Any March 16 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

@@marie honestly I still do a lot of Soups because I can get the different flavor I crave like crushed lentil Soup, clam chowder, chicken lemon rice soup. It's doesn't feel like I'm trying that way and it tastes good. I also do the starkist tuna kit I can usually eat 1-2 crackers and I eat the rest with a spoon.

My start weight on 3/9/16 was 256 before my 7 day liquid diet. Date of surgery 3/16/16 245. Current weight 230. I'm happy with 26 pounds down in 1 month. My energy is high, my skin and nails look better I just feel better!

I am also a March 16 surgery person. I joined the private Spring 2016 Facebook group so that I could share/compare/question my journey with others. It's great! It would be great to see you all there too and have more people post op to talk to!

Request Alea Birbeck or message her to join.

Hi There, I have lost a total of 55 lb since I started this journey. 25lbs since the surgery date.

I have stalled for the last week. Somewhat discouraging, but I know everyone goes through it.

I have had a few stalls already. 36lbs total 26lbs since surgery. Haven't lost anything this week though. It is frustrating but I keep telling myself, I would not have lasted 6 weeks on a regular diet! Plus I'm doing bad about getting my workouts in!

Hi Faybee,

We had the same date- ( sort of) 4 months out. Down total of 72 lbs. It feels good. Goal is at least 100 Ibs.

I keep telling myself that I need to take advantage of the honeymoon period. I want to lose as much as possible before the end of the honeymoon period.

You are doing great...

That's awesome Marie! I also want to take advantage of the honeymoon period. I know the next 2 months I can lose another 20 lbs before it really starts slowing down and I would be okay with that!

Currently 189! I'm still pretty consistent with 9-10lb loss every month.

      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
