Just read in a post from 2012 someone calling us the "teens of the 1960's. That has made me laugh all day. Hope this brings a smile to others on this site. Sleeved on May 20th and have been on stall for the last 8 days. Reading that others are experiencing same thing really helps.

Yes, teens of the 60s resonates with me. I graduated from HS in 1969 so I truly am a child of the 60s. Nice to meet other 60s. Here are my details:

sleeved on dec 1, 2014

sw 236

cw190...today was the first time I saw this 190.

I have been on a plateau with no movement on the scale for 2 months. it is discouraging but other things have changed. Dress size 18 to 14

Yesterday I finally bought new bras..I was 44D. Yesterday 38 C. Yes that is progress.

Still fighting daily exercise as a habit.

Never heard that expression before, but I guess I'll embrace it!

I was also sleeved on May 20 and have been plagued with a 9 day stall. I even gained back two pounds which did not make me happy! This morning I had a pleasant surprise when I stepped on the scale and had lost the two regained pounds and also another pound and a half. I have done nothing different and have eaten by my nutrition booklet and I exercise every day. Today I started back to work so I hope just the stress of dropping back into the rat race took another pound off my belly. ???? I will find out when I weigh again on Sunday!

I did finally drop a 1/2 more. I'm not really concerned because I know weight has to come off sometime. So different from how I have felt on different weight loss attempts. An eight day stall would have put me in depression.

I'm so glad to hear that someone else had a 9 day stall that was sleeved on same day. Also glad you lost the 2 pounds and more. I will weigh on Sunday too.

Sharing a recipe I also shared on May sleevers, I made a pancake today with 2 tbs unflavored Quest Protein mix, 1 egg and about 1 tbs of milk to make desired consistency. Also added some stevia and cinnamon. I found it very satisfying with sugar free Syrup. Endless possibilities on expanding recipe. Read it in and older post.

Oh so encouraging that I could be where you are in a few months. I started at 237, am looking forward to those new bra sizes. Down 20 pounds and already getting positive comments. Still having trouble with Water and being nauseous.

      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!
