Chat



Recommended Posts

Thought I'd start a chat thread so people can post when they enter the room - if someone's online, but not logged in, they'll get the email that someone's in the chat room if they've subscribed to this thread.

How's that for a semi-solution to not having hard and fast chat times?

It's 6:16pm PST on Wednesday, 4/21/04, and I'm in the chat room.

Hope to see someone there!!

Thats a great idea i like to chat with people find out more about the person, my only problem is that when im on line no-one else is as our times are different but hopefully i might catch someone there would be nice. Well done

Good idea Donali!

Maybe if all of us just make it a habit to head into chat when we come to the site we will all have more luck finding another member in there that tends to hang around at the same times that we do? I think we all stop even looking and that really cuts anyones chances of finding anyone there. I think Ill go in there right now and take a peek!

I went into chat a few times this morning and hung out for awhile... no luck catching anyone for a little conversation... so went out and worked in the yard instead. (o:

nightingale,

I think the idea is that when you want to chat, you add to the post Donali started, which will bump it into the "new posts" area, then others popping in will know you're there.

I think.

I'm new around here. Plus, I hate puters cuz there's too much learning that needs to get done, for example, getting around these threads! I have so much I need to talk about. I'm getting banded in 2 weeks, but I might kill myself with food before then. I'm sure a lot of people have gone through "The Last Supper" trying to eat everything in site before the operation, but geeezzzee... it's killing me. Maybe I'll eat so much that I'll get tired of eating, kinda reverse psychology so I won't need the band. Oh, and I'm supposed to go on a low, low calorie diet a week prior to the surgery???? HELP! If I could do that, I wouldn't need the band. Anyone wanna come to Las Vegas to babysit me till then? Wah wah wah, I want my mommy. Wait, I don't have a mommy, she's the one that screwed me up so mentally that I weigh over 300 pounds. You can tell me to shut up now. I just want someone to talk to.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
