pjpt = posting just to post

I figure after 2 babies and weight loss of 80+ lbs, I'm going to need PS so I'm not getting too worked up about where the weight is coming off. Once it's all done, I foresee at TT and Boob lift/implant in my future. Kinda like the 6 million dollar woman--rebuilt stronger and better....

I thought you had revision surgery already when you got your port replaced?

Remember there is a live chat at 9 Eastern/8 Central tonight in the Chat Room entitled July Butterflies. Come drop in if you can.

I posted this on the July Butterflies Master Thread and wanted to post here too in case some of you are coming here but not stopping by at our other general thread. "... I see some of the other threads of bandees and THEY are so WAY better than us at posting and keeping it together. How about we all make a commitment to post something at least once a day? Even if it's posting just to post, post something! Example: Good morning. I feel good today because... or I feel bad today because.. or I feel blah today because.... or I have absolutely nothing to say so I thought I'd just say HI! C'mon folks, let's get our thread going and keep in touch so that we can support each other through this journey."

OK, I'm getting pretty tired of this being a one-side conversation folks! I see some of the other threads of bandees and THEY are so WAY better than us at posting and keeping it together. How about we all make a commitment to post something at least once a day? Even if it's posting just to post, post something! Example: Good morning. I feel good today because... or I feel bad today because.. or I feel blah today because.... or I have absolutely nothing to say so I thought I'd just say HI! C'mon folks, let's get our thread going and keep in touch so that we can support each other through this journey.

Hi Brandy. Just wondering how you are doing now post-op? Has the swelling gone completely down?

You look great Josh! BTW, I thought you were cute before too! :thumbup: I wish I had your metabolism.

OK, the room July Butterflies is open now.

Well, I was going to open it but it looks like they've made some changes and I don't know if I can figure out how to create a room now.

Letting you know the lunch chat "July Butterflies" is now open.

I didn't really know what restriction was like until my 4th fill. I don't know if that was the sweet spot or not but I did know that it made eating an unpleasant experience. I got my 4th fill 2 weeks ago and it seems to have loosened somewhat in the past few days. Although I still get hungry every 2 to 3 hours, when I do eat, I stop eating after about 4 ounces of solid food because anymore makes it uncomfortable. I don't necessarily feel satieted, just uncomfortable.

Your pics look great! So soon after surgery too! Do you see even more improvements in the healing now?

Another 1/2 lb... Now if I can only reach my mini goal and break 190 by the end of the month!

My weight loss is agonizingly slow.... After the initial drop in the first 2 weeks, I've average 3-4 lbs per month. On a bright note, when it does go down, even by 1/2 a pound, I always feel like doing a happy dance. At least I am going down and not up. I was definitely on an upward trajectory when I got banded.

Congratulations Karen. Your journey is truly inspiring. I hope you will post some b/a pics. As you stated earlier, they are very inspirational.

I'm ready for the election to be over already! DH and I early voted yesterday. At 2:30 PM on a Saturday afternoon there was no wait at all. Took our 8 year old daughter with us to expose her to the political process now.

Only 1/2 a lb but for me it all counts!

Wow Josh. What fantastic progress! You'll be at goal in no time. Do you have any progress pics?

Parents have that special way of making us feel 5 years old! :eek:

I know you know this, but you never go wrong if you put your child first. You don't get a do over with a child but there are plenty of fishes in the sea...

Mac, there are rabid dogs on that site on both sides of the political divide that just make me sick. I just can't go there anymore.

So glad to hear the surgery went well and Renewed is feeling good.

How good is it Fanny? Are you back home for the weekend?:thumbup:

How exciting! Less than one week! Good luck and thank you for sharing your PS journey with us.
