Anyone 8 weeks out? How are you feeling? How's you're weightloss going? I hit a stall at 40 lbs down. I'm staying calm and trying to work through it! Here's my success so far. Sorry about the crazy hair! This was a few weeks ago. Can't wait to get down some more!

Same here! Well the energy party. I'm in sunny California so the weather is no excuse for me lol great job on the 37 pound mark! Do you have any restriction? I'm pretty much able to eat anything. But sugar makes me queasy. Which is a great thing! But sometimes I miss it!!

I am in Michigan and it's been so cold here, enjoy your sun!

As of today I down 39.2 lbs, :-) I have no restrictions but not everything goes down well. I haven't attempted anything sugary. I use to get heartburn from sweet treats which is no fun.

I'm 8 weeks out as of yesterday. Starting to become part of regular life. I've lost 40 pounds and have gone from a waist size 42 to 36 (which is like going 15 years back in time). I feel great, sleep well, no complications whatsoever. I have eaten too fast twice and was pretty uncomfortable for about 30 minutes each time. Now I try to choose foods that go down better, which isn't that hard.

Life is so much easier now..........

Love to hear everyone's stories. I am 8 weeks as of today and down 40lbs and feeling pretty great. I had a stall at around six weeks which was discouraging but I know it's part of the process. I am able to tolerate pretty much anything. Still learning on eating slow though. Here is my progress this far :

      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!
