WTH?! 3 days post and you are all dolled up and out and about! You and @mousecat88 are made of the same stuff. Jeez.

Irrational fear alert: Y'all know as soon as I don't put on proper clothes and go outside I'll be stranded at Gala, board an international flight or get invited to Art Basel and be seen by everyone on earth

I refuse to be in the "people of Walmart"... 😳

Good on you @GreenTealael. There’s nothing like dolling yourself up to lift your spirits.

I bet it was the lure of that coffee and the sunshine that drew you outside. But I’d be home in sweats too in the arctic temps of Canada @ms.sss.

Good luck with the job interview @Winchell. You’ll kill it.

I am not shocked at this turn of events. HOWEVER, I would like a closer picture of your shoes. They look super cool.

I wore a new dress today. And, umm, should have ordered a medium. AND my favorite cardigan is now pretty loose on me. I am going to see if I can hunt out the exact same sweater on Poshmark But in a medium or (gasp) a smallThe dress still works okay a bit big. I am not used to having legs show. Skirts of that length have never been part of my wardrobe. When I looked in the mirror this morning, I thought the length was perfectly work appropriate and that leggings weren’t necessary. Ummm, yeah, it WAS fine until I sat down and crossed my legs without thinking 😂 I’m not used to being able to cross my legs either. Thankfully I didn’t have a ton of meetings today. I did get lots of compliments on it, so maybe I just need to learn how to sit without flashing the world.

I love this picture of you. And it’s not just because it looks like everything fits. Your expression, etc. is great. And so is the outfit!

So a couple weeks before xmas I ordered a pair of these faux leather leggings after I saw the awesome pic @BayougirlMrsS posted of herself wearing a pair. They were delivered just after I got my PS done so I hadn't had a chance to try them on... until today! I've still got my compression garments on so you can see the outline of my stomach binder through the material, but all in all I love 'em!

Totally looking forward to actually wearing them outside of the house as soon as my swelling goes down (right now from the side I look about 3 months pregnant).

I put on a pair of boots just for this picture, but duh, I failed to put a shirt on to cover my upper body compression garments. Though the end result made me look and feel like a super-hero or something, LOL...just need a mask and a cool comic book name...

I think the outfit looks way cool even the functional garments! Now you really are our Bond girl! Totally AWESOME. Wow.

      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
