Well done, and greatly appreciated



Recommended Posts

I want to give a great round of appreciation to all moderators and Alex for keeping the sanity for us. I have my PC in my living room where my children are welcome to observe my computer usage, as I maintain the right to monitor there usage. There is a great deal of hi emotions (perhaps because we are all hungry lol) and great thinkers here. I am so grateful to have free speech and I am also grateful to be able to manage my responsibility, to respect and defer to others.

Most of all I am very graterfull to be able to seek support from the comfort and privacy of my own home. This technology widens our "family" boundaries to the entire globe. What an awesome privilege. I hope that there are others who have silently appreciated the excellent Job of our moderators. If we think about what their title is, MODERATOR, That means to me anyway to remove the extremes, and keep things in the middle ground. Not an easy task, especially because we are human an I know how extreme I have been in the past about some issues. So much of it remains objective. Lets face it, I couldn't do this job nor would I be able to do it,24-7, without pay and frequently under great scrutiny.

So I want to say right now to all of our moderators. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the top of it as well!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :o :kiss2: :) :clap2:

I agree!!!!!!!!!! I have sat here and pondered why would anyone want to stand in that line of inevitable fire. It takes a special person to do such a thankless job and my hat is off to our moderators.

Thanks ya'll.:clap2:

Thank you that is most appreciated. I must say it has been trying over the last few days but here is to hoping it is all calm and smooth waters from here on.

I'd like to add my thanks to Alex and Penni who took the time to listen and care about everyone involved from an unbiased position. I know that Penni was put in a hard place over the last few days, but trust me.. she was very gracious, kind, supportive, and encouraging to me during a time when she was under a lot of stress. For that I thank her. And Alex just rocks. He came into the chat room with several of us last night and gave us time to express our concerns to him. He was very intent on finding the best possible solution to the upheaval of things with everyone's best interest at heart.

I have served as an Admin/Moderator of chatrooms and online games and I am very aware of how time consuming it and annoying it is to have to babysit people who should be adult enough to handle themselves. It is typically a thankless job in which you cannot please everyone. I'm glad someone started this thread so the people who give their time and energy to LBT can get a pat on the back.

It's nice to arrive here today and see that things are peaceful again. I hope it can stay that way.

And now, back to our previously scheduled program...

I agree completely. I was gonna PM Penni and let her know that I was feelin' for her, but public forum is just as good! (Since someone else brought it up that is... I'm a wus, lol).

I concur! Mods, great job. Being neutral in a place where you also share your feelings isn't easy to do.

I too would personally like to thank Alex, Alexandra, & Penni!! You are all wonderful and gracious people. I am thankful for the job you do and I wish I could do more than a public thank you. Maybe I would send flowers or Protein shakes! :hungry: God bless you all!!

This will have to do for now.....

      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.
