Hi all,

Yahoo! Big loss this week to make up for a slow week last week and I've only got .2 to go to my Halloween goal and less than 5 lb.s to a normal BMI!!! Also I have a new second number: I'm in the 150s!!

My Mom was here this week and I did a lot more running around. I ate more too though. I'm eating more at each meal. The change in my capacity seems kinda sudden, but whatever it is, I'm OK with it. I can eat a small normal meal now. Last night for dinner I had 1/2 piece well-toasted whole wheat bread, about 1/8 C. cooked spinach, and 21/2 ounces sea bass.

So, It's been forever since I checked in- because I've been pretty sad. I started the challenge at 194, bounced down to 189, then back up to 191 and hit a 5 week stall (at 5 months post op, which I hear is normal?) . I tried everything to shake up my routine and NOTHING helped. The scale JUST moved back down to 189 again. Anyway, needless to say I am not going to make my goal of 179, however, I am hoping for 187-185 for my halloween goal. Hopefully no more stalls between now and christmas cause I have some major catching up to do! LOL

Since I decided to go back to the basics until the challenge is over, I won't weigh again until Halloween. I think I'm going to push for a really crazy goal weight for the next challenge. I want to be in onderland before Christmas!

I am not sure if I am going to make it to my goal. I had several weeks with very little lost, but I am moving again.

Definitely no way I am making this goal. Pretty frustrating, I have lost 6 pounds only since labor day. I am not going to change my ticker, the scale did say 292 one day last week but it is steady at 295 for the last 4 days. I have been taking my Vitamins every day for 5 days straight and today I am starting to log my food the way I should have been all along.

Started the challenge on Sept. 12th at 178. Today I'm 171. I'm happy with the -7 lb. loss because I had a two week stall. Still feel like my goal of 165 is doable. The 160's are so close! I finally went and bought some new pants a couple weeks ago. I've worn the slacks once and when I put them on today they are already loose! Can't believe I have that problem already. Not complaining though.

Today I reached my Halloween goal of 165! Ended up having a second stall so I wasn't sure I'd make it. Like a lot of people, I lose in stair step fashion. Feels really good to meet this goal! I'm going to treat myself to a new pair of pants that fit my smaller bum. :)

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!! Just 1lb to go in 1 week, really no idea if I can do this, but giving it my all!

To be honest that extra lb will be the cherry on the cake for me, today I hit a "normal" BMI, when I told my DH that I'd achieved it he said "well done on getting back to that BMI, baby I am really proud of you" I didn't have the heart to tell him that this is the first time in our 13 year relationship that I have been this weight, so its something new for both of us!

;)

God luck for the final week of the challenge folks!!

      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!
