RE: Re: Cravings for Vinegar post-op

[Guest guest]

As for the vinegar/pickle issue, some of you may recall that when I first

joined this list, some asked my " secret " for long term success. One of my

major " diet " secrets is dill pickles. It has been for over 20 years. When I

crave something sweet, I eat a pickle. It kills the sweet craving for me.

I haven't posted but once since I got home from the hospital. Surgery kicked

my butt a lot harder than I expected. But, my pouch has shrunk back to

immediate post WLS size, and I've lost 15 lbs. That's all I wanted to lose,

so I hope it stops there.

I got my hospital bill on Friday...$12,000 for just the hospital, not

counting surgeon and anesthesiologist. $6100 of that was pharmacy charges.

I'm calling the hospital in the morning to get a detailed billing on that.

Not that I have to pay it, but I' like to know what the heck they gave me

that cost so much for 4 days. No wonder we have to fight with insurance

companies...

Well, I guess I'll go wonder in bed...very tired. Now I see why the doc gave

me a 6 week recup time. And I have to get recuperated. Hubby is now

scheduled to go to Afghanistan for a year, Sept. 1, unless there's another

divine intervention.
