 days now, no puking, no sore throat/coughing, just bone tired, fever/chills/sweats..

Turkey burger, cheese, tomato

Well that was fast....hit goal today—127! Now with fasting I’m aiming towards maybe 124, just to see what I can make of this! Healthy BMI chart says I can weigh a healthy 115-158 or something, so I might just put this fasting to the test!. With the new 11-7 hours it’s A LOT more manageable. Who knew dinner was so mentally important to me? 😂

      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!
