Lets work on this one as a free-be no money involved. (just my suggestion but will go with majority rules) Lots of folks here are cash pay customers for the surgery and they need the $50.00. One thing I am comfotable with is knowing how you here are all fantastic people I know the winner would have won the honest way. But you have to understand some of us (probably only me really) will go to any means (leagally) to win money. LOL Was thinking like just before the end when everyone is down 30-40 pounds and there are just a few pounds seperating us I would post a picture of me in a pair of thong speedo's. LOL by the time you all recouperate and get out of hospital from the heart trama or pyscialogical damage I will have passed you all up. lol

I'll pass on the $50.00 bet, I just had surgery and I still have to pay for it! If y'all want to do the money thing, count me out, I'll sit back and be a cheer leader too!

Greg - You can still post that picture though! :laugh

I would love to join in. I will be travelling around a bit and moving on top of that over the silly season so I may not be able to sign in EVERY week, would anyone mind?

And as far as challenges go, here is a site that I am also involved in where challenges are set much like this, but the moderator makes a separate area for challenge discussions so the threads don't get out of hand. You guys can check it out for ideas...http://www.slimmingforlife.com.au/

Look out, Penni's headed our way. . . and Jodie, please join in. We're not sticklers for form here, so just let us know how you're doing with the challenge whenever you get a chance. You have an advantage over us Yanks: no Thanksgiving food orgies next week! I'll check your suggested web site to try to keep the thread manageable. Thanks.

(Just came back from a 1.5-hr. walk in the park on my day off. I only planned to walk 45 minutes, but the dog went nuts chasing squirrels and wouldn't come back when I was ready to leave. She's had an exercise energy boost too!)

Here's a summary, as far as I understand it. Greg and Becky, you may have different ideas. Anyone interested will weigh in on Monday, Nov. 22, & send a PM to Greg. Then we just start exercising like fiends. Check in on the thread on Mondays if you can & report your exercise for the last week. The challenge runs through Monday, Jan. 3, when we'll report our final weights, and also tell how we're feeling and any NSVs (inches lost, muscle gained, blood pressure down, construction workers whistling, etc.). I don't know if the winner should be chosen based on most exercise, most weight lost, or best description of Greg in his thong Speedo; I leave that up to wiser heads.

That's too much work for me, but I'll exercise for the sake of the challenge since we all get to see Greg in a Speedo. That's how I interprested this thread. When will he be posting it? (Funny how quiet he got.)

      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
