First posting was on Sept. 5th. Well, it feels like it's going pretty slow, but today is Oct 5th and I've lost 7 lbs this past month. I just might make goal!

So, my weight loss is SO slow lately... I was at 194 at the start of this, then I went down to 189, now I bounced to 191, but I'm sure it'll go back in a couple days.. I don't think I'll make my Halloween goal but I think I'll be at least 185.. I'd be okay with that. Slowly but surely the weight is coming off. I HAVE however, bumped up the workouts so we'll see. Its still the very beginning of october.

Today I hit the 11's - how AWESOME!!!! My mind seems to have got stuck at 14 stone something, and so now every time I weigh that is what I expect to see, when 11.13 popped up this morning I just stood and cried with joy.

I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!

I usually post to this thread midweek since i started it that way. I am doing well. I have not lost in the last three days but my TOM is here and so I think that might be attributing to it. I think I can do this! I have about 4 weeks left and thats only about 2 lbs a week! I am going to give it my all. Good luck everyone!

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.

Hi all,

Over the last two weeks I have lost 4.4 lbs. so I'm back on track after a small weight loss week Sept. 16-23. I'm in the under 30 club and I'm so excited! Just .4 lbs to go and I've lost 90 lbs. since I began my pre-op diet Feb. 15.

I was on vacation last week so I didn't do my Friday check-in last week. I'm entering a weight of 166 for that week because I weighed that the day we left on vacation. I did a good job of getting Protein and fluids on vacation. I used a simple sticky note to track Protein grams and Fluid intake every day. Only had to use the Protein powder one day! I didn't exercise the week we were on vacation. Hubby's health keeps him from doing much, even walking a fair distance, so we did sedentary things throughout the week. As soon as I got home, I'm back in the saddle, working out every day except Monday, my day off.

I notice the last few weeks I've been hungrier and I can eat a bit more (2.5 ounces sometime!) of solid protein than I could before. Still under 800 calories every day though.

Halloween Goal:

I'm down another 2.2 lbs! I'm so glad I've gotten out of the dreaded 3 week stall and am losing weight at a steady pace now :)

9/9 - 200.2

9/17 - 198.6 (I broke the stall and into Onederland!)

9/24 - 196.8

10/2 - 193.3

10/6 - 192.1

10/7 - 191.1

I'm not weighing myself at regular intervals- I need to get into that habit! I just weigh myself whenever I'm curious about my weight.

The day I started this challenge (or pretty close to it), I went into an 11 day stall. It was frustrating, but I learned from it. I think I am starting to realize that I am sensitive to carbs. I also realized a few things about relying on the actual nutrition label and not what the box promotes (and that net carbs mean there are hidden carbs).

I have reached the two month mark, so I now have no weight restrictions and have started working out primarily using a stability ball and some weights as well as upping my walking. And after 11 days, I finally was able to record a loss. I'm not sure I'll make my goal by Halloween, but I will get there. :)

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
