actingnurse

hey dude ;)

sorry you feel so down :(

i think we've all/many/most of us have been "there"

"only" lost X amount of weight - want that # to be larger

you've consistently lost at least 10 lbs per month, 9 lbs - and now 4.5

some/many people would kill for that last # ^_^

you are doing fantastic - really you are!!!!

would i lie to you?? ;)

in my case I was eating about 800-900 calories at 7 months

NUT told you to eat 1100-1200 calories???? keep doing what he/she says - she's the boss ;)

chin up, chin up - come on!!

i said CHIN UP!!!! :angry:

now............don't you feel better ;)

congrats on losing 88 lbs

take care

keep up the great job

good luck

It is normal for the weight loss to show down add we get further out. For that matter it wouldn't be healthy to keep losing to fast. Plus the cost to goal you get the shower it will go. Don't get discouraged and stock to the plan. Good luck and enjoy the journey.

WOW! 89 pounds in 7 months!?!?! That is awesome! You are looking great! Keep it up and look at the bright side, month 7 was a loss and not a stall (which many people experience). Many people wish they could be wearing your shoes right now, so don't be sad! :D

Dude get a grip, that's awesome!

Just think of where you would be today if you hadn't had the sleeve 7 months ago.

      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!
