Lost radio contact re-established

Hey mission control: here it is five months after surgery on planet banded. All is going well and I now am a changed astronut. I have lost five pant sizes and three shirt sizes. I have had to visit the local clothing store but this is a new experience for me, I have always shopped with omar the tent maker and they dont have TENT makers on this planet. Thank God for that.   Now I have tokens left to outfit the spacecraft properly and not just with hughe tents to cover the old frame. Now

Mission control update

Well space doctors report that 3x is doing grt. He went through a time warp and went back another three pounds. He is now down 73lbs from when lift off took place on April the 17th. Currently he is floating in weightless limbo.

Mission on crusie

Houston:   Here is 3x, just on crusie control, have not seen lapband beast for awile, however I did experience its control over me. It was not a very good feeling either. Got space sickness but this was due to the mission issued food I think, just ate to big of bites, the tubes are not easy to adjust. This needs to be re-thunk.   Have noticed that when the lapband beast is not on my mind, then I seem to not loose weight, this is not a good thing as being to heavy is dangerous to me and th

Report to mission Control

Houston: WE HAVE SUCCESS     A report from the outer planet today reveiled that Astronaught 5X has encountered the mysterious Lapband beast and the beast is winning. Sent to this galaxy at 411lbs, 5x has been shrinking and is now at 344lbs.   This report on the beast is being released to those at mission control to show that the beast is not alien and against us but just is doing what it was designed to do. And that is to help mankind. The only thing that it requires is input of desire

"Heresheis" band

Well here it finally is:notagree the band is in place and I am at home for a week. Took the week off so I would feel like working. I find it hard to get enough water and protein each day but know that this will get better as the days go by.

I even bought my daughter a new
