Losing Slow At Very Beginning?



Recommended Posts

I know I am progressing. I feel so much stronger during my workouts. It would just be nice for positive reinforcement on the scale

I'm with you about the stall thing, Dana. I only lose weight one or two days out of the month. I'll be the same weight forever then one morning I weigh myself and I'm down 2-5 pounds. It seems I'm always in a "stall"

I'm like that too! I don't lose anything then I'll start my period and couple of days after I'll lose some weight then I'll just stay there until the whole process starts over again 0_o

Did that make sense??

Let me make a lot of you feel better ;)

Sleeved 9/26/12 244 today 209 yeah that's right a huge 35 lb loss in almost 5 months. I work out 5/6 days a week 2/3 hour a day get my food Water so on all in and spot on. Blood work hormones all norm. So as for slow I might get the gold. No my inches don't move btw not in the past 10weeks. Some ppl just don't loss as fast as others. If your not working out you have only your self to be upset with when your not loosing weight. Well I watch what I eat drink and how I workout and I get nothing blah. But you know what the weight will come off even if I have it get it sucked out and cut off. I have a 25K "I was self pay" Portion Control device for life. :P

I went to drs and nut yesterday, although weigh loss is slow they were pleased. I think I stress myself more about measuring up to what they think. My Dec appt was a bit stressful so I didn't know what to expect. My doc reminded me of my body structure and that I have more muscle mass then some of his patients. He also reminded me that it can take 18 to 24 months to get to goal. I have to go for a bone/fat scan thing because he wants to compare it to the first one. He said BMI is a good guide but does not give entire picture. I am happy. I think the pressure has been relieved with his positive reinforcement.

      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!
