So excited this morning. I have been working out daily as well as really watching my diet. However, for 4 weeks straight i only lost a total of 1 pound, and last week gained 7 pounds. Of course I assumed TOM was here and this was probably due to that.. but i knew i wasnt due. So I continued to work out, upping my cardio an additional 15minutes pass the hour i usually do but instead of my normal diet, began a full liquid (sorta like the preop diet) on Sunday. I was reading up on the 5 day pouch test and figured I'd give it a try. I stepped on the scale Sunday and was 192.5.... Yesterday evening after my workout i was 188.5... This morning I was a flat out 186 pounds. All i kept saying is that i have 3 more days of this and tho i do get the cravings (and will snack on about 10 cheez its), the benefits of it are definitely worth it and my pouch definitely still works. hopefully I can get to 180 by this Sunday. *Fingers crossed*... If anyone is dealing with a stall, I highly recommend the 5 day pouch test. it has re-motivated me!!!!

Great job! Those stalls are no fun at all! My husband doesnt have the sleeve but is just working out and dieting along side me and he has hit a big stall and I had to tell him that it will all work out just be patient. I have seen too many of them over the past 9 months not to totally understand the frustration that comes with it. I did the little divas boot camp once during and stall and it broke it too but then I stalled again! haha It does come off, just take one day at a time and let your body work things out! Keep up the good 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!
