Glad to see everyone doing well! :D

Things have slowed down yet again, but the weight is still coming off. Weighed in at 264 this morning. My first big goal is to get down to 250. I haven't weighed that since I was probably in middle school, so we're talking damn near 30 years ago. Haven't been able to get to the gym much lately but still getting my walking in. Hoping that once I get back to the weights it'll help things get going again.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Hey all!! Sleeved 1/30 and doing pretty well. Feel fortunate I haven't had any stalls yet. I lose each week sometimes only 2lbs but I've lost up to 5 in a week. I'm female 5' 5" and my goal weight is 145lbs.
SW: 315
Current: 248
Total lost: 67lbs!!
Hit my 3 month goal of 250. Next goal is to be under 220 which I haven't seen in over 10 years...then I'm full steam ahead to onederland!!

Hi all! So I'm at that stall that I've been reading others have had and it's so frustrating! A year ago I stopped weighing myself when I hit 295. I'm pretty sure by last July i was around 310 based on my clothes. I knew I had to do something before I died from all my health problems (uncontrolled diabetes even on insulin and 2 different pills, high cholesterol, severe sleep apnea, liver problems and blood pressure increasing). I kept putting off my final clearance for surgery because I was afraid. I managed to loose and get back down to 280. But that was not helping my health issues. So I went ahead and decided to get it done. My pre op weight was 272 and down to 262 the day of surgery 1/16. I'm now at 226 which I know is great but I've only lost 4 pounds in the last 4 weeks! I'm so frustrated and feel like I'm loosing this battle ☹️.

Hi Jackie my weight loss is slowing down too, in the last month I only lost 5 pounds. I can eat more now and I regularly hit 1200 calories per day and often more. Don't give up! Slow loss is still loss :) I am starting exercising more to make up for the increased calories intake.

Hi Criolelaie! Thank you, it's good to know you are not alone on an island!!! You are so right, slow loss is better than no loss, I just have to keep telling myself that. I've started swimming to help with exercise so hopefully that will start some more loss. Thanks again and keep up the great work! [emoji4]

      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!
