Hey Muffyt

I'm managing pretty well
Since my transformation to solids I must admit I haven't followed the diet to the letter but I'm not hungry therefore if I eat it's only really small portions. So I guess compared to pre op it's only a small amount but I'm lucky I'm handling Fluid intake quite well, so maybe because I'm drinking heaps it's satisfying me enough.
I'm still having a Protein Shake every morning which keeps me going
Since I posted I'm now down to 100.3kg
From 133kg so I guess it's working for me, Aldo I haven't started any exercise yet so I guess that could mean a little faster wright loss.
Anyways I'm coping well
Thank you for your message
Regards
Mr D

Wow thats really good.i had mine on 06/02/17 and started at 135 kg.am now down to 115.i go gym and swimming.i feel i am not losing.


We are never too old to do the right thing for us my love. Just think of the fun that you are going to have too!!!! Just as a quick example, my husband, one of my bestest friends and I went out dog walking on Boxing Day. We ended up at the playground for older, more adventurous kids and I started playing. My husband and pal just sat and grinned at me making a complete idiot of myself before my husband gave me a hug hug and a kiss and said what a difference the weight loss had made. It made my Christmas. I had my right hip replaced just over a year ago and at the time I promised the surgeon that I would lose some weight before the surgery. Of course, true to form, I didn't. So during my recovery I not only had to contend with a new body part but carting the old blubber mass around made everything more difficult. You are going to be sooooooo pleased when you get that surgery done tomorrow and you become a fully fledged member of the sleevers society.
I'm writing this at 6am UK time and my husband and two (albeit small dogs) are hiding under the duvet as they think I might hoik them out for walkies at this ungodly hour!!!!!! No chance. I'm snuggling down to have a look at some more posts on here. Keep getting excited girl and I don't know about you but the night before my op I was such a pig. I had room service in the hotel I stayed in (as I went to Belgium for my surgery) and my (naturally skinny) husband and I had a veritable feast. It was such fun. I wasn't told that I couldn't so I did!

      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.
