I can address both the problems with the chart:

1. Whenever I want to go to one of the spreadsheets I have access to I type into google search "google documents" and it gives me the link to all the documents that I am authorized to work on. The link is docs.google.com.

2. For the next challenge, I could change up the spreadsheet so that we could have a column for each week's entry so that we could see that we "lost 1, gained 2, stayed the same, lost 10, etc, throughout the weeks". I'll start thinking (and working) on this for the next (Christmas? New Years?) challenge.

I lost 3 lbs this week! So excited, this first fill is helping so much in the hunger department. :thumbup:

That makes 5.4 lost for the challenge, 9.6 to go.

Hope everyone had a great week.

I can't access the chart without a google username and password. I don't have one of those. So I haven't updated anything. How does one access the chart?

I think if you don't have a google id/password, you must go to the chart through a direct link, like this one.

Julie, let me know if you need anything once you get home. I could bring your family some dinner or something.

That is super nice of you. :thumbup: We are doing OK, though. I am not eating much (and drinking less) because it is so hard to get around, and the knee is so painful.

Kayleigh has been a lot of help. I have her fetching and carrying for me. Good thing it is fun to help out at 5!!! :tt2:

Thank you RobinAnn, that would be great. I tried working on one that shows week by week changes... but I am hopeless (as you already know :thumbup:) I just couldn't figure out how to do the individual columns to add/subtract etc.) I am so glad you are here and able (and thankfully, willing) to do this!!! :tt2:

Dee,

I hope you were able to get in by the link. If you would like I can update it for you. If you (or anyone) prefers not to do it this way please let me know. I have no problem going back to the way we were doing it. I wasn't trying to get out of keeping track..... I just thought this was a neat way to keep track. I feel it gives a bit more info (total lost, total to goal).

If you want to post (or IM me your weights, I will add those in)

julie

Unfortunately, it still requires I have a google account/username.

Thanks for your help!!!

I'm okay to just not finish this challenge. I don't want to get another username. I have so many with work and home. I'm good. I have my little tickers.

I'm so sorry about that. I didn't want anyone to feel left out of the challenge. I'm sure you saw I posted a copy of the doc. I can go ahead and add the amount lost to that one, if you'd like??

You do soooo well losing... it would be great to be able to post it for you :sad:

Don't worry about it Julie.

It wouldn't be any fun for me to send you my losses and have you post them. If I'm involved with a challenge, I'd like to be truly involved. Please remove my name from your list.

If I'm interested in another challenge, I can always do one at Obesity Help. They have challenges all of the time and they do them the old way.

Thanks!!! :sad:

      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!
