Unfortunately I will be unable to complete this challenge as I was admitted to the hospital earlier this week with a medical emergency. I was bleeding internally and lost half of my blood supply due to an ectopic pregnancy that I was unaware of that ultimately ruptured my fallopian tube. I'm devastated as this is not the first time this has happened to me and now I am left with no tubes at all and can no longer have anymore children. I am blessed to have my daughter but it looks like she will be my one and only. It hurts because I had wanted to get myself healthy enough to be able to give her a sibling and now those dreams are crushed.

I'm out of this challenge as the IV fluids have caused me to gain a bunch of weight. I know it's not weight from fat and its only Water retention and it will go away. I'm hoping to be able to participate and complete the next challenge.

Oh no! That's traumatic. .I'm so sorry for your loss. My last pregnancy I was told it was possibly ectopic, so for 2 weeks I couldn't do a thing except check my temp every few hours. I managed to hold onto that baby until 32 weeks. She is now a healthy 5 year old starting kindergarten on Tuesday.

While the loss of both tubes can never be diminished, maybe this was part of a bigger plan for you.

Get yourself well honey. There will always be more challenges to join in once your healed up and ready for it!

Ree: I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have plenty of loving support.

My final check-in for the Labor Day challenge is a head-scratcher: 155 lbs. How does one lose 8 lbs in one week? I must have been retaining Water like crazy. If this isn't a temporary anomaly, I have exceeded my goal for today by 8 lbs!

      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!
