Forgot to post yesterday



11. Made myself a cauliflower grilled cheese (Grilled cheese Sandwich with Cauliflower Bread). I can only eat half so the other half was dinner tonight.



12. Did my plank and lunges. Watched Bugsy Malone.


*ears perk up*. Cauliflower bread? ?? Do you buy or make ? I’m so slow to learn some of this stuff

  • Today is a new day.


  • I'm over my meltdown from yesterday.


  • I'm already making a plan for Easter dinner. My sister is hosting, so I have her menu of what I will eat.


  • Up early this morning, doing some strength training and aerobics.


  • #13- will be outside most of the day. Going on a 3 mile walk this morning. Then later in the afternoon another walk to just enjoy the day.


It’s quite alright! We all have “those” days! Have a great day 😘

# I am going for a walk, whether Tomkitten ants to come along or not, and I am going to use my walker, the one he threatened to hide. He says your cane or nothing, calls using a walker "regressing" Well it should be my choice, my degree of confidence in my stability. I know he deeply loves me, but at times he acts like he wishes I was meek, subservient and a DoorMat his father wiped his feet on. But I have gotten emotionally stronger, put myself under New Management, my own, and I am so much better for it! He is still peeved I wanted to do all the dishes, clean the kitchen yesterday night, albeit with one hand since my right hand/arm still painful from April 4th surgery. Had hoped he would comprehend the mess was not good and pitch in and do it all for me. He stated I don't like doing dishes, well I don't either but I also don't care to grow my own penicillin out there. So got most,of them done last night, now to gird my loins and face the rest. Ycch! Told him we are going start on disposable tableware if he don't join me there, tired of cooking with no cleaning up! And there won't be any more Pyrex baking dishes used without his help. I cannot balance hot items on my hip and use one hand. Maybe I am in a picky, crabby mood today, I am after all human, smaller daily, the complete bottom line? I WEIGH LESS THAN HIM- HE DOES NOT LIKE IT told him I will not abort my losongs for his EGO. He has a BMI of 38,9, mine now(drumroll please) 35.7 if he is going to continue sniping better start on his own WLS journey, talk to PCP or my surgeon's about a sleeve, and stop throwing snowballs at MY PARADE, I have struggled hard to gain this loss!

Going from a drab grey to a lovely green.
Can’t post pics now because it’s really overcast today and the ceiling fan has been taken down and the lighting is horrible.
Hopefully by Monday I can post a progress pic

Did the squats and crunches. Taking today off from the gym. I went 5/7 days this week.

Went for a walk and ran into a neighbor who complimented me on my weight loss, so a good day so far.

Well, I did just come in from doing a tour of my yard looking for signs of growth. Other than that, outside has simply been the journey between my car and the gym, the market, the office, the groomers, and home. It was raining like the dickens this morning...I do have outside plans for tomorrow which may go along with that decluttering objective. We shall see. Yes, crunches and squats completed. :)

#13 Get Outside:

It was a beeeeautiful day today and me and the Kid went to watch Mr. play some tennis, then the Kid and Mr. played some tennis, and afterwards we (and by "we", I mean "they") got some funnel cake. Aside: I suck at tennis. Plus, I was wearing inappropriate shoes (heeled booties, lol).

Will head out again later tonite (on my own this time, sans the heels) for my daily walk around the neighbourhood.

Too bad tomorrow is not going to be nearly as nice.

I make it. Here is the link to the recipe https://www.theironyou.com/2014/05/cauliflower-crust-grilled-cheese.html?m=1.

I use low-fat cheese and I use coconut cooking spray instead of butter for the grilled cheese part. I can only eat half a grilled cheese but you can easily reheat this so I end up getting 4 meals out of this.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
