Recommended Posts

Congrats to all of you!! Amazing losses...

Wish I could say the same for myself :( iv lost 10lbs since surgery on 3/28. Total loss of 18lbs. Sigh. Doc says I'm not losing more because I can't get my calories in. So iv been forcing myself to eat round the clock and more than I really want to eat. Seems odd makig myself eat to lose weight :-/

Here's to hoping for a bump in loss.

Wow congrats all. I'm 5 weeks out, down 22lbs (2 pant sizes) I honestly wish it was more but ill settle for any weight loss.

I'm averaging 500 calories a day and wondering if uping my calories will boost the weight loss.

The past two weeks I've only lost 1lb each week. :-( kinda bummed about that. Worried I may not even make it close to my goal weight at this pont. Just gotta keep pushing forward I suppose

Sleeved 3/29, down 13 since surgery, 28 total. I hope I'm not in the three week stall. This is the first day my weight stayed the same in a while. If so, I'll just stop weighing for a while.

I was sleeved on 3/25 and have lost 10 pounds so far. Today starts week 3 and I was UP .8 lb - I guess the "stall" has happened to me. I'm also curious how many calories everyone is taking in. I average between 500-600/day and am getting 55-60 grams of Protein.

I do feel like my energy is back, though I still get really tired at the end of the day. Had a very busy weekend and could not keep my eyes open past 8:00 last night - so I went to bed and slept til 5 AM! Needless to say, I'm feeling really good this morning!

I was sleeved 3/7. Down a total of 37 lbs. My son went to hug me last night and for the first time in a long time he was able to get his arms all the way around me. "Mom your getting skinny." I never thought I would hear those words...

      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!
