Very Upset



Recommended Posts

Maybe this isn't exactly the right time to post this, I am extremely upset right now. I think this whole day has been nothing but finger pointing and arguments all day.

Take a look at the board today, most of the time these boards are full of people laughing, asking questions, and seeking support. They are almost empty today, and that is a shame. This board is for the support/questions and friendship.

I for one think we have had enough of the finger pointing and arguments. I think we need to put an end to this right now. I certainly don't want to come here any more if all I am going to read is negative things.

Everyone has had their say, now let's get back to the regular business at hand.

If you want to be mad at somebody, then be it, but keep it to yourself!

Sorry, I just couldn't take anymore of this.

Betty, I hear you. Just hang on though and this too shall pass. Actually, it's the first negativity I've seen at all and I've been here since the very beginning. That must be some kind of record!! :)

Hey, I'm the one that got yelled at by Donali! But I don't let it get to me. Some days it's fun to come here, other days there's lots of disagreements. I'm pretty miffed myself about certain LBT issues, but we always come back and laugh in the end, right? Hubby mentioned a full moon, could it be?

Wow Betty I am not sure what has been happening ( & truely don't want to know) but if you need to vent girl- why- you just go right ahead and vent. we all need to let steam off once in awhile & its very good to do so. Never keep stuff buried inside it only eats away.

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHA!

Feels good to yell at the top of your lungs. AHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again I have no clue whats going on but I thought it was fun shouting along with you!!!

Hi Betty,

Life wouldn't be the same without you girl... I think people get entirely too sensitive here sometimes. I just try to take things with a grain of salt and be as uplifting as I can. Hope your day improves Betty. Teresa

((((HUGS))))) Betty... now... group (((((HUG)))))).... :)

Betty... I think you are absolutely right... I refer people to this forum constantly because it is such a wonderful... kind and supportive site. When I first started this journey... I went to another site where there was a huge flame war going on and I immediately kept on searching for another place for support and information. I always twinge when controversy erupts for fear that the board is becoming like the "others"... BUT.... it always returns to being the happy supportive place that I've come to love so much. :)

When I was still researching the band I saw the yahoo boards and they were all bickering and putting each other down. That was one reason I chose this sight but I also love the fact that you don't have to deal with advertizing here, you can read all the responses without it being a hunting game and waiting for it to load ect. This sight just has a much nicer, easier layout. I also like the fact we can put pics for our avatars here. Yahoo just had NO warmth, ease or personality. So what if a few people bicker once in awhile. Jeez, my family actually enjoys bickering. I've seen people get their feelings bruised over pretty minor comments or snap back over the same reason. There are a LOT of people on this forum now and some disagreement is bound to be expected. Overall I think we definitely accomplish our goal of supporting each other and educating others. If someone is blatantly mean than that should be looked at but people need to understand that we all have different experiences regarding particular doctors and they may not all be rosey. Everyone has the right to share their experience. I don't know what other bickering your talking about Betty. I have days I don't post but it isn't because of any of the attitudes on here. Its because I work, am taking classes, have a household to run and take care of and just get busy. Some evenings I finally get the chance to get on here but am too bushed to want to. I also have evenings that my favorite shows are on. Its nothing personal and I'm sure other people are experiencing the same life juggle. I'll often just check in here to see whats going on but don't have time to post much too. Anyway, things will settle down I'm sure. Thanks for the sweet pm too. Best wishes, Teresa

        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
