Howdy Shamrocks!

I'm not going to repost the list because I didn't loose this week. I am going to be happy that I didn't gain. I did stick to the plan, so it is slightly frustrating, but that is ok. I had to get on the doctor's scale twice this week and I was down from the last time I had been to see them both times. My goal for 3/25 is to hit between 65 and 75 pounds lost. I even know the goal after that! I know I shouldn't get ahead of myself, but at that point I will be real close to oneunderland.

So, moving myself is the goal for the next week. It has been tough. My involuntary exercise is ok, but I need to get back with the program. Walking a few city blocks here and there isn't going to cut it.

Congrats Harley on getting back on track. Scrappy, you are an inspriration. Everyone has a tough time at some time. I'm guessin you will be at or very close to your goal by your one year anniversary.

Teri - great NSV. I think the NSV's are better than the SV sometimes!

Well... I again stayed the same, holding on for Tuesday when I get my desperately needed fill!!!!!

Glad to see so many of my shamrock friends on track!!! You guys rock!!!!!

Other news... had to cancel a big 90th get together for my grandma this weekend due to the forecast of up to 10 inches of snow by tomorrow evening. Holy Cow... we have seen a lot of snow this year!!! So far the first wave brought about 2 inches this evening, just planning on staying inside and warm this weekend:)

Down one this week. Not sure how that happened with all the munching I have been doing on all the wrong foods. Anyway, back on track tomorrow.

I have started doing stretches with my 8 yr old DS every evening. This week we found out he has a part of one of his vertebrae that never fused. I took him to the doctor because for years he's been having back pain and it's not getting better. So he has "spina bifida occulta". Thank God it's a very mild case, but I was very freaked out to see his spine was "broken" on the x-ray. His flexibility is limited since his spine does not curve normally and doing the stretches might help/can't hurt. So while I'm on the floor I'm throwing in some abdominal work....imagine that.

So, feeling blessed to have my three beautiful healthy children (I was very scared for a few days while the spinal surgeon and the ortho guys were consulting), and so glad I am getting healthy and thin.

Harley! You stole back my five pound weight loss this week! So I'm updating again.

Good loss to those who've lost, way to maintain to those who maintained, and chin up to those who had a little bump! and Yay to Scrappy, who was feeling blue, but powered through.

Christine, that must have been v. scary indeed - I'm glad your lad is fine!

I now repost the CORRECT data!

No body answered the Body Bugg question. Are you still using it? Why did you stop? It sounds interesting but I guess not realistic to use all the time.

I don't know WHAT you copied! I was down 5 lbs but in one week - the thing you have there has never before existed!

I'm being coy about my start and current weights. When it gets to something more palatable, I'll put it up. Indeed, when I began pushing for this idea, I think I specified that people don't have to put their weights down!

Ok guys, I can't figure out what it is that you're doing with the weights. Is it a weekly weigh in? Or what is it? I am clueless since I wasn't checking in here for a few weeks and now I would like to join too.

yes, weekly....we've been setting Friday as a weigh-in day!

I am just so surprised at what difference it made in how my band feels by doing that little five day program. I made some whole wheat Pasta and marinara with ground beef for dinner last night and seriously felt very full with about 15 penne Pasta noodles and some sauce....sure hope this lasts!!

I propose that each week we start a new list with just the pounds lost/gained that week. Fresh week, fresh list. How about that? With no current weight.

I tried to make it as current as possible. Sorry if i missed anyone.

      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.
