No loss this week. Bummer! I pretty sure I won't lose 7lbs before the 4th so it doesn't look like I'll make goal. It was a tough week! Moving forward....and downwards!

Awwww, doesn't look like I will make it either (well, maybe if I go hard-core low-carb..=), but I am happy with what I have lost so far. Got myself into onderland, too!biggrin.gifCan't complain!!!

Hopefully I will have lost another pound by the 4th which will put me at 30 pounds lost for this 4th of July goal and that makes me so hopeful!!

Good luck everybody! We're in the final stretchsmile.gif

Still holding at 205 so looks like I'm gonna fall short on this one. However I set this goal (to be under 200) LAST July 4th so I'm pretty darn happy to be this close. :)

I haven't checked in for a while...I had a 6 week stall which has finally passed. The scale has been moving although very slowly. I won't make goal but that is okay. I am losing weight and have not put anything back on. I had moved this goal date up from the end of the month which is my 30th class reunion and there is a good chance that I still may make that original date I had set. We have just bought a house so I had been spending a lot of time packing and working overtime and not getting the walking in like I should. Now at my new house, I can walk down to a small lake that has a walking path around it-the total trip is 2.12 miles so I am doing that every night after work now. Boxes can be unpacked later-walking is more important right now.

Here is my update so far

"I want to weigh what I did on the day I got married on this 4th of July"

SN.........................Starting...Current...Goal.......Lbs to Goal

Weight Weight Weight

SKCUNNINGHAM......253.............208...........175............33pounds

Currently - I am weighing 185 on Doctor's scales and 175 on mine and have lost 23 pounds since this challenge. At 4 months, I have hit my first stall :angry: - I have been sitting right where I am for over a week. Thought I was going to make this challenge - but unless 10 pounds magically falls off in the next few days - I am going to miss it. I may have to push the goal date out to the end of July.

I'm posting in for the first time on this thread. I had a "secret" goal to have lost 50 pounds by July 4. Since my surgery was April 18, I really thought this would be a no-brainer---but I've been sort of stuck at -48 pounds for the last few days. I think I lose in stairsteps, though, and I'm definitely not gaining any weight (LOL--not enough calories in to do that!). So I'm going to be in the final push of adding some more exercise to see if I can't get there by Monday... and Water, water, water!!!

Good luck, all! Let's get that July 4 goal!!!

Wow... I am NOT kidding you it gets REALLY HARD the further out you are and the closer to goal. I have to literally fight tooth and nail to lose anymore. That's ok, I'm a WARRIOR and I'm going to GET THERE!! Will I make this goal? I highly doubt that but I'm danged proud of how hard I've been working and I've had many many NSV's in this time. I cannot and WILL NOT be disappointed in myself, my efforts or my successes!! :woot:

Okay everyone... We only have 3 more weigh days until our challenge here is up! HUGE CONGRATS to ALL OF YOU whether you have made goal or not. You all hang in there and I am sooo proud of all of you. Keep it up - and if you are close... GO GIT UM!!!! :xena_banana:

      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!
