Argon's Activities



Recommended Posts

Congratulations to you, Argon, to you, Donna D, and to you, Lisa in TO. You all are now a bunch of little skinny pants! And this is absolutely fab. :girl_hug:ies from Green. I am still crawling around the house trying to recover from a) the aftershock of the facelift and :P the cold from Hell!!!!!! I must say that the face and neck do look really snazzy but this has been the toughest thing, physically speaking, that I have ever put myself through. Ouch! Of course I do have the pain threshhold of a man. On the other hand, while it takes me months to recover from a simple cold I usually do bounce back from surgery very quickly.

Once again, big congrats and hugs. :biggrin1:

GREEN!!!!! How Ya Doin'??? I wanna get together for coffee soon so you can show off and I can sort of show off, and we can catch up. I'm home for another 15 minutes, then back around 10:00. Call me??!!!:heh::heh:

By the way, GREEN, believe it or not, I'm still driving around in my dear old Altima....at least for as long as it is willing to carry me about.

Grrl, I swear I will phone you this weekend. And I am verrrry pleased to hear that the grrl car is still running. Maybe we can do coffee on Sunday????

I've enrolled in a Learn to Run Class at the Running Room, and I've just come in from a run. Feels so good!!! (especially at the end when we get to go to starbucks for a coffee). Anyhow I'll be home for a while although I must go out and get some clothes that fit. Call me, and we'll get something together.

I'm up for that.

Me, too!!! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you Donna D and Green. Busy week!

I lost 20 lb. on pre-op diet, and initially lost fairly quickly during the post-op period. I know from reading this site, that I am very, very lucky to have lost fairly quickly since my surgery July 5/07. I have a 10 cc Inamed band and am at optimal fill for now at 2.25 cc. I am soooo glad I did this!!! I am slowing down in my weight loss now- about a lb. every 2 weeks , but it's still going in the right direction. Now I'm just deciding whether to ask Dr Yau to do a revision on my site, also known as the "3rd boob" 'cuz it sticks out so much. Also, the bruising has never gone away completely- not sure why this is.

Anyhow (she rambled) I would so much love to get together with you two before the "hectic season" begins. Are either of you going to the TLBC Bash at the Airport??

By the way, it's SNOWING outside as I write this--Yuch.

Hey Wheezy! How's it going with you???

I'm about a snug 10 or comfortable 12 in pants right now. Tops.. probably a Large for sure. My 2 winter coats are Mediums though..

It's so weird. I'd loooove to be at goal by the time I go home for Christmas, but I don't know if it's going to happen. I don't really care, honestly.

You have been terrifically successful. Congratulations to you, Argon. :clap2::clap2::clap2: And hi to you, Wheezy. :biggrin1: It has been awhile.... ;)

Mandy, size 10 and 12, how I wish!!!!! That's awesome.

I'm a verrrrry slow loser but I am losing. As of yesterday, I am down 36 lbs. It's taken me 15 months to lose it.

I have to go to Mississauga for an educational on a coagulation instrument in December, I might go for a fill then since I will be only a few blocks away from the Clinic.

Nice to hear from you and Green and hello to everyone.

Cheers

Wow, it looks like some of the old timers have come out of the woodwork. Good to see some of those people that held my hand about this time last year as I was crapping in my pants about having the surgery.

Anyone ever hear from the Yodas?

Andrew

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
