So Frustrated



Recommended Posts

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I haven't lost weight since this summer. I didn't work out or watch what I was eating in Nov or Dec. so I know why I didn't loose weight those months. So this month I have been watching what I eat. I haven't been working our so maybe I need to start doing that....I have the bodybugg. Which I have been hitting a calorie deficiency of at least 1000 cals a day. I have been eating about 1000-1200 cals a day and burning at least 2200 a day. I getting my Protein in. And I haven't lost a pound.

Are you drinking plenty of Water? It is necessary to filter the waste from your body.

Eating an excess amount of sodium can make your body retain fluids. Have you been keeping sodium levels below 5,000 mg a day?

Are you sure you are entering everything you eat in the right amount? Everyone underestimates.

Check out the documentation on the bodybugg site: bodybugg

If you count my milk I am getting enough Water. Other wise its about six cups a day. I am most definalty not getting too much sodium. I hate salt. I know sodium is in other things but still I am positive I am good on sodium. And yes I have been tracking like crazy.

After the first week I had my phone coaching and I had lost a pound so she showed me well this is how many calories you burned and this is how many calories you probably ate. Opened my eyes and I was like OK I have to write down EVERYTHING. So I have.

One non-scientific way to tell if you are getting enough Water is that by afternoon your urine is clear and not yellow.

Stay positive, your weight may all fall off at once.

I don't know if I can add anything else. It sounds like you are doing everything right.

I burn an average of 1,500 calories more than I consume which averages to about 3 pounds a week. Some weeks I only lose 2 pounds and other weeks I drop 6 or 7 without doing anything different.

      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.

      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!
