Finally broke my first stall AND lost the one pound that was holding me back from my first goal! Sleeved May 16 & as of today down 25 lbs!!

Next goal: lose the next 15 which will put me under 200 for the first time in 15 years!!!

The 25 is from pre- and post-op diet, so I'm losing slower than my surgeon would like (I'm about 9 lbs behind where he wants me to be). He & my Nut are not very encouraging, so I'm hoping I can get some support here or on My Fitness Pal to keep me going!

Well no matter what, U WILL SUCCEED, U CAN DO THIS, ND WE R BEHIND YOU!! altho som people r in the medical nd May be fab at their Jobs, not all have the personality to give more than what their jobs require. With that said, don't let their lack of support or enthusiasm bring u down, or make u give up. This is YOUR NEW LIFE, I'm sure no regrets, so instead of taking their rudeness personally, use it to fuel your steps going forward, show urself that regaredless, u can do this, u did the hard part of getting it done, and it'll be work in progress here on out. We r here for u, so don't hesitate to post. No, I'm not sleeved yet, still hoop jumping, but one day, Lord willing, I will b, nd from what I've been reading here, ik I'll nvr b alone, nd neither R u. God Bless you, Dee Dee

Congratulations!!

Setting goals have been a great thing for me. A great motivator, a great way to have set times to Celebrate and a way for me to measure my progress! I love it when I hit a goal and sometimes when I am so close to a goal it will drive me crazy but when I in fact hit that goal or surpass it, I am over the moon!

Keep up the great work!!!!!

      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!
