Count me in for walking Friday night and most likely Sunday AM.

6pm Friday, ok, if not let me know, I can possibly get there by 5:30pm this Friday, just let me know

I just got home from my administrative assistant dinner with the bosses. We went to Carraba's up in chadds Ford. I was good, some baked scallops and shrimp and a few fried calamari. I passed on dessert and had Decaf coffee. It was so good and I ate it over a 45 minute period so it was not an issue with any pbing or feeling too full.

Talk wit you all later.

Look forward to another fun walking evening.

I would love to walk Friday night. 896/40 at the park?

I work at the University and I plan on starting the gym this weekend. But walking with a great group of people would help alot as well. Now, I have to ask, are you gals marathon walkers? I am NOT. :rolleyes2:

Cool Kim/Lynn! See you both at 6.

Kim - I am not a marathon walker! They kicked my butt the first time I walked. I huffed and puffed. We keep up a pretty good pace, but we are walking!

We usually meet by the trash bins near where the walking path begins.

Kim - we missed you? we waited until around 6:15 and when you did not show we headed out. Lisa showed up too. planning on 8:45am on Sunday, same place..

Lisa - I got home, showered and was out the door and after I got home from dinner I thought it might be too late to give you a call.

So I'll try SAturday morning to get hold of you, or you can give me a call.

Who else is planning on the support group meeting at APEX building on Tuesday night and the other meeting Wednesday night with Dr. Wynn?

You should consider walking at Longwood Gardens this weekend. I took the kids today, and the tulips are amazing! I think their tulips are my favorite display of the year. I doubt they'll last too much longer.

As for me - I had to cancel a fill today. :w00t: I didn't realize I needed a referral until they called this morning. I really need a fill, too. I don't think I've lost anything this month. I'm afraid I was lulled into a false sense of security due to my sucess thus far, and I let myself get pulled into the late-night salty munchies trap. That, and I know I'm just plain eating too much. *sigh* I've got to get myself back on track.

On the plus side, I made it to the gym today AND went to Longwood Gardens. The latter isn't exactly a power walk, but we covered quite a bit of ground.

I wish I could make it walking with the group. That sounds like fun.

I'll be there definately on Wednesday night not sure about Tuesday night. If you all are going then I probably will. However, that takes away from exercise time.

I know the groups take away from exercise time, and I do enbjoy the walks, I wish the meetings were at 7:30pm, we could walk and then go to them :w00t: but that is wishful thinking

I am free every night this week, but do plan on attending both meetings, at least for now.

I may try to get a walk in during the day on Tuesday. I am working half day and have a lull in detween my 2 doctor appts. anyone want to go to the dentist for me :tongue2:

See those who are walking Sunday 8:45am

Longwood gardens is a great place to visit, I have not been there in years

I am so sorry for missing you Friday night. I have 2 teenagers and my son had wrecked his girlfriends car. He is fine, THE CAR NOT SO GOOD. I will try to make walking this week if you have days in mind. Not sure I will make it in the morning.

Again, truly sorry. Thanks for waiting anyway.

See ya all tomorrow at 8:45 am. I can walk Monday and Friday. I will try to go to the meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday is a health fair and they will have displays and such. I want to go both nights. Hopefully, my son's father will be OK with that.

Yuck....fell off the wagon today. I am dusting myself off and getting back on. I definitely need a fill. There is a possibility I may call to try to get an early fill.....

Went to a wedding tonight. Did not have any food. Went after the food was served. Felling really good about that. However, had a glass of red wine. Did not bother me at all. Thought I would get sick. Maybe drunk. But I was ok. I am sure there was a lot of calories in that glass though.

Felt good to have a few pounds off my body and to wear a skirt. I like this loosing weight thing!!! Even got out and danced a bit on the dance floor.

three sixty six - glad to hear from you. finals have to be so time consuming. I always hated them and for law school. Not sure I would be handling that, but you hang in there, almost done with the semester.

At least you'll have a bit of relaxation time after finals before surgery....

As soon as you are up and around post op, join us for our walks. We are getting to do it on a failry regular basis. Of course the wether can always throw a wrench into that....

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
