Ohh.. and dont forget the ever popular:

6. I hate it when people use the boards to have conversations directed only at one or two other people.

By the way Kathy and StrawartS, this has been fun but I'm going to bed now. Nite nite you two. Do try to stay out of trouble ok?

You guys crack me up. I am dying over here.

OK I was asked to voice my opinions as another moderator.

1. I think everyone should have the RIGHT to edit their OWN posts.

2. I think everyone should have the RIGHT to delete their OWN posts.

3. I think the deletion of WHOLE threads is a bit much. I would suggest if you really want the thread you started to disappear then ask a Moderator or the Administrator to delete only YOUR posts not the WHOLE THREAD.

I don't think it is appropriate for someone else to delete or edit someone elses words.

Yes, this has happened in the past and not much was said about it. But I do agree with Alexandra that it hasn't happened on this magnitude in this short period of time. There was some valuable information that was deleted recently.

Yes, as Moderators we can go in and UN-DELETE any thread or post, but should we? Do you want us to do that at whim? I don't want that. As a member of LBT I wouldn't want that.

So, it boils down to what is best for the WHOLE board and those decisions will be finalized by Alex, the owner with input from the 4 moderators.

The poll that was started is good for fact finding and to get a "feel" of what everyone wants but in the end it is still Alex's decision what to do. We can either abide by that decision or not.

Just my two cents and some change. LOL!!

I totally agree with this and would have said the same thing myself. Let's face it, a lot of times we say things we wish we hadn't said and I think we have the right to delete what we said. The part I don't agree with is deleting a whole long valuable thread. If you want to take out the portion that involves yourself, then contact one of the moderators and let them remove only what you said. We lost a lot of valuable information in the last week, that could have been avoided.

Please, if you are upset with a thread that you started, contact one of us and let's talk about it before you delete it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
