I want to get a good exercise routine going. I'm far to hit and miss right now. I want to lose 7 more lbs by my first fill Jan 24th. My big goal is to be down 60 llbs by the 4th of July. That puts me under 200 pounds for the first time in my adult life. I'm really going to have to work for that one, and I'm going to.

I want to be under 200 lbs(currently 245). I want to be in ONEDERLAND!!!!! Im starting a hike every Tuesday with my cousin. She said it is a 3 mile hike. I need to get my butt into motion. I've lost 34 lbs since August 27, 2010(day of surgery). I got off track a little for the holidays. This last fill i got on December 15, 2010 was awesome! I think i have hit my "Sweet Spot" but i still eat things i shouldn't. I dont eat them often or nearly as much as i used to. I gave up smoking 2 years ago after smoking for 21 years so i know i can do this. I havent been obese as long as i smoked. My goal ultimately is to get to 120 lbs. I love it when people tell me they can tell i've lost weight & they ask me how i did it(they dont know about my surgery) and i just tell them i changed my eating habits and started working out, which isnt a lie. Im starting to like myself again too. Im able to wear clothes that i bought a couple of years ago & i love it. It really does make you feel good about yourself. I know i can do this & i will.

Hey guys, I NEED to drink more Water, continue to exercise regularly despite my busy schedule (it is so easy to skip a day), and eat more Protein (I want to get more than the 60g I average).

1. Stick to my excercise routine.

2. Weigh and measure, drink and eat right.

3. Journal everything: eating, emotions, excercise.

I want to get a steady exercise routine going. I was banded in August and have only lost 17lbs since surgery, needless to say I am frustrated. I am hoping to lose 20lbs by summer.

1. Get back to writing down everything I eat (whether I want to or not). That's what keeps me on track.

2. Get back to measuring my food. It keeps me honest.

3. Keep track of how much Protein I eat. I bet it's a lot less than I think.

4. Drink more Water.

5. Keep exercising.

6. Try to lose one pound per week. Key word--TRY. Or maybe, as Yoda said, "There is no try, only do."

I think I might pull out my diet paperwork that I got before surgery and go over that. It might help to inspire me.

      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!
