December 2013 Sleever Pounds Lost Log

Feeling fantastic!

HW 322 (March 2013)

SW 278 (Dec 16,2013)

CW 259

I only weigh once a week so I haven't experienced any stalls yet. I'm sure it will come but I think weighing once a week is best for me.

Chugging along in the right direction. Would probly be better if I didn't weigh every day cause sometimes it says I gained a little.

Hi to all fellow Dec Sleevers!

I just confirmed my weights with my doc last week, so this may be a correction from my last post.

HW 276.3 - 12/3

SW 274 - 12/18

CW 248.3 - today!????

Total down 28lbs and feeling hopeful. I even 'kinda' crossed my legs last night. Couldn't keep them there comfortably, but I didn't have to haul my leg across the other. Small but feel good victory!

I had no issue with salsa though some do complain about it. I had no issue with cinnamon either, but it back fires on a lot of people. I had hot sauce too with no problem. One day I had hot and sour Soup from the restaurant and it made me run to the bathroom. Thought it might have been the spices but the next time I tried it, I had no problem. Hmm...love the hot and sour soup and NUT said..good idea. I do a half a cup for lunch or dinner with a couple of saltines crackers thrown in...another yummy meal..

You're definitely going to have to transition to some soft/pureed food. So yes lady put them big girl panties on..lol

--

I tried wonton soup liquid on New Year's Day and it sat ok but I could only manage 4 or 5 tablespoons -- it seemed too rich or flavorful even with only liquid ..... It smelled amazing though!!

Never had hot sour soup or egg drop but I hear they are both good

Do you eat the saltine crackers with the liquid?

Don't think my NUT will allow crackers for me at 4 weeks out

I loved spicy food before VSG so hope I have similar tolerance level when I start regular solids

I have no issues with skim milk or cinnamon nutmeg and ginger -- I mix those in with my designer whey powder almost every morning

Almond milk seems to bother me all of a sudden -- I really enjoyed it prior to my VSG

Baby food and FAGE Greek yogurt sit will if I Blend blend blend

Hot and Sour is delish..and I actually put the two crackers in the soup and they turn to mush, so it's easier to digest. My Nut said not to eat them too often, but once in a while is okay.

I can't wait for that moment! I can't even remember the last time I could cross my legs comfortably. It's gotta be more than 10 years.

Congrats on that awesome NSV!!

I too wish the weight was coming off a little faster but I guess slowly but surely is how I will roll. Either way as long as it comes off, in the end it doesn't matter much and I will take it however it comes.

Don't be discouraged if you have stalled. I stalled for 14 days (during weeks 2 & 3) but the weight is coming off again!! It is just your body trying to protect you from possible starvation/dehydration. Be kind to it. ;) xoxo to all.

Hi Tami...I definitely need HW...because I go in and subtract to get my total..

I have been doing the totals based on your HW...so SW would be the one I don't have to have.

In regards to that dreaded stall...at exactly 3 weeks I entered the stall...it finally broke 11 days later. I have read that it can last from just a few days , and I have read someone who is on day 20 and still stalled.

Despite the fact it is frustrating, just know that it WILL end and you will see that scale move! :)

      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
