Weightloss Challenge



Recommended Posts

I am up this week. I worked late nights most of this week and ate junk instead of healthy choices. I am at 324. I will have to buckle down this week.

Love the new avatar, DeLarla! I am on a chocolate tear today, and I'm starting a week of steroids, so I might take you up on the weight-gain challenge this coming week. My ass is bigger than yours, nyah-nyah!

Thank you, Zoe, but do I accept your weight gain challenge even though you have the steroid advantage? Sometimes ya just gotta laugh!

I would appreciate if we could keep this thread from being hijacked to a "weight gain challenge". This thread is for weight loss and those who are serious about the challenge

I'm sure all of those in this challenge will agree.

Thanks!

Oops, is Michelle a moderator now, and did the new guidelines that were just initiated (the ones that say moderators can't dictate what we write) already change? Since when is a little humor considered a thread hijack? Every thread goes off topic, so why is this one suddenly being addressed, and why wasn't it addressed earlier during the "sciatica" hijack? It's called humor, some of us are having a hard time losing weight and if we don't laugh we'll cry. I want to lose weight just like everyone else. I'm back. Ease up.

Back on track ... =) I'm coding a way for you all to update your own weights on the "Weight Loss Challenege" website. Bear with me for a couple of days and it'll be up and updated.

Oh, and I'm up 2 lbs. I got a 1 cc fill on Thursday, but as of yet, it's worthless.

The whole weightloss challenge has me baffled right now. I thought getting the band would remove the need to challenge myself or anyone else, but without the ability to get a fill, it's just me and Willpower right now. And Willpower is for the most part, non-existent. What's everyone doing different now (for this challenge) to lose? I was enjoying too many cocktails but cut back and only had one this weekend. Next weekend I'm going for zero. I wasn't a big drinker before the band (well, back in my 20s I partied too much.) For me it's a deep rooted sugar addiction. Booze quenches that need, so when I'm not having drinks I'm craving soda. Go figure, I started drinking after getting the band but quit soda. Now I'm quitting booze and drinking soda. Sugar is gonna kill me one way or another.

Lisa,

for so long I wondered the same thing. I didnt even like to 'visit' here b/c everyone was losing, and I wasnt - so it depressed me.

This second fill has done it for me... once you get a fill, things will be different (you know this already).

How much longer will it be before you get that shiny new port (along with a fill)?

      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!
