Christmas - New Year Challenge



Recommended Posts

I weighed in at 213. I lost 5.8 pounds on the challenge but didn't meet my goal of 210. I guess the closer we get to goal, everything slows. Also the holidays and all the parties. Time to get back on track!

Wow, woke up this morning to pages to read and remembered oh today is checkin day. Well I too did not make my goal, but I am at the lowest weight in 14 years. And got rid of all the christmas baggage and got back on the track to MY healthy lifestyle. I dont know about you guys but this is my first year without a resolution based around my weight! Because its just my life now, and I am ready to hit the ground running for the Big V day challenge. Thanks again Bea for giving us your gift!

Final weigh in 172.8

Goal was 167..but thats ok since surgery I have lost 81.6pounds

Eating habits were a struggle over the holidays but thats behind me now -- and 2014 is here.

Time to jump back on the path to a healthy lifestyle!

Congrats to everyone who met their goal-- i am impressed with u!!!

I have to weigh myself when I get home. I weighed yesterday and was 258, but the weather was so beautiful here in Long Beach, we went for a long walk on the beach yesterday. I need to weigh again when I get home so I'll check in with a final weight tomorrow. Happy New Year!

Well I didn't make it. Goal was 159 and I am stuck at 165. So, my goal rolls over to Valentines Day. I am almost 10 mos out and the honeymoon may be over. But I am not satisfied, so I will make some changes and keep plugging along.

Happy New Year!!!

      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!
