Oldtimers thread



Recommended Posts

For instance I know Gaffer participates on that thread and he likely gets a lot of different type of support from that testosteroney group than from us...and....all the more power to him and the others.

I think Yoda is stalking me.:biggrin1:

I think it is great that you "Old farts" have your own thread, kinda like a senior citizens home. As a "noob" I dont feel excluded.

Hey, I just reread this........."OLD FART", who you calling a 'old fart'!!!! LOL

BTW, Wheezy, never give up alcohol, :success1: .....Cheers:beer: .

Good advice from one OLD fart to another:nervous

Speaking of old farts, I have been much more, shall I say, gaseous since the surgery? :embarassed: Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? I wonder if GasX helps with that kinda gas. Has anyone tried it?:guess

Ahem.....I would have to say no...I am not more "gassy"...ummm but if you ask Mr Yoda, he may beg to differ!!!! (we have differing opinions on this!!). Of course, I'm always right!!!!

My excuse is to blame it on the gas from the surgery but since that happened almost a year ago, I believe that line is wearing a lil' thin and he is becoming wise!

I do what I can. Tell Mr. Yoda that he must have a highly developed, and finely tuned sense of humour.

Just dont let it go to his head

I did... I lurve it! Here's some pics! Dan JUST got his today, as well. That's his on the left, and then mine. I got a good deal on a printer along with it, and it's pretty awesome (but unfortunetly a bit big!)

I'm gonna post some more pics (not of my computer!) on my 'argons activities' thread, just because!

Cloe, I am glad your daughter is moving home. Some of us just have to learn things the hard way and for ourselves...and sometimes more than once! I am happy your little chicken will be safe and sound in her nest. I know I sleep better when I have tucked in my little chickens. Now if I could just get them to do what I want!

OK, so I have been thinking about the little misunderstanding over here. I think I was initially scared that I would lose the 'old timers' support, but now that i have thought about it, I can't see that happening because you have all been so great about embracing us newer people. Maybe (???) that is what some of Doddie's concern really is, becuase we all really need each other.

Secondly, I think this is a positive thing. You all have your own language because you have known each other for so long. Sometimes I will be reading a thread and the topic changes back to something from another thread and so on an so on. I have to say, sometimes I don't have a freakin clue what you guys are talking about, I just play along!!

I am glad you will have your own little place to catch up, and I am sure you will be visiting other threads as well. I will continue to read this one and throw in my 2 cents worth here and there, because you are all great mentors. Other than that, we can still chat on other threads.

I hope no one else is offended, becuase I am sure that we can all agree that the 'oldtimers' have been great to all of us, and I feel confident that they will continue to be.

Group hug everyone. xoxo:girl_hug: :kiss2: :mad: Let's just focus on the positive. It will all work out in the end.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
