Jenn S. checking in. I am at 224 so down another 2lbs. Yeah. That makes my total for the challenge 8lbs. This really helps so much to see it all at the end of the month. I'm almost at the 60 miles for the 60 mile challenge. I haven't stuck totally to the post op diet (darn thanksgiving!) Congrats everyone! Oh yeah and did I mention that I met my first big goal of weighing less than my husband? Well I do!

This is Terri by the way :) I didn't check in last week, but I had stayed the same. Good news is I am down to 256 this week smile.png Although, I didn't meet my weight loss goal, I did begin a great exercise routine. I am so ready for the next challenge.

I saw my goal for the month of 169 but unfortunately it only lasted one day. Thanks alot, Thanksgiving! My final weigh in for the challenge is 171.8. That's 2 pounds this month which is exactly what I've seen every month since about May! Oh well, bring on December!

Our last weigh in for November is on Tuesday

.

Who wants to do a December challenge?

Larry, what do you want to name the December challenge, that is me assuming and hoping that you'll do our December stats!!

.

Larry and I have a deal, if he does the stats he names the challenges!

My first thought would be the "Christmas Challenge" but that isn't politically correct and may be offensive to persons of other religions, of which I am one.

"The environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a religion at all Challenge" was way to long.

So let's just go with "The Holiday Challenge".

I was down below my goal on Thursday morning but after Thanksgiving and a wedding on Saturday night I gained some back. Managed to loose a little back on Sunday and Monday so Tuesday weigh in at 245.4, my goal was 245 so I am going to round down and say "GOAL ACCOMPLISHED".

Political Correctness sucks! Some could say the word Holiday is offensive to Jehovah Witnesses! We could just call it the Snow up to my A** Challenge. No wait, that won't work either. We have Aussies here and it summer there! confused.gifsign44.gif

well this was a pretty crummy month. I lost initially, but I do believe I have hit a plateau. I went for a fill on Friday, and was told I didn't need one. ( I still think I do, but because of my weight loss, I hit the 10 pounds in a month mark, therefore, I do't qualify). Anyway, I havent' been able to exercise because of pain in my knee, so I'm heading out today for a scan to see if there is a blood clot in there. If not, its an appointment with my PCP and then maybe my orthopeadic surgeon. (yay). I don't believe I am going to hit my goal of 75 pounds in 3 weeks.

anyway, I stayed the same, 248. I did however meet my personal goal of not worrying so much about dinner on Thanksgiving, so I'm happy about that.

See you all in December for the "Holiday Challenge!"

Well I was 224 the day after Thanksgiving which was 1 pound below my goal. Today of course I am 225. Which is my goal weight, so who can complain? I failed miserably on my other goals. Oh well. There is always next month!!

Pam checking in. 231.7 is my final weigh in. didn't make goal, but managed to lose a little less than a pound last week and FINALLY hit the milestone of 40 pounds lost. So I am happy with it all considering Thanksgiving was a hard food holiday to get through.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
