Its TOM and I gained a pound. I am not changing my ticker in hopes I am back down next week. Getting this goal is really hard at the end of the journey. I have been this weight up and down for two weeks now. I sure hope I drop again soon. My personal goal and labor day goal is 135 and I sure would like to reach it and stay there!

Starting weight 180

Goal weight 175 (literally goal weight, LOL!)

Pounds to go: 5

Well, nothing like starting a challenge and then dropping out of sight. :) But here I am, and I'm down a couple of pounds, losing typically slowly here at the very end. At least it's still coming off!!

Starting weight: 180

Goal weight: 175

Current weight: 178

Strategies that seem to be working:

1. Cut back on the cheese--my cheese-a-holic nature is still present, but I have tried to stay away from it on a few days, and I think that has made a difference.

2. Eating less in general--I haven't been all that hungry. Don't know if it's the heat or what--don't really care.

3. Staying busy and moving around. Exercise is still not happening, but we've been re-doing my office and getting an apartment and our guest room cleaned out, painted, and arranged, and that's some physical labor.

Goals for the next couple of weeks:

1. Water. I am dehydrated. I need to focus on drinking even when I don't feel thirsty.

2. Greens every day. My lack of this now is just laziness on my part--I don't feel like cooking, because I'm not really all that hungry. But the nutrition benefits are worth the effort.

3. Stay busy, move around, burn calories. I'm not going to call it exercise. :)

Good luck, y'all! Love to see everybody pursuing their goals and having good success!!

      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!
