I would to live chat with you guys.

I seem to see the same 3lbs go off and on these past months. I think I have it under control then wham, something happens and I console myself with carbs. I know exactly what I need to do but it isn't happening.

I didn't used to get emails when someone posted but on my app (ipad) they're used to be a small red number next to the title of my posts ( or some title like that) and so I knew that someone had added something. Now I have to go to participated and scroll through.

I still get the little red number, but when I hover over it, it gives me a list of all the things I (no longer) participate in, and never shows replies here, even when I come here and discover that there have been many new replies since my last viewing.

Yesterday I ate 1/3 of a caesar salad and a slice of raisin bread. That's it. Today I have had lots of tea and coffee, 1/3 of the same salad (kept in the work fridge) and dinner will be some Soup if I'm not too tired.

Florinda that seems so little and no Protein. Are you purposely going so low or don't you have any appetite?

I totally know that little gallery - used to drive by it every day. I know what you mean about the varying quality of the work up at times - but I suppose that every gallery/museum/home/coffee shop has work that might not be to ones taste.

 

I am a munchy, munchy mouth right now - perimenopause and I feel like my sleeve is totally broken, but I know it isnt when I eat what I should lol.

Hi everyone. I've been around reading but not posting.

I'm also not getting any notifications when people post so i usually try to pop in every couple days and see what's going on.

I'm still recovering from my accident.

I've had some serious depression over this. I still get headaches and dizziness. I am also having memory and concentration issues still. I can't workout like I normally do bc it makes me sick and dizzy and I end up with a Migraine. The doctors keep saying it takes time and that I will get better. In the last couple weeks I have had some slight improvement so this is promising to me. I started physical therapy and I am doing a lot of work with my balance and trying to eliminate my dizziness.

That's basically what's been going on with me...not much!

I'm doing good with my weight but I have lost so much muscle! I hate it but I know it'll come back when I get back to my regular workouts again.

I have to watch my food intake a lot closer since I haven't been working out. If I eat junk I can eat a lot of it. If I stick with the basic sleeve diet...dense Protein and veggies...my sleeve still works fine.

Denise, so sad to hear about your DIL and her miscarriage. That must've been really hard for all involved.

Thank you Sarsar. I am worried about my son and DIL. Since they live 4 hours away, I can't really see what's going on.

 

I don't know why I keep gaining weight. I am not eating junk and the scale is going up anyway. It's because I can't work out. It's so ridiculous that I have way more back pain and left leg pain than I did before surgery. Surgery was supposed to fix that. I am scared to eat anything.

 

We can message alex about not getting notifications. I used to get the notifications up in the right hand corner next to the little envelope. Now I get them for other threads, but not this one. I have to click on my name and click on content I follow to find this group.

@@sarsar I am so sorry this recovery drags on. You mention depression. . How bad is it?

Life is pretty good these days but I have so much physical pain I need to find a different doctor and chase down what is going on.

I received a notification in an email that I was mentioned.

The notifications I'm missing are the ones on my app on my iPhone. There used to be a number that popped up by it if someone made a post in this group.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
