Hi @@lorri716 just checking to see how you are doing. Hope everything is well.

Hi there. I am doing good. I was wxhausted yesterday cause mom had a rough night the night before so I was up every 2 to 3 hours. My scale is finally moving again, so that made me happy. I did a workout yesterday for the 1st time in a month, felt pretty good. I hope you and your family are well. Are you ready for the holidays?

I'm glad to hear you are well also. I wish I was off for a few weeks. I did most of my shopping but still have a few things to get yet. I hate shopping. I went to look for a casual outfit for tomorrow night for the hubs xmas party for work, god that sucked lol. I did end up w jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Hopefully both fit cause I didn't try them on. Did I mention I hate to shop lol. My weight hasn't budged. I'm frustrated cause I haven't hit onederland yet, I know I'll get there I just need to push harder.

I knew that stalls happens, I need to get better with the exercise. As far as food I'm still doing good. I still have some shopping I need to do. Hopefully I will get it done by this weekend.

Oh my I forgot to mention that we went to belk and saw a black Michael Kors dress and my husband and daughter insisted on me to try it on. I tried the large one and it fit!!! Oh my I was so excited. I didn't get it cause I refuse to pay $120 for a dress. Well my daughter found the same dress at Macy and she got it for $49 on sale so she bought it for me for Christmas!! I will be posting some pictures for New Years, that's when I plan to wear it????????????

That's so awesome! I'm finally back to a gym routine. I've made it every night this week. I feel good. Hoping to have a good bm in the next day or so. I've been doing the BOT and let's just say nothing is moving. Hell I'm probably 199 and don't know it cause I can't go lol.

I had my 4 1/2 month follow up appointment today and all my blood work was good. Only thing I need to add is the Vitamin B12 super excited!! I have lost a total of 61lbs since I started my pre-op diet. I weighed today 192 lbs at my doctors office. This last weeks have been hard since they are food everywhere, but good thing I was able to lose couple of lbs instead of gaining. I need to stay focus cause I feel like this is where I could slip and start old habits. I need to go back on tracking every single thing I put in my mouth. I been doing good to stay away from carbs. However exercise not to good. I need to commit to do at least some walking. Wishing everyone Happy Holidays! post-260556-14513672945319_thumb.jpg

You look fabulous. I have my 4 mos check w the NUT on the 4th and the Dr on the 14th. I was supposed to see the Dr on the 4th too but he cancelled and rescheduled. I guess that give me 10 extra days to lose a little more. I'm still not in onderland. I've been bouncing between 201 and 203 for 2 weeks now. I'll get there eventually I guess. I'm glad you're doing well. The weather here is finally winter like weather, which I hate. But I'll be back at the gym tonight. I wasn't feeling so hot last night.

@@lorri716 you know I feel the same I been 191-193 lbs for the last 3 weeks and feel kind of guilty when I eat something that has too much sugar or extra nuts, I tell myself if maybe I didn't ate that I would be below 190 but you know what this is a lifetime change and we can't go forever not eating something we just need to learn to have a small portion, I know it's easier said than done but it will be something we have to work at for the rest of our life. On the bright side we went for a 1 hour walk!! I felt good. Let's keep it up! I know if I was in any other diet, around this time I would have gone back to my old habits and this time I will not let it happen.

I'm totally with you on the old habits. I'd have ditched this 2 months ago. I know my time is coming to hit onederland, and I know what I need to do to get there. I'm working on it. Like we've both said a million times, this is for life.

Happy New Year!! 2016 to be the best year ever! I'm finally 189 lbs after 3 long weeks. My New Year end celebration was very good, went out with my husband and I actually felt pretty and comfortable in my own skin. I only had half of a margarita not bad at all. post-260556-14516612150994_thumb.jpg

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
