Recommended Posts

I hope everyone had a great Love day yesterday. I had a great day after all, my DH brought me a doz of multi colored roses, and giant red heart ballon, a sexy card and my favorite a gold beaded necklace to my job. I was surrounded by sweets at home from all the treats my boys got from school AND we go to Church last nite and MORE treats were given to us, more chocolates, Cookies and chips, WHAT are these people trying to do to me.:faint: Of course, I have all this stuff at home which will be with us for a while, hopefully my 4 men at home will take care of it:tired

Ok, evil demon dogs have attacked my will power today...I just grabbed a hand full of minature hersey kisses and scarfed them down...I dont know whats gotten into me lately...I guess that I get depressed when the weight loss has slowed down and I tell myself that I might as well have that chocolate, or that half a batter dipped cow bathing in butter cuz its just not going to make a difference anyhow!! Oh well, I am having one of those not feeling good kinda what the heck kinda days

Tann I hope your little men took care of that candy situation at home. LOL

Avilla that's not bad you had a handfull of love. All those kisses didn't add up to much.

MorningFuneral that is wonderful about your new buddy. Did you meet this buddy at the new gym? I think we all go through that moody thing and turn to food. I call it PMS for me.

Turner24 great job on the 3 pounds. I think I am at a stand still right now but I will try not to stress. The next time I have some kisses I will make sure you don't hear me. I don't want to get smacked.. Poowwoooo LMBO

Bandida I'm so sorry. The first thing I did when I first got stuck was panic. I think that is the worst thing we can do. Sometimes we just have to sit still and wait. Do you know what got stuck? If you able to get fluids down just stick to liquids right now.

I am still a bit under the weather. Yesterday I felt like ewwww and went home and went straight to bed. I feel a bit better this morning but not 100%. Yesterday I had a ice cream bar, grapes, cheese, crackers and chicken noodle Soup. I plan on having crackers and soup today.:sick

HOW CLEAN ARE YOU REALLY EATING?one_pot_wonders_200x200.jpg

If you've reached a fat loss plateau, it's time to reevaluate your eating habits, according to Craig Ballantyne, C.S.C.S. We all think we are better than we are when it comes to eating, yet every one of us can eat better.

Take a look at your calorie compliance. Are you getting 90% of your calories from the right sources? Remember, you can't be doing everything RIGHT and still be getting the WRONG results. No workout, no matter how good, can trump the domination of Dominos, the march of McDonalds, or the King of the Burger. You absolutely, positively, must be eating:

a) In a caloric deficit (that means fewer calories in than are needed to maintain your weight)

:) Lots of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables

c) No processed carbohydrates (nothing from a bag or a box)

d) Protein at every meal

e) 5-6 small meals per day rather than 2-3 big meals

f) Fiber-rich nuts as snacks

g) No sugar

That's the definition of good nutrition. Think about this. How fast can you eat a Big Mac, fries, and a soda. 10 minutes? 5 minutes? 3 minutes? Now compare that to how long it would take to burn off those calories (all 1200+ of them) by running. It would probably be the better part of 2 hours. And who has that kind of time to work out?

      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!
