Hey Eli, I made the same decision to stay home and avoid temptation.

And even though your team didn't win, you have to admit that was a great game, huh?

Anyway, I'm wondering if you and Bry are on Myfitnesspal? I'd love to be able to have some guys for support. My username is ChrisJane180.

Best of luck!

I'm was on myfitnesspal, and I think I'll do it again. I'll chime in later and give my name, I can't recall at the moment and I left my phone in the car.

Wow was that a great game until the end. I just don't understand why in the world rustle threw at the end instead of handing it to Beast Mode on the half yard line. Makes no sense. Still had a blast watching and it's been an amazing three years to be a hawks fan. And I have to admit,we lost to some great competition (even if they do cheat). Hopefully next year I'll be skinny and celebrating a victory with my buddies.

Justajenn, it's no problem, I was really just wondering cause I was about to post once till I realized it was the powder room. But what we are all doing here is way bigger than caring about the gender lines.

Ok cool. I added you.

We're both starting from about the same place so it'll be nice to go through the process with you.

food journaling is crucial to success and myfitnesspal with its bar scanner makes it super easy. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that I really started taking it seriously.

i had the pleasure of watching my Patriots win after i swore we were about to lose. but I cheated food wise and i shouldn't have. i brought good things to eat, and yet i still had about a handful of doritos and a few chips. sigh, oh and i stuck my finger in some frosting. as a result ive been in a two day stall. could be a coincidence but probably karma or whatever ( hmm weight Karma, that a scary thought) anyway. the champagne ( 1 small glass) probably didnt help either.

Of course we did the shaved head party after the super bowl. so maybe i lost a half pound of hair lol. but i need to be around my friends, they help me with my weight loss, the ego boosting and confidence build i get from people saying how good i look is a big help. It also helps my friends all drink beer and i have never been a beer drinker, i can not imagine one of my friends had 14 beers. i do not even want to know how many calories that is. Probably more than i have in two weeks. Unfortunately we have also had 3 feet of snow over the last ten days, so its been hard to get to the gym. although shoveling snow, when the wind chill makes in 15 below zero, is very much a workout.

Well I actually went to the Super Bowl and I have to tell you how disappointed I was in the food. I brought my healthy food in a clear plastic bag and they made everyone throw out all food and drinks. Ughhh good money wasted. But then when you get in there was not any healthy options. I ended up getting a cheeseburger that was so gross. It wasn't even real meat. It was some cafeteria crap meat. And of course it was expensive. I am only 3 months out so I really wanted to stay on track but I survived 3 days of a so so diet and lack of my routine exercise but I am back on track today. I figured I will skip the scale this week so that I am not disappointed because I've had enough of that.

Sad my Hawks lost but back to reality.

      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
