made darn mistake in poll... lol

4month progress... guess poll should be taken at end of month....

So... my mini goal for the 4th month (April) will try to loose atleast 15pounds and I know this is a big number again but I gotta atleast try. If I loose anything and keep it off then it still awesome.

I'll be placing my weight in at 233.. I got 1 month. I also understand my body will plateau soon so I gotta mix it up.

When you do the new poll for NEXT month . . . isn't there an option to have the person's name listed in the vote also? That would be kinda cool. Just an idea!

My goal for this month is to establish an exercise program of at least 3 days per week. I begin tomorrow. I saw a personal trainer yesterday and he designed a program for me including cardio machines, free weights, and Water aerobics at the hospital wellness center where I had my surgery.

Thanks for thinking about it Chris. My trip was awesome. Anartica was more than beautiful. My mouth hung open the entire trip. We saw some amazing scenery and beautiful contries. I was gone 3 plus weeks and gained 10 pounds. I was on a cruise and most of the food didn't agree with me. Their meats and fish were too overcooked to break down and I couldn't eat their part-cooked vegetables. I ate a lot of potatoes, eggs, cheese and milk. I pb'd 2 meals a day for 3 days in a row and had many more episodes on the trip. It was embarrassing to have to leave the table in the middle of dinner. I finally asked that we be seated at a table for 2 and they granted me my wish. Some of the time I ate too fast, some of the time I didn't chew enough. I was in the beginning stages of learning to live with the band. I think I would do much better now. The good news is that I will have been back a month tomorrow and I have lost those 10 pounds already. Tomorrow I go for my second fill. It's back to the drawing board on learning what you can and cannot eat. I have my second salad tonight since banding. I treated my self the night before as I did before the first fill. I guess I could have eaten one sooner - just didn't try. Guess it will be another 6 weeks before I try one again.

My father went into the hospital the day after we got home. He had caught the flu while we were on our trip. To make a long story short, he died 5 days later so it was off to Pennsylvania for the funeral. For the first time in many, many years, I did not gain any weight going home. In fact I lost 2 pounds.

My weight loss isn't going fast but it's going down which is what I want. I am in hurry. I'm ready for a fill. I am eating healthily but I think I am eating more at each meal than I should.

I am going to a labband conference the first weekend in May. I found it on another forum that someone here mentioned. I am excited to be going. It's in Charlotte, NC and is only about a 4 hour drive from here. I am going by myself and will get to spend one evening with my Aunt and Uncle who live near there. I haven't visited them in 20 years. Looks like it will be well-attended and they have a nice agenda.

Went in for my fill yesterday and a weigh in. I have updated my ticker! I have lost 48 pounds in 4 months!!! How awesome is that???

I am only 12 pounds from being able to say "just overweight" not obese!!! I am so looking forward to that!!!!!!! Just fat. I'm just fat. How awesome will that feel????

I need to focus on liquids and exercise this month. I am starting to get saggy arms and they are going to look awful in tanks...so that is my focus this month. If I do those things those 12 pounds will come with!

      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.

      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
