Amusing, here is your laugh for the day.

So, six weeks out, down about 50 pounds, stall, sort of over, not losing a ton of weight, but I am losing, so I am happy. My primary exercise is walking, and I live in New Hampshire and do not drive (long story, no DWI, I did nothing wrong, it's a bureaucratic thing), and the weather here, between the biting cold and the the seasonal rains have made it really hard to get out and get my six mile walk in every day. I do not work, I am a retired full time student at the moment, with no classes until November 30th, so......

Here is the pet peeve that I bet everyone has been through, yet we never really speak about it (and no, for once it does not involve my ass). Belt loops. I have kept my pre-surgery belt, sort of as a reminder of what I have accomplished. It is a reminder, every time I put my pants on how much smaller I am, even if the scale is being pissy. I bought a leather punch and have had to make ten new holes. I am currently between two holes. One is a tad too loose, and my pants sag, the next one, is so tight I feel like my legs are going to turn blue from lack of blood.

This is the absolute worst thing to deal with (for me (ass issues aside)) as I either am constantly pulling up my pants or trying to move when my belt is so tight I feel like I am cut in two,

Anyone else, have this issue? I've tried suspenders but wind up feeling like a farmer. Now that it's colder I can wear them under a shirt and on one is the wiser, though.

So, laugh away. Oh and i'll have that belt until my dying day. I speak at the various seminars at the hospital and people always gasp when I show them how long my belt is now. They just see a fat guy, they have no idea how much fatter I was until they see the belt.

Suspenders.

Seriously.

I wear them even though I have no belt loop issues.

These are the belts I've used for years... can always get at least a year or two out of one. Mine is way too long, but it can easily be trimmed off. Cinches tight for me with no sagging issues.

Good thinking, although I am partial to the belt I have now. This was meant to be an amusing thread, I think I failed. lol

I do have to admit that seeing the buckle on that belt brought back some terrible memories from my days in the Army, polishing the brass ones we had. OMG what a project.

@@winklie I was laughing thinking about a middle-aged, ex-milatary white guy in sagging pants.

Just embrace the sag! Get yourself some plaid boxers, a chain wallet and a skateboard.

I always look forward to your posts because they crack me up. This whole belt suspenders thing is a pain in the ass.

Not sure about you but I swear a large part of my weight loss came from my ass. I no longer have one! I mean literally, I no longer have one so therefore every pair of pants I put on have issues.

If the waist fits, the ass is baggy. This is my new look!

I was just complaining about the same thing yesterday. My pants are waaayyyyy too big in the ass but my waist is not keeping up enough for me to go into a smaller size. I might need to wear bicycle shorts with butt padding.

Hey, a fake ass might be just the way to go! LOL.

Maybe we should just invent jeans with a padded ass just for us.

Just make sure you have the fake ass in the right place. At my brother's wedding there was a woman with a fake ass that was sort of pushed to ome side and sagging way down. I'm not sure I've seen anything weirder/funnier!

Padded ass jeans. Grat idea!

I am looking into bicycle shorts. I had no ass when I was fat, now I have to sit on a gel cushion or my ass hurts. Jeans with a pre-attached ass is a great idea! I can see the marketing now...... 'Have no ass? Try Levi's™ Ultra Ass Jeans, same fit, same comfort, same durability, only now you can sit!"

LMFAO

      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.
