Thank God I found this forum....



Recommended Posts

I don't know if this is the right place for these comments. I've been on another forum where someone who claims to be a nurse and isn't gives out loads of bad information. I pesonally can't take anymore of it, as I hate to see new people misled. I'm hoping this forum is a kinder place to be without fighting and arguing for no reason. I would like to think it is a helpful place to get good information and not be bogged down by this person who is bringing this other forum to its knees.

I have a good friend who told me about this forum called WasABubbleButt..where are you sweetie? I need to hear something positive right now. I am so completely burned out by the meanness I see on this other forum and the small group that is trying to run it. Please someone tell me that this person who claims to be a nurse doesn't belong to this forum....or I won't last long at all.

This is an excellent forum! You will love it for the information and support. As for fighting and arguing, sometimes it happens on any message board, but if it happens here it blows over quickly! Glad your friend recommended this site.

It's good to see you over here!!!!!

Yes, there are HUGE differences in LBT vs. that other place. We don't have the drama, the cliques, the petty behaviors here. Nobody is chasing away other people, it's just a nice place to come and relax.

There are disagreements here but as previously stated, they blow over quickly. We prefer to provide support vs. abuse.

There are people here I strongly disagree with regarding politics, religion, current events, etc. but that doesn't mean I wouldn't offer anything I could to help if there was something they needed. I think 99% of the people here feel the same. You'll do well here. We are a lot nicer and much less childish drama. Actually, the only real drama we have is when the people from your old forum come "cheering" (private joke) over here. :drum:

Your old forum isn't about support, it's about a few lonely older women that have little life and the only friends they have are on line and only if they follow the clique rules, regardless of who they hurt in the meantime.

(((HUGS)))

Hi All, What a great crew to band with. We all need all the encouragement we can get! I am finding out that most us are having the same problems and it helps to know that I am not alone.I should be called sugarstalker! seems it goes down so easy compared to the right foods. Oh well, no one said it would be easy. By the way , why is Rachael Ray's picture on the front page? Has she had the band? Just curios. Thanks.

LOL! :) That's exactly who I thought it was, but I don't think so.

      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.
