Need a break from LBT



Recommended Posts

You know what really irritates the pi$$ out of me? It's the petty squabbling that goes on whenever anyone posts something that is even a tad bit passionate. @#$%&*! Will you hysterical women please stop the madness!

Yes, we will continue to read stupid, ill-informed questions from all sorts of emotionally damaged fat people. It's just the way it goes. If you don't like it, click to something else. For example, I had to scroll past most of the posts in this thread...they're just too painful to read.

I've considered deleting LapBandTalk from my favorites too, and I've only been a member for one month. The negativity and dumb questions get real old really fast. This thread may be the straw that does it.

For Pete's sake. Isn't there anyone out there who can smarten up the forum???

BTW - Since this is a rant..."lose" means to misplace, "loose" means not tight. It just amazes me that there are so many of us on this forum who don't know the difference between the two. These are two words that we, of all people, should know how to spell!!!!

YOU GO GIRL!

I hear' ya. What do you people expect? Lose all the weight in two days and everything would be fine. No that is not the purposed. This is a LIFESTYLE change. The band helps you makes changes it doesn't do it all for you.

Ninja,

I was just agreeing on what I have been reading for the past several months as I was waiting for my banding.

There is a sleeve board starting. PM WASa and I am sure she would give you the address. I would post it here, but I am not sure if it's against the rules. You would think I would know the rules, since I am a moderator, but I am not in the mood to go back and read them. You can pm me too. I have the address for the new sleeve board.

People who aren't banded yet should be well informed about all surgeries before they make their decision. I would get a sleeve as fast as I could run to get one if anything happened to my band. I do know people IRL who are banded and have been for years, but I still fear that this WL is too good to be true, and someday it will be taken away from me.

Some people have asked me why I am not afraid to have part of my stomach thrown in the garbage. It's simple. It's permanent. I don't want to get fat again. The band can do damage to the stomach. How scary is that?

I think it's good there is going to be a forum for sleeve people too. But either way I hope WASa still comes and talks to us. :P

I think if my band screws up for me too after I get it I would goto a sleeve it seems like the best option.

But first i gotta get banded LOL

It's obvious that we love this forum, it's one of the nicest ones I've seen and easy to navigate, I would think that with more people having to get revisions for whatever reason they should make a section for those people who still feel attached to this forum. It's not like they didn't originally have the band so I don't see what the big deal would be. They advertise sleeves etc... right? I so open a new thread for sleeves!!!! What would it hurt? brandyII:thumbup:

I think since I'm still a banster I'll let the others who have switched bring it up if that's their choice but I don't see why it would be a problem.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
