Hi punkster. I hope your fill goes well. I am not sure what is going on with me. I am thinking it is sinus drainage causing me to feel so bad. I need to get to the pharmacy and get some sudafed. That seems to be the only thing that dries my drainage. I have a netti pot and it helps, but it doesn't stop it all. I woke up hungry this morning (which I haven't done in a while), so we shall see what happens. If it keeps up, I am going to have to schedule a slight unfill until the drainage stops.

what is everyone doing for exercise these days? anyone going to the walk from obesity?

I am back in the gym with my personal trainer who is amazing! She is just a little midget gidget of a gal who really knows her stuff and is very supportive. We are working on leg issues right now. I would love to do the walk, when is it?

Could we get a Lap Band Talk group going? I would love to meet some of you guys.

What do you have to do for the walk? Just register? Is there a fee?

I haven't been exercising at all I have to admit. I haven't exercised since before my endometriosis surgery. I really need to get back on the treadmill.

I would love to meet everyone too!

Good for you punkster. I haven't found an exercise that calls to me yet. I keep buying equipment and using it once or twice then stopping. I know that is bad on my part. I may have to breakdown and join a gym. I can't seem to make myself do it at home.

How is everyone doing?

on a previous weight loss plan (liquid diet) i used to go to the gym that was included in part of my plan and the rowing machine was what i always gravitated toward. The treadmill was too high impact for my feet and biking hurt my butt and legs in a bad way. hoping to stick to the plan. :smile2:

slim - you'll find something you like. i want to try like Water aerobics but i dont have time or money for that yet.

one day... :thumbup:

That's my problem. The bike hurts my butt (I bought one a while back. It is now a clothes hanger.:smile2:) I could never afford a treadmill. The places to walk near my house have too many dogs. I would love to do water aerobics or even swimming everyday, but alas, no pool. My neighbor has a pool, do you think they would let me swim? ha ha. I doubt it. They moved in about a month ago, and I still haven't met them or seen for sure who all lives there. I did see that they had a new liner put into the pool. It looks so inviting with the ball floating on top of the water. Ok, envy over. I am sure that the cost of upkeep on that thing is not pretty.

I will find some exercise that I like to do.

I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

      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.
