Today I woke up around 9am ish and I still have no appetite just so you know. I Grab myself a Atkins chocolate Protein Shake for Breakfast (first time trying the chocolate kind and i felt fine after my first couple sips so I continued) and I still can only drink half at a time. When I was done it was around 10:00 and Had a few sips of Gatorade zero At 10:30. At around 10:45 I decided to go for a walk and made myself a task to walk around my court for 10 minutes since last week I would do you 5 minutes 2 times a day. Well today during my walk I felt fine I didn’t think I pushed it until I came back inside my house and sat down. I felt slightly nauseous. At about 11:00 The nausea I have had lesson so I decided to make an appointment to get my nails done and at around 12 I started to get more nauseous, more than earlier! I thought it’s fine it’ll go away like earlier so at 12:45 I started to get ready to leave for my appointment to the nail salon and I sit down crying from how nauseous I was. I felt like throwing up but I wouldn’t. I ended up calling at 1:15 to cancel my appointment. After that I was telling my mother whom stayed home with me last week just Incase and she was telling me to just rest and not go anywhere. So I lay down and fell asleep at 1:40 and woke up an hour later feeling like nothing happened.

Has this happened to anyone?

I haven't had my vgs surgery yet but I have had many other surgeries. I have tried to get back to normal to quick and have felt nauseous when I had over done it. We all heal differently and at different rates. Listen to your body ( which you did) and take it slowly. If it gets worse than call the practice you had your surgery and see if you need to be seen. Better to be safe then sorry.

I told my surgeon today at my follow up and he told me I probably over did it and with barely anything in me that caused it but he said that will happen and it’s nice to pin point

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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! 🤣
