My Holiday Plan: Join me or not.



Recommended Posts

Not a life-long committment, just for the weekend.

I'm going to go through these juvenile posts and put the names of those I consider to be major sources of discord on "Ignore."

Because of this action, I'm going to have a relatively Bullshit-free holiday weekend.

I encourage y'all to do the same (we don't all have to choose the same irritants, each of us is free to pick their own irritants)...or whatever YOU think will make YOUR visits here more pleasurable.

Ciao...

Sue

Hi Geezer,

Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the Water.....

Hows the DS treating you? I am kinda jealous at the moment since I have an empty band. Went on the DS web site on obesityhelp recently and all I saw was all kinds of talk about how much yall were eating and still losing.

None of this bandster drama there with them DS folks... but a few that seem to whine when they are not losing after eating 4000 calories... Well I don't feel sorry ! LOL With all my problems as of late with my band and throat, I am ready for conversion... Beam me up Scotty..... I think the problem is that I will probably lose too much if I did that... (Wait did I say too much loss?) Another lifetime perhaps....!

Would you feel better if I told you I didn't lose a pound this last month? (But I think 4000 calories is a kind of lowball bid...lol)

In my book, you are one of those SB's!

Great advice, Sue. The drama reminds me of the cruelty children can show when they attack another child for being fat (something I experienced). The sad thing is, these people can't blame it on childhood innocense. They INTENTIONALLY hurt one another.

Hey wait geezer!

Its the diet pills that are talking. I popped a Phentermine this morning. I take one every 3 days and they keep me from overeating while on liquids. Figured I might as well lose weight at the same time I am doing my liquids only thing. Technically, I am done with this, but I figured what the hell, I might as well keep going since I am not hungry.

I'll be nice. I am so sad about your lack of weight loss this month on your 4000 calorie a day plan. Maybe you should cut it back to 3500? LOL

I give a crap, Babs. Haven't seen you in ages, but I have followed your posts and I feel your pain about not losing. I'm afraid to have my band loosened, but dang it's tight sometimes. Other days I can eat a whole bag of Cheetos (and don't anyone tell me that just because I can, doesn't mean I should....I KNOW that already!). I will now only buy Cheetos in those little bitty snack size pkgs - still 160 calories each. YIKES!

They now have little bags of cheetos in snack size bags with 100 calories. They are awesome. My mom gets hers at Walmart. They are called 100 calorie mini-bites and are made by Frito-Lay. I eat them myself and can't tell the difference.

      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
