IS there anyways to ban people who are total asshats from posting advice in certain forums? Like no posting in the preop/introductions area because you give poor advice to newbies that do not know any better.

I was JUST having that conversation with Boo Boo Kitty... I was wondering how some newbies here ever survive with the crap advice spewing out of the asses of a choice few people. 2 spring to mind right away.

You know what really irritates me???? I follow all these posts and look up to you all that have been banded already, living the band life and all. I even wanna be like some of you! I am hoping for 'addiction transfer' to exercise!!! LOL I love that so many of you share the good and the bad about the band. So many great things about LBT. BUT...

I hate it when someone (referring to the aforementioned thread) posts all this "advice" and "secrets" and "keys" but when directly asked how to achieve or unlock them, they suddenly disappear from the thread! This just happened last week too (I'm not a stalker, I just wanna be friends with all of you guys! :tongue_smilie: and the person offered an entire thread dedicating themselves to giving advice to the new people about being at goal and all! But when called out on it can't be found to respond!!!! ARGH!! If you (that poster) can't back it up, keep your mouth shut! Ya know? There, I just had to voice it because I usually don't say much!

Does this qualify as a 'post just to post'? Am I using too many quotes?

Turler, I think I might know what thread you are talking about. And I may, or may not have made a half arsed, yet successful, attempt at hijacking that thread.

It may, or may not be why the OP of that thread now thinks that people who are smaller than a size 6 are unattractive.

I can think of three. And it's funny how they always appear to be up each other's asses.

Kinda like those Russian nesting dolls.

See, you guys know who/what I'm talking about!! LOL Seriously though, I don't even think you hijacked it, you just called her out on it. I just think ppl should be careful about boasting. There is a lot of information for us newbies to take in and digest (pun intended) and advice like severe restriction to the point of malnourishment is absurd!!! How can she be boasting in one thread and asking others for unfill/maintence advice in another? And then of course, fall off the face of that thread!

Of course, I love watching a good debate/drama unfold like anyone else! :tongue_smilie:

Baby, I agree 100%. SOME PEOPLE, AND WE KNOW WHO JUST SUCK...

It's scary that she is giving advice when her 50lb loss is due to starvation. Very scary indeed.

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

        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.

      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
