Green's passing.



Recommended Posts

You know Nancy, one of the reasons I wanted to post the notice is because there have been some people here from time to time that we all liked who just disappeared. People like Carlene and TiredOldMan. They just stopped posting without explanation. We still miss them and wonder if they are all right.

Wasa, green told me that you had called her and I know that it meant a lot to her.

Yeah, we chatted often. If not by email then phone. I will miss her a great deal.

I will miss her posting style, her personality, and her intelligence. She was special people.

It's amazing to realize how well we actually get to know our friends here at LBT. We have exchanged ideas and sometimes laid ourselves wide open over the years to each other. I know that for green, this represented a good bunch of friends and support for her, as it does for me. I know that it is a comfort to her mate to know how much she will be missed here. I am happy to pass your kind words along to him.

BJean, I just wanted to thank you for taking this on... letting us know that she's passed, relaying our prayers and good wishes to her family, etc. This must be tough on you as well. I know that it still upsets me and I didn't know her nearly as well and most of you. So, again, Thank You!

That was very thoughtful heartfire. I actually think my time here at LBT is mostly done. I can't imagine it being as fun and entertaining and as happy a place without green as my sidekick.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've also enjoyed many of your posts. But you need to do what's best for you. Maybe just a break?

Take care of yourself, what ever you decide.

Well this place seems to have some kind of gravitational hold on me. Everytime I've decided I've about had enough I get pulled back in by some interesting thread. Go figure.

Yep, this place is horrible that way! LOL!

Horrible if it keeps you upset, great if it inspires you to learn something, eh?

Very true. If it upsets you then you definitely need to take a break. Give it a week or two and see how you feel about it. You can always come back if you want too. You will be missed tho.

However, if you find yourself learning or helping others learn, then it's not a bad idea to stick around for awhile.

There are a lot of days, and I am by no means an expert on the band and it's process, that I find all I want to do is check my subscribed lists and PMs and move on to something else for the day. I get tired of a lot of the same posts, especially the ones about being stuck and can't keep anything down, what do I do, or the ones that say they are just days out from surgery and ate something, did I mess up. Granted, if they are truly wanting help, I will post up but if they are wanting validation for what they did, they aren't getting it from me!

Anyway, way off topic but I think I get where you are coming from, especially with Green's passing. It's just not the same for you here right now. I would encourage a break and see where you stand with things later. You need time.

Take care!

Like Jack, I shall miss her wit. I could almost picture the smirk that must have accompanied some posts! Her compassion and dignity were evident in her posts, and her humor was sparkling.

I am sorry to hear of her death, but I would not wish a lingering painful life on anyone. May her husband and family take some small comfort in knowing that her life brought much to many others.

Jack I'm not good at good-byes or eulogies, but I didn't want everyone to think that she just quit us.

tapshoes, thanks I will pass yours and Jack's comments on to her family. Her DH did tell me that he reads them all and they mean a lot to him.

      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.
