LAURA VEN. WHERE ARE YOU!



Recommended Posts

I saw a post to you that was pretty unkind. Let me say first, that early on, i thought you were just a smidge over the top, BUT have come to love and appreciate your carefree banter. And secondly, we need you on this site. You started standing out when there was real nastiness going on and, i am betting, many left the site. You roared in and lightened up several weeks of blaming, name calling, insulting postings. Things have swung back to a more positive nature and I thank you for that. Yes, i can see that those wound a bit tighter than myself might not see humor in some of yours and fyres comments, but hey.... Sure beats that other crap that was going on. So please... Dont curb your enthusiastic nature. They keep saying this site is for all, but they keep routing out those that they dont see eye to eye with. I think you give very patient responses to those i have to ignore rather than say... Do a search or try google!... And your responses are sensible, genuine and come from a place of good common sense. Hopefully you are not posting because you are just busy rather than feeling down over one comment. And you know what .... You have never, ever said anything even remotely close to what was said to you so please keep it in perspective and get yourself back in there! I would really miss you if you left.

MGT,

Thank you! I cried when I read this!! (Yes I'm a big baby) thank you for caring.

I must admit that one did hurt a little... I don't know why, lord knows it wasn't the first one!

I think I'm at the point of just getting weary some days and I have honestly thought about packing it in or just not participating anymore.

I have met some wonderful people here, so that has kept coming back for more! And plus I'm a blabber mouth! :)

The person did PM me and apologized. I'm just still licking my wounds that's all.

Once again thank you, you have made my day!

Laura

P.s I like seeing my name up in lights like that :P

Some people :-P maybe it was TOM for her or something? Or maybe she needs to get some? Or maybe she's hungry? Lol Oh well what ever it was hopefully she can read and see that you are one of the most positive people on this forum. Never start arguments always trying to end them with humor. You always have some very good advice.

Glad you took the high road in the original post and glad she apologized. And now glad you did not reply what was said to you in this thread. Again proves your integrity to not start people hating on someone else..no need to keep it going. Yes i think it hit close to home for her so was taken a bit too personally but now it is over. Hope you have a super day. Glad you stuck with us. ;) and glad you got fyre to change that pic!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
