swizzly

Yeah it'll just 'sit there' until I delete it. I spent a long time setting it up, it doesn't just disappear. Like me?

That's awesome and also you look AWESOME!! Well done you! Time DOES fly...I'm nearly three years out, can't believe that.

Heya, OD -- you're in! You've already posted there too! :-) Go check your emails at the address you signed up with and you will see posts in there... Anyone else? Pretty please?? So far we've now got: cowgirljane, M2G, Cathy UK, feedyoureye, Oregon Daisy, me -- and I've just sent an invite to Sarsar. Cheri? Brown? coops? Laura-ven? Globetrotter? Georgia? Chimera? Ms Skinniness? Supersweetums? (Am I forgetting anyone???) Look at all the font-y colour-y love there... :wub:

I haven't read the entire thread, sorry. But I'm nearly three years out -- and have NEVER had any problems...of any kind! I count myself super lucky. But I'm not the only one! :-)

Hiya OD -- I've just invited you again with the new address, let me know!! The address, confusingly, of my email does NOT have an "L" in it -- it's d dot swizzy ... my paranoia knows no bounds...

Hi ODaisy - I've added you via your email address you included in your post, so you should have an invitation in your inbox. Once you've clicked into it, you'll be in. Bada bing!! Me, cowgirljane, M2G and Cathy UK are already there -- come join the party!! :-) xoxo

OMG, I LOVE the WHBM skinny ponte trousers, I have three pair of them now (each is a little different of course )! LOL Mine are size 6, but I'm also a big girl. They are super flattering and comfortable...worth every penny. I do love skinny trousers and jeans in general cos I'm an "inverted triangle" shape -- 1-2 sizes bigger on top than on bottom...no hips. Alas...it's better than being quite heavy!

Hi all -- I can't access or send PMs here either, with the exception of one that came through. SO RANDOM. Anyhoo...just email me on d dot swizzly at g mail and I'll add you to that google group. It's dead simple!

Cheri, so sorry to hear about the shingles! I've had other friends who've gotten that too and I know it can be very painful. I hope you will recover quickly!!

It doesn't matter what email you use, so far people have different ones including hotmail. I've added a few here already, but it's nighttime here, so I'll do more in the morning. :-) Once you're added, you just email the group name and it goes to everyone in the group, or you can also read the discussions on the google group page.

NB: You don't have to login to anything -- when you send me your email address, I'll invite you -- they you just email the google group and it goes to everyone. Easy peasy.

LOL -- I can't use the PM system either. Sheezus. What a pain. You can email me on d dot swizzy -- also on gmail.

I've started a google group for this discussion (we don't have to move the entire forum there, but it might be good for private discussions?) -- so if you want to join, PM me your email address!

Hi everyone -- PM me your email address so you don't have to post it out here, and I'll set up a google group for us. If we use it, great; if we don't, it's not that difficult to set up! And then we can have threaded conversations there that only we can see. I will call it 5:2 something so you will know what it is...

Easy peasy is to set up a google group, just need everyone's email addresses. Or if we are all on fb, can do secret group there, but harder to have good convos with that interface.

Wish I could be of any help! I'm fat and depressed and angry and lost. :-( Loves to you all...

Testing to see if my surgery info changed... :-) ETA: Yay, it did! Thanks, Ms S!!

Ha! I clicked on the huge "CLICK HERE FOR TECHNICAL ISSUES" bar at the top of the page (cos I want that GD Lap Band OFF my info/profile!) and it says "error, you don't have permission for this" or similar. LOL. Great!!

I have a bookmark to this thread -- an old VST bookmark, and it redirects right to this thread. Bada bing!

Daisy, are you able to see/post? I hope so, it's your thread!! Are you feeling any better after all the crying? I feel bad to think of you being sad and lonely. :-( I sometimes think I could do with about a week straight of crying, but I've turned it off for so long I don't know if I could do it anymore. I feel kind of out of touch with my own life. I only fasted once this week, on Thursday. Thank god for that anyhow. Thinking of you all <3

Yay!!! :-) How's the recovery going?

I can see everything too...as long as on PC! :-)

(Oy, hating that it says I'm a LAP-BAND patient under my avatar, wtf?)

I don't use the app much cos it already sucked before. I can only access our 5:2 group via direct links from email notifications. Annoying. But I don't think anyone posted anything yesterday -- or if they did, I didn't get any notifications... You were the last one to post in there -- maybe it was down while they switched the interface?

I also lost loads of hair from months 3-7 (ish), by the handfulls! I have always eaten at least 1000 cals + a lot of Protein, I think the loss is just down to surgery and rapid weight loss. Now nearly three years out...and my hair started coming out again (not as bad as before!!) a couple of months ago, which has happened pre-sleeve too. I think it's my GD thyroid acting up. Siiiiiggghhhh....
