Only 1# down this week. I am going to try to start drinking more Water. I never get in my fluids. I am also going to add lemon; it is a diuretic and also makes you absorb 1/3+- less carbs (glycemic index). So here goes...let's see how the next 7 days go :0)

I joined the Century Club this week!!

Ok, my Gw for this challenge was 145 lbs and last week I actually got to 146 lbs. So I was shy about 1 lb to my goal. However, this AM I was at my high bounce of 150 lbs. So sad. I had a very emotional weekend, both my MIL and FIL have passed away within 2 months apart and family are behaving horribly. So also mourning the loss of BIL and SIL. :( However, this is life and now it's time to kick myself in gear and get on with life. I have realized this past weekend that I really love my life. I am so fortunate to have this realization bc now it's time to move on. Yayyyyyy! I did make a ton of bad food choices, and now it's time to kick my A** and get back with taking care of my personal needs and desires. :)

I will now engage in eating healthy, protein's first, fresh veggies, low carbs Low carb (from veggies only), absolutely no chips, especially no cheetos, and increasing my exercise.

:)

I need to lose at less 4 lbs and this I can do with The basic bootcamp program my LilMissDiva! Thank you Irene. Now it's time to get my A** in gear and do it. :)

Family drama always SUCKS! I am so sorry you had to go through this, but it sounds like you are moving through this and still focused. It will get better. It's amazing how deaths in the families can bring out the worst in people. Although I would prefer to have a family that I am close to, the fact that I'm not, makes me so glad that I don't live close to them. Sometimes we just have to do what is best for us.

Hang in there!

Niahri: thank you for your kind words. :) It makes me happier. and easier to deal with the issues at hand.

former_vgb: Your right, family drama sucks. We probably won't have to deal with them much longer. We have some legal issues and then going through IL's belongings, distributing them among 2 sisters and a brother, and selling the house as is. Then we are done with the BIL and his spouse. This BIL wants so badly to have a close relationship with my hubby (his brother), but his behaviors demonstrate the opposite. Crazy times. i will get past this, but for now, I think my emotions are more important and staying focused on my diet. :) I so love my life, after all, I could be in the same boat as the BIL and his spouse, very unhappy and manipulative. ;)

      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.

      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! 🤣
