I weigh in weekly and plan on posting here to keep me focused. If anybody else wants to post their losses on fridays with me feel free. I figure the more the merrier and we can cheer each other on as we start climbing back down the scale! Personally I find Fridays help keep me focused over the weekends.

Today I am down 1.2lbs from last Friday. Still not on my preop diet yet but am making better choices. I am currently 313 even and hoping to get down to 299.9 (lol) before surgery 4/21. *fingers crossed*

Weighed in this morning and am down .6lbs. It makes me so frustrated because it's not more but then I remember what my week included. An emergency trip out of town, about 10 hours in the car driving, 3 dinners out at restaurants, medieval times w/friends, and going to the movies. I also only exercised 1 day. SOOOO when I factor in all that I had going on I am happy to see that it moved in the right direction but still .6 seems like a token not a "real" loss if that makes any sense.

How was your week?

OK count me in.

I was 328 (ouch:w00t:) at my surgical consult, didn't do to well dropping until recently lost about 10 during the fall and then we started the 50 Million Pound Challenge a couple months ago. Now due to trying to keep off carbs presurgery I'm not following that but am following a little bit of a couple things and trying to keep the white carbs out.

Today I was 295 I wanted to be below 300 before surgery now lets see if I can get down to 290 by next Friday (surgery day). I think the 2 day Clear liquids before surgery and the stuff I have to drink the night before could make that goal a reality.:confused:

Hey guys

Well it's friday here in little old NZ, and weighing in today at 128.7kg or 283lb is Lingling. That's total loss of 8.7kg or 19lb.

I thought it would be cool to work out how much weight we have lost as a group and cheer each other on - so have made a little spreadsheet, anyone can join - this is just the people who have contributed so far, and I will do a new one after everyone has posted each week. You just have to all tell me your pre-pre-op diet weight and of course this weeks weight so that we can work out total weight lost!! yayay!!xx

I leave early in the morning for surgery so I'm posting tonight. I've been on 2 protien shakes and one meal a day since Sunday and for the last 2 days (Wed and Thur) I've been on Clear Liquids and had to drink stuff to help clean things out but I'm at 288 so far tonight. I see LingLing's spread sheet has a high weight column at my surgical consult in October I was 328.

      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!
