New Biggest Loser 9/21 - Lapband Failure Contestant



Recommended Posts

Yep, she's done a great job. I just don't like how all the women keep falling under the yellow line.

I would love to see them do a show just for women and one just for men. I think the results would be more accurate that way.
That's why the years they do couples seem to work better, I think. Especially early in the season, when there is such a disparity between the progress of the men and women.

As the seasons progress, it seems like the women often have the edge. We always wind up with one or two who really, really kick ass.

I really wish they would move that yellow line, it's really taken the fun out of it. Did anyone notice when they were eating at Bob's they didn't act like the food was really that good?

I'm sure she feels like that sometimes. But I don't think it has anything to do with the way they look I think it's when they aren't working as hard as she thinks they can. I give those people credit, I know I would kill over if I spent even 20min. with Bob or Jillian.

I believe she blamed her home life since she was 14 when she had it done, and her mother didn't (still hasn't) changed the food available to her and I believe she has a sister???? At that tender age, it's hard to argue with your authority figure.

Hate to jump into a post this late in the game, but I thought at the beginning of the show they said she had bypass? I love the show but it is unrealistic how much the people work out. Like a previous poster said, who has time after the show to work out 7 to 8 hours a day?

Rick looks Amazing! But I am really getting tired of the game playing.. when did the weight not matter anymore? I wish the person with the lowest % goes home and be done with it... I am really debating even watching it anymore...

I love the show too but it gets pretty ridiculous. I sure don't want to have paramedics standing by with defibrillators when I work out. And I don't think a person has to puke to have a good work out either. By the way, I am kind of new and wondered how do you all get your surgery dates, fill dates and all that other information above your ticker? Thanks!:cursing:

I was really starting to like Rick, too. This was only Week 5 and there is SO much game play going on, I'm getting really tired of it. It makes the show less interesting.

The girls totally could have teamed up against Frado or Brendan, I was hoping they would. I really thought nobody would vote for Rick, but I guess threats are more important than helping your team.

I was really surprised to see Rick voted out. Seems like it's still early, and you would want to keep a strong player on the team.

      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! 🤣

      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!
