April 2006 Bandits' February Challenge



Recommended Posts

I was giggling to myself at the couple of posts about not reaching this months goal, 'cos I am so bad, I don't even know what the goal is, sorry all, I am a bit slack, i am sure I have passed it though, otherwise I wouldn't be saying this, today I had to fight off again at work all the comments about my weight loss and great attitude, I never work with the same people. sometimes I don't see them for years........I don't reveal though it is too personal for me, wow, so the 1st of March is over here already, what is the challenge for us now, and what is our celebration ideas for April!!! Maybe a big chat in the chatroom together?

XX Amourette, no workout today just 15 hours on my feet, 4 of them in killer stillettos hehehe!:)

hello girls:-)

the flu is finally gone. I had my checkup today and I have lost 2,4kg of pure fat(in a month)!!Amourette tell me about dating it kinda sucks and also I dont really know where to find single AND normal guys?? At work?no way,clubs no no (never works out), internet? (hm not sure about that one...)

ADVICE NEEDED: today I got a call from a headhunter, she told me about this job opening and is waiting for my reply. I think I found which company that is and it sounds interesting, definitely I would be more responsible and a "bigger boss", BUT its something new(new people, new enviroment...) and Im scared plus I always question my skills and its in a different city (here its not that normal to move for work). My question is would you try it out just for the heck of it or would you stay safely in your current job? (There probably be more candidates so I dont think that I have that job for sure but would you just try to apply?)

In my current job its safe, I know almost everything, I can slack a bit, I know everybody, but theres not that much to do, my work isnt that valued as it would be there,it would be a new challenge, plus I could get more money.

QUESTION 2:I think someone else was on Effexor as well I would like to know how do you feel if you lower your dose? The truth is I lowerd my dose from 150mg to 75mg and I feel like sh... you name it nightmares, panic attacts, bad concentration, Im tired etc.... I even found out that in the US patients want this medication to be suppressed, due to the side effects...

Thank you for your answers I really dont know what to do.-)

Eficka,

I would apply for the job if I were you. Applying doesn't mean you have to take it, if you find out the money doesn't justify the move, or that you don't really like the people. Just continue to check it out for now and pretend (to them) like it's the best job you could ever dream of. Then, once you have the offer, you can figure out if you really want it.

Good luck deciding.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
