Recommended Posts

Anyone else pick out clothes now and just look at them and think that they are insanely tiny like baby clothes and there's no way you're gunna fit in that but then you dooooo?

Best, weirdest feeling ever.

I am wearing size 7 in Juniors leggings right now and a Juniors Medium top and I swear they look infant-sized when not on my body. Blows my mind! In an awesome way!

I have that feeling every day when I put on my pants, and I'm always a bit surprised when they actually fit. I never thought I would fit into a size 30 waist again! I also discovered that I had (unknowingly) bought a few pairs of boy's pants that fit me!

Yes, I feel that way every time I shop. I thought if I made it to a single digit size it would be amazing. I figured an 8 would be my final size. When I hit that size, but wasn't to goal yet, I wasn't sure where I'd end up. Currently, I'm a petite small tops and 4P pants. Even though it's a lot more fun to shop these days, I'm trying not to go overboard because I feel like I may go down one more size when I decide to have plastics. I've bought some pants at Sam's Club and costco because they have nice stuff and it's cheap! I won't feel so bad giving away $10 yoga pants or $15 jeans if they no longer fit. I wear scrubs at work and have gone from an XLP to XSP and probably could go to XXSP but I have reached the point where I refuse to buy any more because I hope to retire in 3 yrs and who really cares if they are just a little too big! Maybe I'll change my mind when all is said and done! I did "treat" myself to a Lily Pulitzer dress that cost $138 for reaching goal. I haven't spent that much for anything while in the weight loss phase! I was in the store, loved it, and felt a sense of pride when I had to ask the clerk if they had a small in stock. For once I didn't get that "that's never gonna fit you look!"

After I lost weight with my sleeve I always found myself gravitating to the big girl clothes. I am not sure if it was just what I was used to or if my mind hadn't caught up with my weight loss!

That's funny. I used to travel with a friend who's a lot smaller than me and I'd look at her clothes and think how tiny they were and how mine were so big they took up more room in the suitcase. LOL!

      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.

      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
