I am a retired teacher and notice spelling and grammar more than most people. I have noticed that people on this site tend to use the spelling "loose" as a verb ie I want to loose weight. In fact, "loose" is the adjective form of the verb "lose" ie I am trying to "lose" weight. (the word "lose" shows action and is a verb) In the spelling "lose" the "s" sounds like a "z". My clothes are getting very "loose". (the word "loose" is an adjective describing the clothes) In the spelling "loose" the "s" is an "s" sound. Lynda

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I am a HS English teacher and this bugs me too. I also see, "I have had a 4 pound lost", instead of "loss". My sister tells me that when I point out things like that no one wants to be my friend! LOL

I usually look past the spelling and typing errors....including my own I'm sure.

After all it's not english class or a spelling bee :w00t:

I like to read what people have to say even if they don't know how to spell or use proper english.

It was a spelling error that allowed 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to board a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day. The young man claimed to be an agent of al-Qaida, and attempted to blow the plane up.

I'm just saying...

IMHO, the worse is the "Texters", who continue their texting spelling here. U no wht I mean? (I'm not much of a "Texter" as you can see)

A spelling error here and there is not a big deal! Let it go people...lets focus on what is at hand here.

p.s. I'm a teacher too and not bothered at all!

Chris, what is at hand here is what ever anyone wants to talk about. If you read the posts here you will see conversations from nipple piercing to Sarah Palin (just some posts here on top tonight)

Just people with questions, issues, problems, gripes or whatever.

BTW, you sooo sound like a teacher!:(

The more we use improper English, we eventually become use to it, and it begins to sound alright. Hang on to your education. It may become a precious commodity one of these days.

      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.
