I have really enjoyed this challenge. I did not meet my goal of 180 (missed it by 5 lbs) but I did lose 12 lbs in about 8 weeks.

I am pleased with the weightloss and look forward to the next challenge....Good luck!!!

I will not make my goal. But, I am working on my mental block of not getting down on myself. I set a pretty stretch goal. I am at a strange place right now. I have never lost more than 40 lbs before starting the upswing to a higher weight. I think another challenge would be great to help me bust thru this mental block.

Cinco de mayo or Mother's day would be good.

Well, I wont' be making my goal. I had a pretty aggressive one of 30 lbs. given I just got banded in December (3rd) and am still working through Bandster Hell.

Anyway, I did lose 17 lbs in the challenge and hope to increase that before Valentine's Day. Hopefully once I am feeling restriction, I will be able to drop the rest of the weight I wanted to lose for this challenge - and more!

I'm two pounds away from goal...it is possible to make it, but it'll be a close call! I haven't hit a goal yet, so I'll be thrilled if I pull this one out in the end!

      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!
