So many NSV's this last week. I am at a loss for where to start, so I won't.

I'll go more towards the end. It was a small victory, but one that sorta dawned on me after it'd happened.

Had a perfect week....ending with a long night. Next morning light was harsh and scolding. lol.

I needed coffee. Blessed coffee. I knew just the spot and they had just the right brew. Next, I needed a place to hole up and sip a bit.

An inviting looking nook but the chairs looked liked they'd been made for a little girl's tea set. lol.

No way I'd fit....and no way it'd hold my big arse.

I did........ it did........ and that was some good damn coffee with a nice breeze coming through and the sun on my face. Peaceful times. Serene.

So you all know I've been swimming in the cesspool that is online dating. People don't go on "first dates" anymore, they go on "meet and greets". I feel so old. I get it, though, you're not stuck sitting through a dinner with someone you have nothing in common with.

Last night I had a first meet. We went to the park near my house, and all of the seating areas were full. They converted part of the park to a skateboarding area, so it's a lot busier than it used to be. My date suggested sitting on a grassy hill. My first thought was, am I going to be able to get my happy arse up off the ground afterwards??

I pretty much hopped right up when we were done talking! I was grinning like a mad woman!

So it's a half nsv/ half sv...I'm only 20 lbs from a "normal" weight/bmi...I don't remember the last time I could say that. It's funny because I am really quite pleased with my weight now, my personal goal is just 3 pounds more, and now I am a bit curious...just a nice "dilemma" to have :)

I just realized I'm posting in the wrong forum...I just saw nsvs and got excited lol.

The scales hasn't really moved. But I just tried on a size 10 jeans! I fit!!!! That's always been a goal I wanted to reach. I've never been a size 10 even as a teenager. Always a 12 and up. I asked my mom how they liked and she said, I think they're a little loose! So tried on a misses 11, and it fit too!!! Was a little snug, but not tight!! I can't believe it! Size 8 here I come!!!

LMAO.

I wouldn't have been caught dead wearing shorts for the last several years due to the staining on my lower legs from crappy circulation.

It is the sole reason I've been going to the tanning spot.....just to camouflage the stains with a tan.

Now.....for the first time in many years I am wearing shorts in public.

This pic as taken this past Tuesday morning as I was leaving the tanning spot.

Bad looking varicose veins and scars all over both knees from football field mishaps.....I couldn't care less. Comfort is gong to be had this Spring & Summer. Shorts will be worn.

Getting rid of this weight feels so damn good. There is zero downside to being less fat. So damn grateful. So far yet to go, but truly happy with the decision to have the sleeve surgery.

      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
