I'm "Jolly Bandit"

Some say that all Fat people are Jolly. Now How does the computer know I'm Fat.

I can't wait to be a Jolly skinny person.

Midnight Mastermind...how do they know this stuff? Maybe I'm paranoid, but do they link my name with my computer and start sending out virus e-mails they hope I will open and infect my computer? Lately i have been getting virus e-mails from someone who looks like it should be my dad. Only 1 initial is wrong, otherwise, I would have thought he had changed his e-mail and opened it...Norton caught it. Can websites do this?

Actually, with name generators, they just have a list of names (or in this case, they have a list of predetermined words.) and they match those words with a pattern. It would be based on the first few characters or the length or it could be completely random and not based on anything at all.

They cannot link your name with your computer as a general rule.

As long as you install the updates for your operating system as they come out, as long as you install the updated signature files for your anti-virus and keep your spyware blockers updated, you should be fine.

Never open an e-mail if you do not know the person. Never answer mails that appear to be from PayPal, eBay, etc where they claim your acount will be closed. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORDS, PINS, SSN or other such pass phrases or codes. NEVER EVER

      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!!

      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! 😞
