Chat Room



Recommended Posts

A while back there used to be quite a few people frequenting the chat room to socialize or kill time at work. I went in there today and there wasn't a single person logged in. I was just wondering if anyone ever goes in there anymore? TGIF y'all :)

I didn't know it still existed. It used to show up in the bottom right corner of my computer screen and I could just pop in there whenever. It's not there anymore. How do you even get into it now?

I didn't know there was a chat room either! That's a really cool feature. I went in there about two hours ago and said hi but it echoed around the empty room, lol.

Folks used the chat rooms alot more when we were separated by our different WLS surgeries. Once we were all under the BP umbrella, the chat rooms sorta faded away. :(

When it first came back I tried to go in there several times but was alone by myself. LOL!

I tried several times going in but nobody was there so I'd wait around but nobody ever came in. lol I like the idea of the chat room! It gets boring here at work sometimes.

You have to put up a post "anyone want to chat"

Then minimize it and open another window and go around and read and post.

There used to be a door bell when someone else entered the chatrooom. Hopefully, there still is.

I used to put up posts every evening and people would come in and out of the chatroom.

I'll have to check in and see it.

I've never been in it.

Could make a time/day schedule to officially chat - then at least it wouldn't be just random wandering through. ;)

Yes, that's a good idea. I like to chat. We used to chat every evening starting around six, but with the time changes, that needs to be considered. 7:00 here is 10pm on the east coast.

If you want to chat, you have to put up a post, either anyone want to chat, as I previously posted, or a post that says Chatting starting at _______ time until

__________ time, then people can come in and out.

Another option is to pm people that you see posting regularly, and set up a time to chat that works for everyone. It's bad now that the chat room is hard to find.

        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!

      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
