A healthier me

1. Being able to walk with out exhaustion

2. Being able to make my kids happy and proud.

3. Have more energy and enthusiasm in life

4. To be able to go to sky zone, swimming, and do other fun and amazing things with my children.

5. To feel better mentally and physically

6. To have a healthy heart

7. To be able to sit up with out the pain in my back, and sides, and shoulders

8. To really feel good about me on the outside

9. To look in the mirror head on and like what I see. A smaller me!

10. To be able to cross my legs

11. To stop holding in my stomach

12. To just be able to inhale and exhale and just breath easy

13. To shop for clothes and feel stylish

14. Too feel sexy on the outside

15. To fit in and to feel confident

16. To take a full body selfie and feel good about it

17. To wear shorts and Tank tops, and skinny jeans and statement Tee's

17. To sit in the nail shop chair and not feel uncomfortable

18. To increase my self esteem

19. To feel confident and good about myself to allow love in

20. Ive always been depressed about my weight and its caused me to have low self image and its made me to feel insecure, and unworthy.

I want to be skinny, smart, and pretty, and confident. Not the the fat lady that's always taking care of others because she feels like she's not worthy or is too fat to be loved and respected and cared for. Tired of being the fat lady the room alone and lonely.

Rudy Woo. I totally understand, see I had all that. I had the band for 2 yrs and lost 100+ lbs, but I had some major issues with it where I could keep anything down even Water. So I needed to have it removed and within a year I gained it all back. So now I'm going to this way now. And I want those feelings back. I have been misable for years now!!

      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

      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!
