Don't worry about me, I don't have much to say lately anyway.

Having said that, I want to apologize for not being here much lately. Between my husbands campaign, and craft season upon us, I've been really, really busy. And, I've been missing you guys.

Well, I was planning on staying in the shadows for a while longer, but I guess now is as good a time as any to say hi. (Cloe: I'm just going to borrow your thread for a minute because I'm not brave enough to start my own yet)

I was banded at tlbc on Sept 14 and am down 38 pounds already (including pre-op diet) Yey me!

The boys are already taking notice of me! Today a homeless boy offered to make me dinner at my place if I gave him some change. I declined.

I've been reading your posts (Canada Local Lap-band) for about 2 months now and I think you guys are just hilarious. You guys have been a great source of support for me even though you didn't know it. You have influenced me so much that I'm going to buy a crock pot this weekend...and I hate to cook. I just can't resist those recipes though.

Anyway, that's about it for me.

*waves* howdy BrightFuture (appropriate nic).

Glad u joined us. I can understand why it took ya while though; I mean, certain folks can be quite intimidating (glares at Cloe and Mandi)...but you just have to learn to ignore them (sometimes they go off their meds...but truly, they are harmless).

Welcome and congrats on the amazing job you have done so far!!

Perhaps that homeless boy was the same one who wanted Green's liver!! hehe

Where ya from? Give us some more info on you *whips file out to take notes*.

Don't be a stranger.

Thanks Yoda.

I forgot about the stats...I live downtown Toronto and work as a Research Analyst at a tv station. I'm single, never been married and no kids. I live alone; not even a goldfish to speak of. I like long walks by the beach and candle lit dinners. :)

Thanks! I feel the need to mention that I'm a super-sized bandster (starting BMI of over 60) becuase I've heard that weight comes off a little quicker for us in the beginning. But, alas, the 38 pounds is just beginning of a very long journey for me. I'm hoping to lose an additional 160 pounds.

Welcome BrightFuture!!!!!

Don't mind Yoda, Mandi and I are harmless. Yoda forgot to mention that she met us in the assylum, therefore she's as whacked as us, tee hee.

BrightFuture, my BMI was 57.7 when I started, it's down to about 45-46 now. I think the higher the number starts, the more exciting it all is!!

To all you lurkers:wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: your missing the party, get in here!!!!!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
