4th of July - WHAT WILL YOU WEIGH???



Recommended Posts

I'm afraid to try this. I lost 20 lbs the month before surgery on my diet, but on my 9 day check up after surgery hadn't lost a single pound.

Don't want to set myself up for failure, so:

Virginia S - starting weight 319...CW (4/27) 284...Goal 264...20 lbs.

How do I do a ticker for a short-term goal?

I'm going to try so hard to get this 10 off. I have been stalled since the beginning of March! I will do this in 11 weeks, i have to, then it is only 5 pounds to the Ultimate Goal!!! I started Zumba again, and I pray that this will help.

Well, since surgery for me is May 9th, I'm going for 180 - it's 24 pounds in just over 2 months; Here's hoping!

I'm super excited about this challenge. I put that my goal is 25, but I'm secretly hoping for closer to 30, so I could be in ONEderland. I'm 3 weeks post op, and hit a stall one week out, so I'm hoping that stall breaks soon! Been trying to get tons of fluids but having difficulty. Got cleared for the gym and stuff though, so I've been doing that.... I'm excited mainly to reach this goal because, I live in california and am visiting a friend in Vancouver, Canada on July 8th. She hasn't seen me in years, and hasn't ever seen me that small- heres to high expectations and hard work!

We almost have the exact same stats. I started at 216, and surgery day at 204...YOU CAN TOTALLY DO THIS! I'm a SUPER SLOW LOSER and I lost 23.6 lbs. the first 2 months :)

16,6 the first month and 7.0 the second.

Well, my weight loss is slowing down a bit, but plan to join fitness center as soon as finals are over in a week and a half, so I'll be ambitious. My surgery was June 29, so I'd really like to be in the 220s by June 29. Haven't weighed for a while so hopefully a little less than 250 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!
