Went for second fill. They were happy with the progress and I am a little. I got on the scale lost about 4 more pounds. I need to update my ticker. Hunger staying away a little longer but I find some says are different than others. Anyone else experience that? One day the hunger stay away longer than someday?

Hey ladies I hope all is well. I'm doing well not much weight loss but I know i'm losing inches especially in stomach (not complaining about that at all) :D . On 7/23 I got a fill(#3) which brought me up to 6.8cc and i'm finally starting to feel the restriction. I've gotten stuck A LOT at-least once a day but that's just a reminder to me to take smaller bites, slow down and chew. I'm going back on the 6th i'm going to ask for .2cc and I think I should be good for a while with that. Workouts have been good 1-2hrs session but I only go on Saturdays and Sundays the workout is murder on my hair. I'm getting braids next week so I don't have an excuse anymore ;). Also after this last fill I noticed that i'm really tight when my cycle starts so going forward I will do liquids and really soft foods during the 1st couple of days. And it looks like i'm tight in the AM also I get hungry around 10-10:30. I'm excited b/c I think I might be departing the band-er hell phase...lol I'm praying that the pounds start falling out. And i'm praying for all of you stay encouraged and focus. ~Cia~

My stuff always go down easy. You ever thought you might just be eating right? I have yet to get stuck and that's what they don't want. Didn't you have a fill last week?

Lol I never been stuck. I told that to the PA she said well your doing things right. I worked out last night and did some upper body workout. My arms were burning. I'm going to move up to 7 days a week. That 30 minutes 5 times a week the PA said was the bare minimum. So I'm going to kick it up she said I would see more weight loss.

I had my surgery on Monday (aug 5). Doing well now. First night I had a case of dry heaves (nothing in the stomach to come up). It scared the crap out of my husband who immediately wanted to call the paramedics. Other than this horrible pain in my shoulder, I feel fine now. Just trying to get the Water in, but I just don't have any desire to eat or drink right now.

      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!
