My wedding ring is too big and I won't be able to wear it for much longer.

It's a good thing cause I'm getting smaller but also a bad thing as I don't want to have it sized multiple times so I will have to go without it for a quite a while until I get to goal

I have been excluded from participating in my employers weight loss challenge. The supervisor said im too small. Never thought that would happen in life.

Finally decided to get my rings sized down 4 sizes! $$ but I cannot believe my fingers are this small! My drivers license picture does not work anymore. Guess it's time for the dreaded dmv line ????

this morning I was walking the dog at "dark thirty" wearing a tee shirt that I honestly thought before was just skimpy on the fabric as I bought it at Target last year. sometimes cheaper stores cut their shirts shorter.... anyway. I used to have to tug at it so my belly wouldn't sneak out and show someone (that belly I had was quite a flasher) I must have been stretching it side to side -_-

well darn if that shirt doesn't hang past my hips to the top of my thighs now that this fat suit is melting away. I'm now in danger of the v neck revealing something more substantial than flashing my tummy! so glad I wear it with a sports bra.

That's so smart! Thanks!

I'm getting married 20 August and moved to the UK a few weeks ago (my fiance is a Brit and because he is in IT and has a very good job, we decided to settle in the UK because as a mortician, I can work anywhere). When I was going through the TSA line, they had to call a supervisor over since I don't look anything like my passport photo anymore. I'm even smaller than I was in my fiancee visa picture, so they were even skeptical of that! It finally took a biometric check to get through x.x. It's a good thing that after we're married, I have to get a new passport with my new last name on it because when I travel, I don't want to go through that again!

Finally took a trip to Mexico with the hubby and rocked a bikini all week. I did things that were way out of my comfort zone like paddle boarding & snorkeling. So happy to have made these life choices with surgery, nutrition & exercise!

      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!
