Who do you miss???



Recommended Posts

Occasionally, I go back and read old threads. I was looking through an old thread today and I saw a post from someone I really miss. It's BlooEyez! I really miss her posts and seeing her progress pics. She was one of my inspirations when I first joined. I sent her an email today but I have no idea if she received it. I worry about people when they leave here. I wonder if something has happened to them and wonder if they are okay.

So BlooEyez, if you are out there lurking around, you need to come back and give me some more inspiration!

Is there anyone that has left LBT that you miss?

Maybe they will see this thread and start posting again. At least to let us know if they are okay......

i miss all the 'old timers' (heh) and their incredible wisdom...

Puddin totally slipped my mind. She was such an inspiration to me when I first joined! She was so successful with the band!!

Puddin ended up looking like someone who never had a weight problem, minus the PS scars. Her pics always amazed me.

I miss a few that I can remember, and some I can't. Lisa25 (she popped up somewhat recently but I haven't seen her since - did a drive-by), MiniMe, Carlene & TOM were great stimulation in RnR, it's not the same without them. VinesQueen (another drive-by). A few locals I know IRL who are oldies here. And a bunch of others I'm forgetting at the moment.

Yeah I guess I go back really far because I haven't read anything from Carlene or TOM for an extremely long time. MiniMe and others were all so much fun to read. I didn't politically agree with Leatha, but she was interesting and fun to read.

I'm thankful that you're still here Wheetsin and I am glad that Green feels like popping in from time to time. I'm glad that we still hear from Jack too. And Kat is great. And the others who've posted on this thread. You're all why I keep coming back almost every day.

I hope we will all learn the lesson that if we find it necessary to go away for any length of time for any reason, it would be very nice if we would say when and why we'll be gone. I don't know if I will ever stop wishing I could read one of TOM's really far out but interesting posts.

I miss Suntra, although I saw her blip in for a moment a couple weeks ago.

And Carlene.

I agree BJean, it seems like one day TOM was laying rocks for his wifes 60th birthday, and the next he was gone---kinda scary!

Yup. He was also concerned about a test he had just had and was waiting for the results. It's hard not to think the worst, dang it.

How exciting - you're getting a TT!!! Wow. You're going to hate the recovery period but you'll love the results! I'm happy for you!

FF: I forgot about Sunta. I always liked what she had to say. Very interesting person. Wonder what happened to her. Wasn't she a moderator at one time?

I hadn't thought about her in awhile either! So many went away when things split, I could never keep up with who was where!

Everyone says the same about the TT--but it is past time, this stomach has got to go!!! I continue to slowly lose weight, but none of it comes from there. My hips, and legs are downright swrawny now.....but the belly keeps a hangin'!! Totally unfair--so just gonna send it to the landfill!!! LOL

I miss Vinesqueen. I was just checking on her blog the other day but she hasn't posted on it for a year now. She had Cushings and was really struggling with her weight.

DeLarla was a hoot! What ever happened to her after she had her band removed, I wonder?

DeLarla was indeed a hoot. Things are a little less colourful and sparkly without her. Also miss Vines, Jenna (Princess'nthepea), Carlene, Tom and probably a bunch of others I'll think about soon.

Haven't seen Derrek or Marjon around for awhile, either.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
