Yup.....I get that a lot too. It doesn't bother me. I get more annoyed when people ask me how much I've lost. That's such a personal thing to reveal, I don't have a problem posting it here but I do feel awkward giving my weight loss numbers to some skinny person who prob doesn't relate at all to my struggles.

The other day while at Lowe's, I was told that I don't look old enough to have a teenager. (I do, I am, I dont't; he won't be 13 nil December. LOL!). It felt good to hear, so I graciously accepted the compliment.

I hope I look younger. I've been told recently I have a baby face, but I always felt my weight aged me. It was awesome when I was a teen- people always thought I was at least 20, I would get away with being able to drink when i was underage (I know, I know...BAD me!) but now that I'm approaching my mid 20's (scary thought!) I feel like it's not such a good thing and may be making me look older then I am which isn't something I want anymore lol. So I'll happily take people carding me for PG movies some day!

Right now I'm often told I don't look my age (48). I'm afraid that once

I'm sleeved and start losing weight, my face and neck will un- plump and I'll look so much older that my age!

I hope I get that comment!

Last year at my birthday an acquaintance asked me how old I was and another one said "Ooooh I wasn't sure if I should ask or not cause I wasn't sure how old you are..."

I WAS TURNING 24! I was like "Noooooooooooooooo - I look old enough to care?!" We all had a good laugh about it, but I was kind of sad that I looked old enough to be concerned =p

I started getting told that I look younger almost immediately. I've only lost 30 pounds so far and the more I lose, the more I hear it.

Yes- just last week a guy came up to talk to my hubby and I in the park- he mentioned how nice it was for me to be there walking with my DAD! Lmao! To his defense I dont wear my wedding ring right now because it's a size 9.5 and now I wear a size 6.5- but still!

It was so funny :)

      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.
