"If you want exceptional results you have to put in exceptional effort"

John Cena

this quote really hit home to me cuz i realized i was the type to say well i worked out a little today but it's better than nothing! well you know what? it's not "better than nothing". you want half assed results then keep doing half ass work. you want amazing results then put in amazing effort!

ive been working "pretty" hard and getting "pretty" good results but now i want exceptional results so to that end i've worked really hard this week so here's to an exceptional week! xo

Hi everyone. ... I hit my 40 pounds lost in 11 weeks. So happy to hit this mark. Its been a harder 2 weeks because Im in a statistics class and my time has been applied to studying. I missed my bike riding this week. Boooo.... but my food has been on point. I did miss my Vitamins two days this week and I told myself dont start a pattern of missing my vitamins... your body needs it. I take Biotin too because we will be losing hair at 3 to 6 months. So far... its just those areas to work on. My surgery buddy and I are finally at the same pounds lost. She was always about 3 lbs ahead of me. I still feel very heavy and for some reason cannot see the 40 pounds off of me. It may be this way for awhile because Ive been heavy for years.

Omg I was asking the same question. What are the robes for 600 pound people. After surgery I was walking and during that time I was able to get a glimpse of me from a mirror and I look increasingly large. So by the time I was being discharged and changed into my clothing. One of the nurse said you don't look like you needed the surgery. I guess not after seeing me for three days in those gowns.

Thanks woman! I cant stand Chinese made anything. All crap!!! So good that you bought extra clothes. Imagine everyones faces if your dress came undone. Lol For your "pooch" - go to Jockey and get the undergarments there. Feels good like nothing is on you and diesnt constrict you but pushes that in. Drink Thai Tea... I get mine at World Market. That helps me.

      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!
