I want in too!!

My surgery day and beginning stats are in my signature, but I'll do the weekly weigh-in starting now too. Monday works for me, except I won't be here next Monday so I'll do my weigh-in on Tuesday if you don't mind?

7-20-09 239.5

We could always come back next week and edit this post and add the next week's weight under this one. Has anyone tried that yet?

Hi there -

starting weight - 270

pre-surgery- 251

current weight- 234

Lost 36 pounds altogether and 17 pounds since my surgery on July 3rd. I am eating mushy food and can see that the weight loss has really slowed but as long as I don't go up I am not going to worry about it. I know that I can't eat like I used to and that the weight will come off eventually.

Is anybody exercising? That is my next goal. It is really a challenge for me to get off my ass.

Surgery Weight--270 (07/07/09)

Today's Weight--258 (07/27/09)

Last week I was at 262, so that's 4 pounds for me this week! I couldn't be happier. I expected a smaller amount since I went from liquids to pureed foods, but I guess this is what my body needs right now. Good luck to all!

Ugh, I didnt lose anything since last Monday. But I started mushies on Thursday and weighed myself then. I had lost another pound and a half. I gained that back since starting mushies. Im exactly where I was last Monday now. Im not going to be too hard on myself though. I honestly expected it because we put our bodies into starvation mode on this liquid diet. I think my body will stop freakin in the next few weeks. This was honestly to be expected. Its really not good to go down to like a five hundred calories a day which is about what I was doing on the liquid sugar free diet I was on for two weeks. Because as soon as you start feeding yourself again, your body treats 1200 calories like its 3000 because its hanging onto every single calorie afraid that your still starving. I think once my body is back on track in the next few weeks, I will have a good weight loss again. Gonna stay positive!! :crying:

Surg Date 7/16/2009

7/20/2009 -1.5 lbs total loss 1.5 lbs

7/23/2009 -1.5 lbs total loss 3.0 lbs

7/27/2009 +1.5 lbs total loss 1.5 lbs

That is down 2 for me. I guess that isn't too bad since I am on 'regular' food. The goal is 1-2 lbs a week. So, there you go!

      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.
