Shiny Toy Guns Concert!

I have had a really terrible week so I thought I'd blog about something I LOVE....Shiny Toy Guns!

Wednesday was my 8th Shiny Toy Guns concert.  This time was a little different though, since I've met some cool people over the last year.  In November, I met a girl completely by fate online who is a huge fan and goes to the college I attended, less than 20 minutes from where I now live.  We drove to DC together for a concert after only meeting one time in person before.  Here are a few photos from that show:

The show on Wednesday was a lot different.  Instead of being another fan like usual, I was helping to promote the Satellite group (Shiny Toy Guns street team) to fans, which allowed me back stage access.

I spent a lot of time promoting the Satellite group, but a good friend from college came to the show and it was so good to hang out with him!

Me and Adam... Disclaimer: That is NOT my beer.

Since I'd been busy "working" during the fan meet and greet, STG came out to say hi and take a photo with us.  It was really cool that they took the time out because it was late and it was obvious they were kind of "in" for the evening.

P.S. apparently my camera lens was dirty, not my pants lol

I wish I could see the 50ish pound loss from the November concert more, but I wont complain.  By the next time I see them, whenever that may be, I hope to be at goal!

The show itself was amazing, as always.  There's something about the combination of loud music, bright lights, and singing fans that Shiny Toy Guns just GETS RIGHT.  Even though the venue was nowhere near sold out, the crowd seemed to Love STG, even those who had never heard of them before.

This was definitely the highlight to my otherwise completely shitty week!

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Shake Shake Shake, Shake your...... blender ball!

  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Donna for introducing me to MyBariatricPantry.com !!!!  They sell protein powder by the tub or in samples (as well as other products).  I chose to go with 35 different samples. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know I've always been the "I hate protein powder" type of girl. Not anymore. So I wanted to share that with you. So far I have tried: Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle Syntrax Nectar Caribbean Cooler Matrix Mint Cookie  (mmmmmmmmm) The Matrix Mint Cookie seriously tasted like a mint chocolate chip milkshake (but melty).  I bet if I put it in a blender with some ice, it would be as good as a milkshake. I will be buying that one in the huge tub!  All have been great so far though! Also, every single morning it seems like I see a new lower number! Eff yes!
