12/27/17, slow loser here but hanging in there. Still have 50 more lbs to lose to reach goal weight. I have struggled with not eating enough to sustain my workouts to just not eating or eating the wrong things(bad carbs). I am getting back on track just have to find a way to eat more calories.

December 2017 here! All is well! Thanks for checking in, Jade!

Congrats BlueCrush! How amazing that you're at goal already!

FabNFit - You can do it ;)

I'm not at goal yet. I don't know if I'll hit it before my one year, but I'm 85 lbs down. And that's OK. (I've come to terms with this after lamenting for an extended time over not being a 100 in 6 months loser). I've worked out regularly since about February, which may have affected the numbers. Size wise, I'm down from a 22/24 dress to a 12/14 in most brands.

Right now, I'm struggling with a very long stall. I've complained a lot. And whined a lot. It doesn't help. lol. :P In retrospect, I realize I might be stress eating and eating when not hungry and loading carby/sugary things because I'm TIRED. All the bad old habits. I'll work on them though and hopefully have a better run for October.

I should be in a size 12/14 by now too, but it's taking my brain awhile to realize that, so when I go into stores I still tend to buy larger sizes, get them home and wonder why they are hanging off of me. My co-worker that's a gastic bypass patient told me to just buy yoga pants until my brain catches up...lol.

This happens to me as well! I still gravitate towards the plus sizes and reach for the XLs first. Before the surgery, I told my husband about all the fabulous shopping trips I was going to have. I came home sad and empty handed time after time because I couldn't wrap my head around a smaller size. That has probably been the hardest thing about the weight loss! I still want to gravitate towards plus sizes and I'm still reaching for the XL's first. He goes with me now, which has been fun and it has helped a lot ;)

I'm sure we will both GET IT soon, and start buying the right sizes...lol:)

      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.
