Hey fellow Canucks,

I just want to say thank you!!! I am so happy that we live up to our Canadian reputation and that we are all peaceful and get along and none of our threads result in the juvenile crap that has occurred in some other threads.

I would expect nothing less from fellow Canadians.

I like LBT....but I LOVE our Canuck thread.

Thank you all for being you and for being true, north, strong and free!

I was thinking that our relatively low numbers (as compared to the U.S.) makes for a cosy chatroom, and yet we have all the resources of the boys and grrls in the big sand box next door. It's kinda like real life, eh?

Actually, Jack, I think you are. I think that you were supposed to be south lower British Columbia. (I'd give you a wink but I opted for the quick reply, eh.)

when my mom was crossing into the US border (couple of years ago) she showed her Canuck passport. Of course, the passport indicated that she was born in NewWestminster British Columbia. The border guard started giving her a tough time...asking her why she was in possession of a Canadian passport if she was born in British Columiba (thinking it was the UK). Oh veeeey!

(not to mention you can be born out of the country and still have a Cdn passport).

When I was a kid, I thought where you were born determined what you looked liked. I called a kid a liar when she told me her father was born in Japan because he didn't look Japanese!

Hi all - I figure since my grandfather is from Canada - and my grandparents on my mom's side were both born in Canada - I might check in and get a feel for what 'silence' and 'playing nice' means lol -- good to know people can get along somewhere in this world of ours - **waves**

Hello Fellow Canadians:

Great to know that civil chat does exist here......and not a lot of time need be wasted reading loads of repetitive crap.

So far, can anyone manage to eat sashimi with full restriction?

Hubby and I haven't had a day off since May and will be spending a few days in Toronto next week....I love sushi and sashimi but not sure if I will be able to manage it.

Sounds like ya got a lot of lucky Canucki in ya. From what part of Canada are your grandparents from? And where do you live?

I am always interested in stories like this because we all came from somewhere and we are always going somewhere. My bro, a doctor, is now living in Virginia and has just become an American citizen. He really misses Canada, though, and plans to retire here. He's already bought a chunk of land on a lake near Ottawa. This is where he is going to build his dream home. Two of his kids live in Canada, one in Halifax, one in Windsor for university reasons (she was living in London, Ont. for years), and the other one lives in Australia.

Hey Woodys: I've read on the other threads that most ppl don't seem to have a problem with sushi. Just give it a try (carefully) & see what happens.

Enjoy your few days off!!! I'm sure you both deserve it!

Are you guys sick and F-in' tired of all the BS 'out there'? OMG

How any one can keep track of all the posts about moderators and banning, and who the moderators should ban, and that the moderators should be banned themselves, and then all the banned people coming back with new identities .... it's beyond me. I just want to gnaw my hands off, after poking my eyes out, to stop myself from looking at any more of it!!

Is it that we're all just so damn nice? Or do we just know what not to say, to not cause sh!t? We're not "not being ourselves", we're just having some freakin' consideration, and politeness!

I'm worried that this might just make Alex (the owner) say "Screw this" and taking down the board altogether, with no warning. I certainly hope not. If that ever happens, we'll make our own board (not a Yahoo group!), and call it Survivors of LBT.

I'm new here but I've been noticing the occasional reference to the bad behaviour that has been going on. What kind of bad behaviour? What are these people doing?:rolleyes: Please put me in the loop.

        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
