Welcome back, my friend. :hug:

Welcome Back Telly!! :whoo:I didn't make it to the gym today, but I did chase around 6 little girls!! I have 2 girls and my bestfriend has 4! I had this crazy idea to have them over today for a pool party playdate! After swimming all day, playing dress up and going to Target (yes with all 6) I was to tired to hit the gym. I am sure there were a few calories worked off in there somewhere!

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!

Going for my first 20mph ride tomorrow....try to keep the avg. speed up around 14-15mph. Will depend on the amount of hills. :Banane27:

I haven't had a chance to ride much in the last week due to being out of town for work.

I've had chronic back pain since the age of 17 but it flared up really bad yesterday. I have no idea what I did to aggravate it, but I'm paying for it now.

I've been wanting to rollerblade the local 19.4 mile rail trail. I rollerbladed the whole thing. :(

That sucks. My wife struggles with the same thing....she is missing a vertebrae in her lower back....born that way. Everything is fine normally but if she works her back hard it tightens up like steel.

Hi, I was banded 7/25/06, had a little problem so they went back in on 7/27/2006 and fixed it. I woke up from the surgery with hiccups and could not even swallow juice or broth. So, two days later, they fixed it and anchored me much better. So, it has been a little over 2 weeks since they surgery. There have been a few days I felt fine. I have no pain from the surgery and everything should be ready for exercising. However, I am tired. I am really really tired at this point. I don't know if this is because I have so much on my mind or if it is because of the surgery. My life is very complicated right now, but physically and mentally so very tired. I have lost about 12 pounds. I just started eating cottage cheese and scrambled eggs a few days ago. I am getting hungry now, which did not occur the first 10 days.

Has anyone else felt tired and no energy with this surgery. I have read other people say that when they got over the pain of the surgery, they had great energy. How about you guys??

Thanks for your time,

Wild

Are you getting in enough Protein? If not, that may the reason why you're so tired. Protein is very important, now and later. :( Good luck to you.

      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!
