That does sound good. Is it a special brand, where did you purchase

Local Chinese restaurant, most should have it. I strain out the wontons for the rest of the family, I get the broth. I suppose you could do the same with egg drop if that’s your preference.

Had my VSG surgery on Friday the 3rd. The day of surgery, I was out of it and really didn't get up and walking until 12 hours after surgery. I didn't have any nausea or bloating and was only slightly tender. The only pain I really had was a headache.

Doctor's protocol: Day of surgery nothing by mouth, Day 2 ice chips and delicious slushies.

I am being discharged today and flying home to my fellas (husband and furbaby). I will update the experience in a couple of days.

Best to all.

Same...March 3rd. Have been doing a modified liquid diet for several days (my choice) but the doctor required 7 day pre-op diet stared today.

Wishing all a speedy recovery and great success.

I have an ESG scheduled for March 15, 2023. Crazy thing is I'm worried about giving up champagne. No bubbly, ever, seriously?

Lol!! I feel you. I do not drink except at a special occasion/work dinner but I enjoy champagne. You’ll probably be able to get around to it after a very long time but it’s probably healthier to moderate so you don’t feel bloated, I would imagine?

I felt the same way about beer. I never drank a lot, but a nice beer with the right food combo will be missed. I loved to have a Pilsner with dry cheese and bread, yummy.

Picked up won ton broth at the grocery store - was cool they sold it as broth with a recipe on the box if you want to add ingredients for the Soup

      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!
