The Top 5 Things You Will Not Miss After Vsg



Recommended Posts

cherrybomb: that really does suck. Cookbooks, that I can understand as a gift (although it's rather a backhanded slap), but not an actual diet how-to book. That is downright mean. *hug* Perhaps you can find a "how-to survive plastic surgery" or "how-to win friends and keep from being a loser" book for the giver for this Christmas ?

Cookee, I HATE The Biggest Loser! It's not motivational to me. Maybe it is for some people, but not me. I just see a bunch of obese people put on display so people can laugh at them.

Maybe I'll feel differently when I'm thinner, I don't know.

I forgot about grandmothers....they do tend towards that type of thing. I tell myself it comes from a place of love... And try to just let it go :/

Geez. You'd had to go to extremes for a bit

Another one, I will not miss my feet KILLING me after any kind of prolonged walking. I want to take kiddos to the zoo without feeling like my feet are going to explode or break!

I also look forward to ditching all of my wide width, "comfortable" shoes for cuter ones!

What I always thought was funny is that people were eating during the biggest loser. I think it's a circus. I mean they exploit everyone now!!

I'm almost three months out, here's 5 things I don't miss:

* Sweating all the time. Hot flashes have also dropped dramatically.

* Bras not fitting. My cups no longer overfloweth.

* Gorging myself at parties, but if there is shrimp I am on it.

* Knocking things over with my huge saddlebags.

* Not being able to find anything that fits at the thrift store. I emptied my closet and am having a blast refilling it on the cheap.

1)I won't miss feeling unattractive no sexual energy. I wonder why and how I am still married

2)I won't miss ppl making comments like remember how thin she was when she was younger. Or how pretty she would be if she lost a few pounds.

3)sweating I will never forget this sitting down in a nice summer turquoise dress and when I got up it was soaked.

4)I won't miss wearing spanks or girdles all year round.

5)I won't miss changing over and over again because nothing looks right or good.

I will not miss

1: sweating profusely even when the weather is freezing and having people ask if I'm sick

2: looking for any excuse to wear pants with an elastic waist band

3: feeling my chin on my chest when I'm curled up in bed

4: friends trying to set me up with overweight males because apparently that's all I can attract

5: the feeling of being embarrassed to eat anything other then a salad in public because I think people are judging me

That's just the tip of the iceberg there are many other things I WON'T miss :)

      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.
