Who else got sleeved on the 28th of march?



Recommended Posts

I'm down just about 90 pounds (about another 100 to go) and feeling great. Weight loss is substantially slow now. Maybe 2 pounds a week instead of what used to be 5-7....but at least it's going in the right direction.

Also still constipated at times but less frequently then a few months ago thankfully!!

I am feeling pretty awesome overall. Struggling a little with making good choices. My kid's halloween candy taunts me daily. Did pretty good at Thanksgiving. Concentrated on Protein first and that filled me up enough that I didn't eat much else... until pie. I did have a small sliver of pie but I am not beating myself up for that as it was a special occasion.

Total to date I have lost 114 lbs. Down from 296 to 182. Love those numbers and love my new size!

Doing good 1kg away from my goal of 70kgs 44kgs gone we have been in Asia for a month and still lost 2.9kgs which I was surprised about it was hard at times over the holiday wanting to physically eat more than I could I haven't experienced this In my day to day life as I'm satisfied generally so I stop eating but over there I wanted to eat entree main and dessert so that was hard sometimes. Overall best thing I have ever done I've had no major issues just all the usual

Doing great!!

I'm down a little over 140 since surgery. The weight loss has definitely slowed down. I set my goal at 220 and I'm about 35lbs away from that. I feel like this is good progress for 9 months out.

I allowed my self to have some foods that aren't on my plan during the holidays. I was very happy with my level of self control. Keeping my regular meals on plan, and maintaining exercise it had no effect on my weight loss, I came through the holidays maintaining the same level of weight loss I had been seeing.

Being able to do that is important for me, one of my objectives for the surgery was to have a normal food relationship. I want to be able to have small indulgences from time to time while being able to exercise self control and not binge like I used to pre-op. I feel like that's a very achievable goal at this point.

I've also started running, which is amazing. I ran a mile for the first time in my life back in September.

Clothing is down from 3xl to XL and 54 inch waist down to 42.

      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!
