Paula where I have personally attacked you? Send me a pm if I have done so, or copy and paste the sentence - post etc.

If I had truely "attacked" you then I certainly would have responded in a very different manner in my posts.

Point out where I have "attacked" anyone verbally??? even when I was verbally attacked, I did not respond in any manner which was innappropriate.

However, I can say, if I was to be offended (notice that word - I used upset in the first post to Paula - there's a difference) it would be 3loves last post and StrawartS. Which I replied to and I assume that can be construed as attacking? If so, they need to be told by mods also that is not allowed on this board?

If someone sees I have attacked anyone or acted innapropriately, have Alex or a mod contact me PM me and discuss it.

The last post by me this morning was a response to 3loves and was address to her at the top for that specific reason, responding to her quotes and what she said to me.

The last thing I will say because Alexandra asked earlier not to say anything else, is this:

Don't generalize about situations.

The post I had a problem with. i.e. the problem with our buttons being gone/delete thread situation that the newbie's has caused the problem or that it was NO big deal.

Think of it this way:

How would we all feel if someone said all overweight people are lazy? or that All overweight people overeat?

its the same thing - a generalization to a pointed group of people that absolutely is not true.

There will be nothing else said by me on this matter - pm me if you still have a problem. And to think all this started because I stood up for what Kat was saying and all of us "newbies" who were getting blamed.

In the past two weeks, my mother has ended up in the ER three times, was admitted to the acute care hospital once (blood sugar was 34), and was admitted to and discharged from the convalescent hospital in the time it took me to go home, change into my jammies, exhale whining and eat the 3-cup Reese's I got from the hospital vending machine.

Therefore, I have NO idea what this thread is about but I still feel vaguely guilty. (Catholic school in the 1950's and all.)

Will someone who has stayed abreast of this entire mess please pm me and fill me in on all the dirt, because for crap's sake, I need a laugh. (Also, if I'm on one side or the other of some argument, will someone please provide a synopsis of the issue and tell me which side I'm on?)

Thank you for your understanding and I'm very sorry...about something...I think.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
