Weight Over 200 Pounds Do U Wanna Check In Daily?



Recommended Posts

Current weight 252 obviously I have more weight to lose. Anyone want to start a private group that will check in daily and not be embarrased to share their struggles and the journey to get below 200?

Hi I'm 9 days PO, and just wanted to know if there is any support out here. I'm doing it all alone and needed some encouragement. The lbs are falling off as I'd hope or at the rapid weight as must sleevers in the beginning. Any suggestions?

Hello, I had the sleeve done on Dec 18th and I feel great. I started my journey at 373 over a year and a half ago and just couldn't seem to lose the weight. I got down to 339 and then moved. I started therapy and she suggested looking into weight loss surgery. That was in October 2013. I decided to do it. I quit smoking and saw the Dr. At ky 2 week pre-op on Dec 5 I weighed in at 356. I lost 23lbs pre-op and as of today I weighed in at 309. I did almost nothing the first 2 wks but walk about 20 min a day. At my 3 week check up I was cleared to start doing exercises just not any abdominal yet. I have been in the gym 5-6 days a week. I did my new personal best on the treadmill for the mile yesterday of 19:10. Before sirgery it would take me nearly 30 min and I would have to take breaks. I feel fantastic. I also do about 3 miles on the incumbant bike and do weight training as well. I am so excoted to be startong ky new life. I am 44 and wish I had done this years ago. I did not grow up overweight but have been carrying this weight for over 20 years since having 4 children and a horrible accident after my first 2 were born. I have major issues with my leg from the accident so losing this weigjt is a god send for me. I have had no issues this far with neausia or vomiting. I can swallow my Vitamins with no issues and i shoot for 80-100 grams of Protein and get all my Water intake in. I wish all of you out there doing this a safe, happy and life changing journey.

      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
