I wrote Alex a long and whiny letter about it today. I just couldn't be upbeat about it anymore.

My 5:2 girls are all jumping ship.. :(

OMG...if I weren't so tired I would be rolling on the floor laughing. A chuckle will have to do. I am in dire need of enabling of my clothes shopping. I have done pretty well at my discount stores but I want a couple of really amazing date night outfits and need shopping advice. All of my girlfriends are fleece wearing fuddy duddies so I dont trust em on this topic. My friend I saw last night cracked me up. I showed him my arms and how well they are healing and he said "can't wait till summer and you break out those hot dresses of yours". I was like..hmmm...maybe I do need fuddy duddy fleece wearing friends to help me shop. Argghh

If I don't go back to work soon I'm going to need to enlarge my closet. I've bought more clothes in the last 3 weeks than the previous 5 years.

I need a cheaper crossover addiction. Like gambling and hookers.

I meant smelly. So embarrassed that I have apparently lost my ability to quote Anchorman.

Change of topic because I need to share happy and since no one can see the compliments thread (or most any other threads if it comes to it), I am posting it here because I love you guys.

My client told me I look like a coke bottle :)

This is such a cultural reference that I wasn't sure I got it. I had to come back and ask my team if that was a good thing or not. Twenty-seven years in this country and there are still certain things...

but anyway...apparently it's a good thing, and apparently I look like one. yay me!

This has changed to a big for profit site... There is nothing wrong with making a profit but... As a friend just pointed out; " I read a post by Susan the other day talking about how this thing benefits new people researching which surgery to have. Well isn't this a supposed to be a support forum? If so people doing research should not be the priority. Truth is this was a monetary benefit for them plain and simple." And.... "But we can go away. New people will come along who don't know what vst was and they will survive. So they aren't gonna care about us. We have to decide to make the best of it or go." Personally I'm leaning towards going.. It saddens me deeply.

I feel ya!! I do NOT like it

I'm not jumping ship! WTH am I, chopped liver? To you, I mean. Cause you hate liver. You just don't know good things and Jewish comfort food when you see them.

In any case, I'm not leaving. I, personally, have had a TON of issues from the app but have no problems finding things or posting if I'm on my computer or laptop. Are there things I don't like? Sure. But there are growing pains every time Facebook changes their crap on me, too. I just want them to fix what's wrong with the PMs!

I figure most people will get used to it in time.

And really, not to sound mean or argumentative, but what's the lifetime of most posters here, anyway? Really, folks like Oregondaisy, NtvTxn and CowgirlJane are the exception. Most folks fizzle out around 12-18 months and vanish forever. And that's not counting the massive numbers that leave well before a year is up, pop in for a one year update and boogie onward never to be heard from again. There's nothing for Alex to lose...most of these people would have left VST in a short time anyway.

Even super posters - remember OTR? Where is that dude? Diva, Tiffy - all the old timers are G-O-N-E. And many of the other old timers don't bother posting on the heavy traffic forums, anyway. They stick to their groups or their favorite areas and that's all they do.

So, meh. I don't necessarily like the changes but I'll deal.

And you better message me if you leave, Laura! I really think it's too much effort to cyberstalk you to keep in touch, but I'll do it if need be!

Cheri....I'm already cyber stalking Laura. If she tries to leave us I'll post all her personal information on the lapband forum and on www.californiacougars.com

She's not getting away.

I just flipped 2 years on the forum. Is it time for me to fade out? I mean I may not be an elite level sleever yet but I feel it's my duty to stick around and keep a lid on the nazi rhetoric at least.

I don't care for it. But then, I don't care for much because I'm a grumpy-bum.

I accidentally walked into a band thread yesterday, because I clicked on 'recent posts'. All I could think when I read it through was 'what in the holy-blue-feck, is this?!'

All I can say is us Sleevers are a cordial lot... Disagreements or not....

Glad I didn't get banded! :blink:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
