I commit too!! I was reading something today that struck me and I think I will share...

Lessons from Dogs:

Have you ever noticed how with dogs every 15 minutes is a new day, for example, ever try to punish a dog for a mess it made 20 minutes ago? All you get is an innocent look.

So I want it to be the same for me...I don't need to wait to tommorrow to start a new day, I can start it NOW. So if you screw up...Start fresh NOW!!!

Thanks Teresita! I am looking forward to this thread!! My challenge for myself today is to get in 64 oz Water...I better get started.

After reading for awhile and actually really and honestly thinking about it i've come to decide to make a commitment to how many lb's I want to reach by march. For this spring bootcamp I challenge myself right now to be on a path to loose 35lbs. Now that I have said it I am off to go walking and I am going to borrow my mom in laws weights for simple lifting. So i am going to go get a ticker for the challenge<3

Excuses are tools of the incompetent, building bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothing and those who use them seldomly amount to anything.

Therefore I will not give anymore excuses

Count me in! I commit!!! I will get rid of the excuses if I have to beat them out of my head!:frusty: LOL!

I bought a new Cardio Dance video the first of the year and I did the entire 40 mins last night! My calories were good but my Water intake wasn't as well as it should be. Today's challenge: Drink at least 64 oz. of Water, stop eating when I feel full, and to get up and get moving!

Good luck to all Bootcampers!!:)

Count me in on the committement! I have been avoiding the boards for awhile. I had gained up to 259 (YIKES) and have been on an emotional roller coaster and recently rejoined Weight watchers (yes, again) to have weekly accountability in person (pathetic aren't I?) But hye it is working, I am back down to 251 now since starting WW on Dec 16th.

I commit to all the above with you all. My main struggles are:

1. Exercise

2. Water intake.

I hope to bet back to my first goal weight of 225 first then next goal 199 lbs and then to final goal of 180 pounds! Then my doc will refer me for plastic surgery for my drag-the-floor sagging skin on my tummy.

Good luck to all of us!

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      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
