Layed off so no more LBT for now...



Recommended Posts

I know I am a lurker and you guys proubly don't know who I am at all, but I come hear most every day while at work.

(looks both ways :cross-eye) But I got the word that I am being layed off because we have no work and since I do accounting I know it is the truth, and I am not alone.

But I am going to miss you guys so much and comming here everyday...and because I am a lurker no one will even miss me. I droped my internet at home because it was so handy at work now I know I better not reconnect until I find work. With the economy the way it is who knows how long it will take. Anyways just wanted to say good-by to you all. (for now) :cry

I also wanted to post this because I don't think the people who post here really know how many others are reading, learning and gettting to know you as individuals. It has been my pleasure to feel like I really know a few of you and have followed your progress, even though I have done it silently.

Delarla I have specificaly followed your story and am so happy your incesion is closed now. I wish only the best for you and I hope you get a port soon. Your threads bring a something very special to this board, you bring action and provoke thought from your fun/joke threads to the serious ones like Why are you fat. I am a lurker it is part of who I am but I totaly feel that I had to let you know how much fun I think you are. :) T

Bummer about no job, but don't give up this community. Many libararies have free internet for their patrons. Some coffee houses have them. Unfortunately, in the US we don't have alot and some charge, but this forum may be the place you need to vent.

Good luck in your adventures. Road Queen beat me to the punch, I was going to suggest libraries too.

I think you are right, we don't have any idea how many lurkers there are out there.

Again, good luck and remember, we'll always be here for you.

I'm so sorry to hear about you losing your job, but don't worry although it seems like tough times may be ahead, it might also bring more bigger better wonderful opportunities for you. There is a better job for you somewhere out there. So don't stress to much and know that we are here for you. Hope to hear from you soon. Are you banded? Or are you planning on getting banded, just curious???

T...What sweet sentiments. I totally agree about what a nice group of people this is. I too lurked before I posted and learned a lot. I hope you will be able to rejoin us soon. Best of luck to you.

Just a thought...the library usually has free internet access. ;)

Just wanted to thank you all for your kind words. Yes I am banded at 14 months out with a 62 lb loss so far. I use the boards as my support group because I am such an intarvert I could never bring myself to go to the local in person support meetings.

And yes if my daddy tought me anything it was that out of every bad thing that happens something good grows. I am kinda looking forward to a new beginning and more $. I am an accountant so at least I have marketable skills.

My only fear is when it comes to my insurance. I am on an excellent policy right now and totally fear any disruption in service. While I am quite restricted now I worry how long it will last and if my next policy will cover follow up on my band. You know the health care crissis and all. I have a fill appointment on monday that will be covered, so I am getting a little, I hope it will keep me going for a while. Thanks again to all, maybe see you at the library. Trish

      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.
