Thank you do much!! It definitely has been fast, which scares me! I'm so afraid of failing again that I am watching every single thing I put in my mouth!! Saw my Dr today and he said I'm doing great. That was good to hear. Where are you in the journey? Sleeved yet?

Thank you!! I lost the bulk in the beginning because I didn't have an appetite for anything!! That's changing now that I'm 2 months out so I'm sure the loss will slow down.

Thank you!! August is right around the corner! I know it's scary but it is worth it!! I have tried everything else under the sun. This was my last resort and it has worked for me. I've changed the way I eat and now that I SEE results, I actually want to workout!! I wish you the best on your journey!! You will do great!!

Have you been sleeved or thinking about it? If you're thinking about it, I can tell you it has worked for me. I've been overweight my entire life and have tried every method on earth to lose weight. It is scary but for me it was worth it. My health has improved and I feel great!! I haven't had Hair loss. I've heard alot of people say they have lost hair so I try to get in plenty of Protein and take prenatal Vitamins (even though I'm not pregnant)!!

Hi there and congratulations on your surgery!! I was VERY cold!! The nurse explained it was normal (make sure you don't have a fever). She said its from the anesthesia and lack of calories. It got better for me after a couple weeks. I haven't had any Hair loss but heard others have. I take plenty of Protein and prenatal Vitamins (even though I'm not pregnant). Wishing you the best on your journey!!

Good to know thank you. I started my Vitamins and Calcium today. They taste awful and I bought enough for three months! I was told to take Biotin for Hair loss so I hope I do ok. You look great! Can't wait to start sheeding off the pounds jajaja!,,,

      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!
