MAY 2009 Bandsters - shout out!!!



Recommended Posts

I am planning on a full 7 days off (Wed-Tues) and the option for the Wed-Fri following if necessary. A lot of people here and in groups have mentioned going back to work the next day!!! Hopefully you will recover quickly if you are expected to get right back to work... Take extra care of yourself if you do!!!

Here's a shout-out for my fellow May-bes! After much waiting, I'm going into surgery on May 18th, in Australia.

Since I'm a teacher and the 18th is a Monday I plan to have the whole week off work. (My boss has been very accommodating, although he thinks I'm having a hernia operation.)

Best of luck to you all, I look forward to hearing about your journey!

Hi All, I have been moved to May for my band. The date hasn't been set until blood test results return. I do have approval from insurance though so all is well. I'm excited about this!

Hello-

I am new and my surgery is scheduled for May 4th! I would love to join the May Banditos club but can't seem to figure out where to find it?

Yea for May! I'm on the 8th, it's quickly approaching.

I quit my job in December because it was so terrible. I didn't think I'd still be out of work, but maybe it's a little bit of divine intervention so I don't have to worry about rushing back to work before I'm ready or what I'd tell my boss. At least that's the way I'm choosing to look at it!

      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.

        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
