That is horrible to hear. I wish you had an easier time up until now. You'll get past this and it will a distant memory. A war story you can tell in the future. And they say this is the easy way out, huh.

All your going through is normal. Each day you will feel a little better. What worries me is the people that post they went to Disneyland the next day or a week later are running. Your body has been through alot and its going to take time to heal. It took me till about two months till I felt normal again. No surgeon or therapist can prepare you for what you really go thru physically and emotionally. And of course everyone is different but you will be just fine and in a short time you will have no regrets!
Take care and hope your feeling better!

Well for me things got so much better in weeks 7 and 8 once I started back on real nonmushy food. I had more energy and the bathroom got back to my normal routine. I had very little nausea post op, and as I tried new foods that did happen a few times when I tried something I wasn't ready for. Now, over 15 months out I don't have any food restrictions really.
The pills...well, I still do watch how big my pills are. I cut them in half if I can. I take krill oil since the fish oil pills are so large.
It will get better.

      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!
