Do Not Feed The TROLLS



Recommended Posts

A "bump" is when someone posts to a thread just to bring it back to the top of the forum. The thread that was last added to shows up first in the viewing order (unless it has been made sticky, which means a moderator has set it to always show on top). So if someone wants to make sure something stays highly visible, they will "bump" it (aka post something to it) to make it show first.

There are a few threads that explain acronyms and webspeak for band things. "Bump" is generic -- not band/forum specific. I don't know that I've seen a generic "dictionary" pop up here.

I don't think this is a very good thread for newbies. It makes LBT look like nothing but a place where people bicker and fight all the time. It brings up old issues that should be dead and buried. If they need to be informed about trolls, then start a new thread with the important information instead of resurrecting an old thread that involved a lot of controversy. I know you meant will, as I have seen your posts and you definitely seem to be a loving, caring person. I just disagree with bringing this particular thread back. :confused:

Very sorry Susan you took it like that....of course it wasn't my intention. You have brought up an excellent point though. Perhaps it is better to start a new thread instead of including the entire thread....something to definitely consider next time. However the mods would certainly have locked this thread had it been what you described.

The last thing I want newbies or pre-members to think is that LBT is a place of controversy. Really, that was the reason for bumping this thread. Again, I appreciate your feedback and I still feel this is good info as I had NO idea of this until I read the thread. I lived in a small cyber-world b4 LBT.

        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
