Recommended Posts

Hi !!!

My pre op diet 3/23/12 banded 4/6/12 starting weight 339 at start of pre op diet.I posted my first milestone which was getting under 300 lbs which I did June 12.my next 2 milestones were close together

1. Get to pre / post pregnancy* weight of 291

2. Lose 50 lbs and be at 289

Well yesterday I was 289 YES!!!

I have a loooong way to go but I'm moving along.Reading the stories and advice on here has been crucial to me moving forward. I hope my milestone check in also helps some one :-)

my next milestone is a bit far off.It is to get to my nursing school weight of 260.but I think I will try to check in every 10 lbs or so.

* I weighed 291 June 2008 just befor getting pregnant with my son.6 weeks after giving Burt I was back at 291.So I gained 48 lbs in 3 yrs.:-( BUT it's coming off now WOO HOO !! *

Congrats!!! I remember losing my first 30 lbs and my walking was faster and sexier.

I have 47 more lbs to my goal. If I'm happy with just 37 lbs, I'll leave it @ that. My Dr. wants me to get down to 170, and its been over 25 yrs since I've been that weight. I started @ 285 and never thought I would be to where I am today. Just take it one day/pound @ a time. You'll get there. I am :D

Way to go!! Keep up the good work!! I'm day 3 of my pre-op diet, surgery on August 23rd. First two days no worries, not too hungry today OMG! I did exercise this morning so my body just may need a little more energy. I'll have to do a 2 pm shake today. I can't wait until next Thursday!

I know exactly how you feel. It gets better.if u exercised u may want to get in a few more calories.adding the shake is right .I couldn't cope .after 3 days if pre op I called the Doc and asked if I can do something else.they said I can have 2-3 oz of Protein once a day if was really hungry.I had one small piece of fish or chicken at dinner every day for the duration of the pre op phase.

      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!
