Alexandra?



Recommended Posts

just wanted to say Hi to Alexandra - haven't "seen" you for ages and hoping you're ok - missing all your good advice here - Have you gone into hiding to watch the new Lord of the Rings movie over and over????!!!

take care, and know you're missed!

Hey Bright! Thanks so much for thinking of me. Only part of my absence is due to the miracle that is ROTK. (Two times and counting...) ;) You know how life can just go crazy sometimes, especially with kids.

I'm so thrilled that this site is hopping; I've been lurking with dedication and reading almost every message. :D But there's just not so much going on with me, band-wise, so I'm hanging on the sidelines.

No news is definitely good news, though! My weight has been hovering within two pounds of what you see below, and I'm just thrilled it's not been a hassle to keep it there. And all of a sudden, as I mentioned elsewhere, my restriction has suddenly reappeared and that's fine with me too. Maybe I'll get to change my signature before too much longer.

Happy holidays, Bright, and thanks again!!

Hi Bright and Alexandra

Funny. As I signed on tonight I was thinking the same thing - i.e. haven't heard from Alexandra in a while.

Glad you're OK - and keeping up with a positive attitude - even if you're a bit at a plateau.

Happy Holidays to both of you.

Mary

funny...I have been reading and watching everything that has been going on,too...just not saying much. It seems like we work so hard to get our band- worry, fret, think, research, etc...then we get it and it's like...oh...back to regular life!

I am hovering, too Alexandra...but get a second fill on the 29th. I am hoping that jump starts my loss again...but like you- it hasn't been this insane battle to keep off what I have lost. What a feeling.

I hope everyone has a very happy holiday and that the next year brings you your hearts desires!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
