strange messages and comments??? Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

I have been getting messages from men asking me to email them back and wanting to discuss oil business and crap. And strange women wanting to "get to know me better"... Posting stuff under my pictures...

What is going on? Anyone else getting these?

I like coming here because it's a wonderful place where i can talk to fellow band members.... I really feel violated. I did report it to Alex... lets see. I hope it stops.

I posted about the same thing this morning. Several of us have received it.

Report it, and delete it. It's phishing.....it's a scam. I get this crap through my regular email, and was surprised to see it here. This is the second one since being on the site :angry:

This stuff doesn't bother me when it comes through my regular email. But coming through LBT is weird.

I'm guessing that we'll see more new posts regarding this.... ;)

Yup, I've received them, got one today. I had one last week contact me through private chat also. Then had some weird person contact me that through private chat. I started chatting and she /he did not know what banding was when I told them and asked if they were getting it they said "why not", and they were not over weight, I don't know what they wanted so I just said I had to go. Weird.

over the years there has been periodic waves of infestation of trash spammers, both here and in my own private email accounts

Alex does a great job of cleaning up when such is reported.

Yes, it's annoying and a PIA. Don't know what normal rational people can do about it.

Sort of like pissing in the swimming pool, IMHO.

Don't let the stupid mischief of the addled make too big of a divot in our day.....

      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.
