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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
