March Bandsters: MASTER THREAD



Recommended Posts

I think Fenton is gone. He hasn't been back to LBT since 8/24.

He's not answering emails either. I know he is leaving for a month in Paris on the 9th. Maybe he will get in touch when he returns.

It's too bad. Perhaps we will have to wait for his next book to see his new picture.

Me and my tattoo'd co-workers made the front page of the local paper yesterday.....thought I'd share the article with you for fun!

Wish you could see the other pictures.......

StandardNET/Standard-Examiner

Interesting article. Depending on what part of the country you live in tattoos/piercings can be a really big issue. Not so much here in NY, but in Kansas City where my sister lives, if you're white its really frowned on.

I like your job description "a motor clothes consultant"

Why we want Fenton back:

1. We need some testosterone to help offset all the estrogen from us lady bandsters!

2. We want to hear about life in the big city --NYC!

3. We want to be able to Celebrate with him when he changes his ticker to say -100 lbs lost!

4. We want to know how his new book writing is coming along.

5. We want to hear about Paris so we can live vicariously through his adventures and gourmet meals.

6. We want to hear all about your first fill!!

7. We want to hear about his cat and his blender...of course never in the same sentence...Fenton would never do that!

8. The suspence of not knowing if he's back on the wagon or not is killing us.

Fenton if you are out there....please come back.... Maybe you'd like to meet one day in NYC. We could chat.

Greetings Shamrocks!

I am convinced I have hit the sweet spot. The weight loss has FINALLY kicked it. (It is hard to watch week after week when everyone else is losing and I was not!) I hit 250 this morning on the scale. I can't wait for the next .1 pound and I will be in the 240's! This puts my total at 37 pounds now! I am thrilled!

Anyone else so busy this September? I'm not sure what it is about the month of September, but I am usually so crazy busy!

Hi Shamrocks - I passed my PMP exam for my job today that I was studying for, and stressing over too, and now that is such a relief. I have to just keep up with continuing education to keep it current. Thanks for the well wishes and prayers.

P.S. It is fun seeing some of you adding to the Why we want Fenton back.

Congratulations HopeinApril-- that is great. I'm sensing the same frustration because I've been stuck in the same numbers for a few weeks now but I had a fill Monday and am hoping this kicks me to the sweet spot. I am surprised I haven't lost anything though in 2 days on full liquids which I have in past fills so this could be my time to hang in there and be patient. Thanks and keep up the good work! We know its not magic but work to get us to our goal. :biggrin:

SpecialK :omg_smile::thumbup::scared2::thumbup::tongue2:

That is awesome about the test. I know how much you were focused on that! That has to be a ton of stress off of you now!

You never know with the liquids. Mostly, I do lose weight, but sometimes not so much.

Thanks for the congrats and kind words!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
