Ok so finally had surgery yesterday so I can join in the fun!

Highest weight 268.6

Surgery weight 228.9

Goal weight 218.0

I have no idea how fast or slow I'm going to lose right away' date=' so I'm just picking a good number.

So I'm already down to 209.2 so with 8 days to go, I would like to get down to 204. I'm losing fairly slowly so don't want to shoot for the moon.[/quote']

I just came from my pcp office. With my denim jeans on (I would have dressed in my scrubs if I had known I was getting weighed today lol) I weighed 209.6 on my scale before I get dressed I was down to 206.8 this morning. Now if I can make it to onederland by the end of the month I will be so happy! Congrats to all of us!

Congratulations to everyone who made their goals and everyone who tried. Working toward the goal is a big accomplishment too. I know I weight so much less than I did last Valentine's day and who knows where I'll be a year from now. I didn't make my goal, still 8 lbs off. What's the next challenge? Any ideas?

Made my goal of 175 a few days ago. Now, I'm down to losing these last 20 pounds. Hopefelly it will get me into size 10/12 jeans. Very frustrated to be stuck in size 14s.

I'm a little late reporting my results. My goal was 151. I had a freaking 4 week stall!!!!

So my weigh in for Vday was 156 lbs. I did still loose, but nothing like I have in the past.

But ..its ok!!! I feel amazing and am very happy. Looking forward to the next challenge.

Well better late then never. Finally hit my Valentine's Day goal on 2/23!!!

My major stall broke and dropping at a faster pace again. It is completely surreal for me to continue to see a "1" at the beginning of my weight!!!

On to the Spring challenge!!!

HW = 278

SW (7-17) = 267.6

CW = 195

GW = 195 :-)

      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!
