Friday Weigh-in



Recommended Posts

I think I might have a gain for the first time since last October. Crap!

I ate like crap last weekend and had my birthday on Monday. I have to get it in gear. I think that I need to tell myself just 15 more pounds because I am getting tired of this weight loss journey. I'm ready to get to maintenance.

I will see my family for the first time since December at the end of next month. They don't know that I have lost all this weight. I decided to tan and look really good when I go down. Well now the "girls" are a little burnt. Wow that is a new experience. It sucks!

Next week I have to do better!

After a doozy of a fill this week, I'm down 8 pounds in three days. I'm sure some of that may be liquid, but that's all I've been able to get down since wednesday. I'm down to 218 tonight. I'm hoping to stay that way. I'm still not very hungry even today, but have had a Protein Drink, a single serve cottage cheese, and two cups of coffee so far. I ordered a smaller size uniform at work tonight again too. Boy does that feel good. A XL shirt and 18 pants, and they run very small. Hope fully next week will be a good one too!! I'm ready to start dropping some weight.

Well I weighed in later in the morning last week and I recorded a 0.3 loss. This week I have 1.7 lb loss. I am so close to that goal of no longer being overweight. I know what I started doing wrong. I started focusing on a big goal when I have to focus on ONE POUND AT A TIME. When I started doing that I started eating better and losing weight. I am not going to make it to the gym today. I hate that. The first day I've missed in weeks (except Sunday when they are closed)

Onward and upward....I mean downward! :thumbdown:

How is everyone else doing?

Jill, be sure you aren't too tight. You don't want to fall into soft calorie syndrome.

Holy Cow!!!:tongue2::)

I don't know what I did differently this week, but the scale finally moved!! I'm down 2.2 lbs this week!!!! Dare I say, I'm almost out of the 220's!!!!:cursing:

I use the scale at work (work in a doctors office) and we are closed tomorrow, so I weighed a day early.

Don't worry about it Julie -- I've got a ways to catch up to you. I can't remember what I was, but I think I've lost about 3 pounds since I last posted. I'm so tantilizing close to onederland I can taste it:blink: You all are going to hear a shout of joy coming from California when that happens!

I've had this week off from boot camp (starts again Tues a.m. at 5:30 a.m.:eek:) but I've missed it this week.

Love to you all.

The past week or so I don;t think I really lost anything so next week when I go for my next fill I am going to ask them to add some eventhough I do throw up but that is usally bc I am eating tooo fast or because I didn't chew well enough. Like right now I ahve a peice of peach stuck I feel in my throat and I feel soo uchhy!!! well try to keep u more updated.

Still not in onederland but I was down .7 pounds this a.m. (haven't changed myticker yet). I read, on another thread, that there was some study that was done about weight plateau's. Evidently, it shows that if you were at a certain weight for a lengthy period of time as you were gaining weight, when you lose weight you "plateau" at that weight for awhile because your body 'remembers' it. And there's some correlation between how long you stay and that plateau and how long you were at that weight. Don't know if it's true or not. But I went through a phase last month when I was really eating "clean" and exercising like a maniac and I didn't lose anything for, like 3 weeks. I was losing my mind too. Hang in there Julieann

Trying to get back to weighing in and being accountable. I weigh 174.2. I'm okay with that as long as I lose every week.

      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
