Not if I go there and club your knees! Know go sit down and let some of us slugs be heroes for a month.

:D

You better hurry. Another week and I don't think you'll be able to catch me.

I am still about six weeks away My Insurance requires a six month managed program.I started in June, so I am almost there! Currently I have taken one of the required four weekly pre surgical skills classes. When they are complete (Nov 7) my file is sent to the surgeon, for appointment and scheduling of the surgery. I have been trying to focus on the plan and losing as much weight before the surgery.

Thank You. The program that I am in has done a good job helping me be prepared. The Exercise Psyiologist has me doing 20-30 minutes a day of cardio, minimum. I have also begun light weight and stretching exercises 3 times a week. I figure it is good to establish some routines now, so that I can get back to it as soon as able after the surgery.

Oh I did so well today! 3.3 miles of walking/hiking uphill, 60 mins of snorkeling half of which was against the current. I prob put on 2 lbs from just swallowing sea Water. Btw, don't waste time snorkeling the Garrafon reef. Nothing to see!

Anyway puts me at 46.7 miles on walking/biking.

Tomorrow is cake hiking and snorkeling so we shall see. Can my fitbit go snorkeling with me, does anyone know?

oh fricking heck! WHY AM I THINKING OF CAKE? Cave. Cave hiking. No cake for me. :(

You know something weird? We went to a grocery store here, and they had samples out. One of the samples was an entire fricking cake! Like a whole wonderful white cake with red gooey things and icing and whatnot just sitting out. I guess the idea was you just walked up to it and cut yourself a slice? I was amazed there was anything left. Like, people were just walking by it and I was going "People! There's CAKE there!" At the very least you would have thought there would be a stampede but nope.

But then I walked by it as well, left it untouched. I guess my subconscious hasn't let go of that cake yet. Sigh.

      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.
