Hey guys! I posted a long thread in the other March 2020 post but wanted to say hey to everyone on here also. Somebody wrote about wanting a cheeseburger and I can definitely concur. I would love some french fries and a hazelnut coffee...lol. So I definitely need to do some mental work! After surgery I'm not physically hungry but mentally is a totally different beast. After the difficulties of the past week I just want to soothe myself with food. Anybody else feeling this way?

@Slimmy-mommeee Girl, you are preaching to the choir here! I was a total foodie! I dream of food lol. I start going back to my therapist next week and I’m excited to discuss these things with her. I may be generalizing but I think a lot of folks with a weight problem also have an emotional connection to food. You are def not alone, I feel you. I keep looking on the mirror now though. I know it’s only been 8days but I already “feel” smaller if that makes sense. Not just physically. It’s weird. Putting out those positive vibes and looking forward to the summer FINALLY this year!

@CammyC lol Yesssss to enjoying the summer! And I feel lighter and smaller. And what's crazy is how much my stomach has deflated in such a short time. I noticed my shirts aren't as tight. These little changes make me even more excited about what's coming.

My surgery is March 25
I hope it is not postponed because of this virus outbreak


it shouldn't impact the surgery schedule.

I feel you big time. VSG on 3/3, and I’m grumpy because I want to EAT. I’m craving a giant portion of pad thai and spring rolls. Wish I could wake up tomorrow and have those comfort cravings vanish. BTW - is anyone in Boston? Would love local support buddies.

3/3 surgery as well and I'm craving chewing. I'm only craving certain food because I can't have it. I want a Turkey burger slider and some chips or fries. If I could eat unrestricted , I'd have some grilled fish, zucchini and salad - my norm. We are like children, we only want all of those cravings because we can't have any of the other stuff. I'm tired of broth, Premier, full liquids and not chewing...

@Krimsonbutterflies Yes I am cold all of the time now. Before my thermostat was set to 68-71 and I would still be hot. Now it is at 73 and I'm freezing. Keep in mind it's almost 60 degrees outside. Smh

Hello, question to anyone who has had recent surgery. I am 11 days post op and have not had my post op appointment due to the craziness of the Covid-19 virus it was postponed. Since surgery I have had intermittent itching to my stomach, not the laparoscopic incisions, but to my stomach. When I scratch i have little welts that come and go. Has anyone else experienced this?

      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!
