Everything is moving forward I am looking forward to Sunday when I can add full liquids to my diet and go back to my Protein Shakes, I have missed those. I think I have missed coffee most of all though.

I am doin pretty good. Some of the soreness seems to be subsiding but still getting some gas pains. Had my first bm about 4:30am. I am having some type of stomach spasms or something. Not sure if it is hunger or spasms or both. Hope everyone else is doing well.

I had my surgery last Monday (24th) and doing pretty good! I had no pain or nausea in the hospital! The only pain I had were the incisions. Just felt like I did too many stomach crunches. I didn’t feel like I had surgery! I’m on full liquids. I started riding my stationary bike for about 20minutes. It’s been raining here in Houston so can’t get out and walk. On about Wednesday I was having some nausea problems but that’s the only day. My husband took me to see the grandkids yesterday and I was sore more than usual. I think it was from the seat belt. When you get to feeling good to go out it might be a good idea to take a pillow to put across your belly. I just got finished eating Cream of Mushroom and chicken Soup mixed with 1c of 1/2% milk and 1/3c of instant powdered milk. It was DELICIOUS!! I ONLY GET A 1/2c. I go back to the dr Wednesday. It looks like so far I’ve lost 10lbs. Now that’s according to my scale. I’m pleased!! Any weight loss is a good loss!!

I have been having a hard time sleeping. I tried both sides and stomach. Stomach is my normal sleep position. no side is good and still wake up in the middle of night to adjust myself.

      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!
