Goodbye posts



Recommended Posts

I think it just comes down to personallity. For a lot of the people who leave and have been in a community for a long period they may have too many acquaintences to contact them individually.

Text and tone is difficult to read in text, and what might be just a cheery informative message and a wave goodbye, can be seen as a snotty "I'm taking my ball and going home".

I have no doubt that LBT gets back on a fully even keel and continues to provide the support it always has.

Let me give you a little bit of irony. I don't like posts about the practice of posting goodbye notes, any more than I like the goodbye posts themselves.

Confused? I am! :puke:

And then there are people like me. I remember once when I left a board and didn't leave a "Good-Bye all" thread. I came back a few weeks later to lurk and found out that they were still hung over from the celebration they had when they figured out that I was gone.

Here's an issue, I don't like posts that tell people what they should and shouldn't post but by stating that I am, in essence breaking my own rule.

Oh well I guess I must be a hypocrite

I don't like poverty but the other day I was in a major American city and the highway I was on went directly through a run down area, I wish they wouldn't build highways that travel through impoverished communities.

I just don't want to see it!!

      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. 🤞
