Oldtimers thread



Recommended Posts

Your know who you are!!

Some of us oldtimers, hee hee, had to start our own threads, Waaaaaaaay back just to make it look like the 'Canadian forum' had more than 1 thread. But now, holy crap!!! Canadians are Rockin!!! So, I'm suggesting that all us 'oldtimers', can converse on one thread, hopefully saving time. I'm not sure if it will catch on, but I thought it was worth a try............................................................................

I think she's talkin' "us Canadians who were posting here back in the good old days (like in the past year, LOL)" .. shall I name names? CLOE, Yoda, Irishmist, neenagh, Lila, loriely, JUDE! (where is she!?) Wheezy even. Us who were posting here (canadian area of LBT) back when there were only a few of us here. Is that it, CLOE, or did you just mean old people, cause if that's it... I guess i'm out :girl_hug:

Yeah, I remember coming to the Canuck thread a year ago and there were maybe 2 whole posts on it!! I'd check every once in a while and there would be nothing new. Then, around 9 months ago or so, there were 3 or 4 of us who would "chat" on here and then ever so slowly, but surely, more and more Canucks would join us. Really, this particular site has come a loooooooooong way.....thanks to all those who have come out of the woodwork and made their way over here! (a good thing!). Long gone are the days when there were no threads or posts to get "caught up on", even after a week!!!!

Ahhhhh, how far we've come in that time, eh, Canuck oldtimers?!!!

Hi: I was referred to this site so I guess word of mouth has made it popular. I like the ease in which I can post and I like the website with it's graphics that are allowed to be shown. There was a bit of a dustup on another website and some left it for this site. Whatever, it is a fun site and I am enjoying it. Doddie

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh yes, your in Mandi!!!!!!!!!!!! Miss 'oldtimer'. Tee Hee.

I do mean like last spring when there was nothing here. I just thought it would be easier to communicate through one general thread for our general lives, instead of trying to go look for our threads(3 pages back).

Oh, and yes, Canadian, I do mean Canadian.:canada:

Hmmm Last spring, I guess I was a few months too late to join in this thread. You are right though Cloe, this site has gotten soooo busy. It's impossible to catch up on all the news.

Cloe, you are doing awesome. I'm thinking of going for another fill. I want to know from all of you old timers. How much restriction do you need to lose? Do you want or have to be at the point where you can hardly eat anything? Seriously, I have been a verrrry slow loser and need some advice. How tight do you have to be to have the successes you have experienced.

I need help!!!!

Hi too bad about excluding other bandsters. I wonder what the moderators think. New bandsters have a lot to offer including the desire which I am sure some older bandsters have lost. I would have thought that those that wanted could email each other privately as this website is supposed to be for all bandsters. Doddie

      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. 🤞
