B-side:

  • Game of Thones, natch.
  • Top Chef, Top Chef Canada, MasterChef, MasterChef Austrailia, Giada in Italy, You Gotta Eat Here, Barefoot Contessa (...you get the picture, I LOVE cooking shows).
  • Grey's Anatomy
  • This is Us
  • Survivor, Project Runway

You may wonder how I have the time to watch all of this? Lol, TV is like my radio. I have the TV on all the time, either the actual TV, or on my laptop or iPad or phone. Alot of the time I'm not actually looking at the screen, just listening, while I multitask doing other things. GoT is the only show I actually watch with my full attention from beginning to end.

This is me too... the TV is on pretty much all day long as background noise.

#17. I’ll substitute my favorite workout songs since that is what I listened to at the gym this morning.: (old lady alert) 24K Magic, Viva La Vida, This is Me (soundtrack Greatest Showman) and Raise your Glass.

B. My confidence is back.

#17 listen to your favourite album:

I don't have a favourite album, I usually just listen to playlists on shuffle, or my TV that's on in the background :)

B-side: What has changed the most/least in the past year:

Most: Obvs my whole eating/cooking/exercise routine has done a complete 180. I eat better (or not at all), I cook for the fam all the time and actually love it, and *gasp* I exercise every day. This is a complete turn around from eating crap like all day long, being too lazy to cook and going out/ordering out almost every day or buying pre-packaged processed foods, and non-existent exercise. It's crazy how different I am now.

Day 17 - I normally only listen to my playlists when I'm driving or when I'm writing, neither of which are on the schedule today. I will see about putting on my happy playlist while I'm prepping dinner (steak fajitas... no tortilla for me... and black bean salad).

B-side - I'm not putting myself at the bottom of my list any more.

17. Currently listening to Bread's "Make it with You". An old favourite. Not an album but it's a start. I may put something on when I get home. Oh, and now I'm listening to "If" by bread. At any rate, glad it's a rest day because I was feeling rebellious about crunches and squats. I did get to the gym this morning and do my cardio.

B-side: So much has changed in the past year. I've been working on accomplishing my goals and that's good. Hmmm, the most - my size has changed and my daily routine as now I go to the gym nearly every day. The least, I'm still me.

And now it's "Everything I Own" by Bread so I guess this is my album for the day.

      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
