January Newbies ! Progress ?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Jan 15th., and had my 1st. follow up today. I was 346 at time of surgery and am now 330. Been relatively painless. I stayed 2 nights in the hospital and only used the morphine for one day. Been walking a lot, but don't get too much gas. Have tried yogurts, Jello and pudding all tolerated well. Looking forward to upping workout and increasing the loss.

I had surgery Jan 4th. I lost 17lbs the first week and nothing since then :( can't figure out what is going on. Any thoughts? I have been walking at least 3 x a week.

I was sleeved on the 8th and dropped about 16 pounds the first week and nothing at all since. Pretty aggravating but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that its just our bodies adjusting and we'll start dropping pounds again in no time!!

Surgery was 10/18. My day of surgery weight was 179. Today I'm 173.2! Almost 6 pounds and not even a full week yet! I am only 5'2". I am so excited to see the scale move down and not be hungry!

I was sleeved on January 2nd. Starting weight was 286 and I'm down to 263. I'm 5'8". The first two days were tough. I was nauseated and hungry as hell. I was starting to regret it. A week out, I mourned food....literally. I was so depressed. It rained for two weeks straight, I couldn't go outside and I couldn't eat my beloved food. I was like a junkie detoxing. I was depressed and couldn't run to food for comfort. Gradually, the weight started coming off and I was no longer short of breath while walking or putting on shoes. My energy levels improved. My clothes were looser. I chew my food better, and I just need to slow my eating down. Today, I broke into a run chasing my daughter through the house : she said "momma! Do you realize that you actually RAN??!!" There was no breathlessness, either! These small victories are wonderful and make me plug on. It hasn't been easy but I would do it again. I have less pain in my weight-bearing joints, too. Every day I enjoy a new little victory. As hard as it was at first, I'd do it again tomorrow!

      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!
