Sunta, I firmly believe in following your gut instincts. If your intuition is telling you to back out, then why not reschedule your appointment for a couple weeks? I realize you've been planning and waiting a long time, but haven’t you ever gone against your instincts and wished you hadn't? This same thing happened to a friend, yet she went anyway. She had a pretty bad experience in Mexico (though she's fine and everything's okay now.) However, maybe it's just a timing thing; maybe tomorrow isn't right but choosing another day will settle the nightmares? Don't listen to me, listen to yourself. At least give it some thought, okay?

Betty, as moderator, is all into that Jesus stuff. Blah! But she rides a Harley, so I put up with her. She'd probably be happier if I stopped talking about anal sex. Betty, get rid of the religion and I'll get rid of the sex. NO THANKS! I like the good ol' "butt-fucking" freedom of speech in the grand ol US of A. Amy, if you're going to call anal sex butt-fing, have the balls to say it.

Susan, that's my exact point of this whole mess. Why do I have to look at Jesus saves, Psalms, Angel avatars, Religion? Why? Because it's a free country, yahoo! So If I have to see Psalms, you gotta see vibrators. Now shut up, put on your bikini and meet me in the Jello wrestling ring. We'll let Big Paul settle this.

"I will literally fall over if someone who doesn't want to argue comes into this thread and starts an arguement..." PLEASE have some board etiquette and honor Heather's request. I for one AM in the mood to argue! If you aren't, beat it!

I've attacked issues, not people. And thanks to the LBT Police for correcting me by saying we spoke privately in e-mails, not PMs. I like being angry. I'm not into fluff. Anger allows me to deal with my emotions on paper instead of fists. Please go back and read Heather's original request on page one.

Susan, didn't you consider leaving??? The beauty of the vagina gives us the right to change our minds, something like every 15 minutes I think.

"You once told me, Lisa, that one of your favorite things to do at LBT was start wars on threads. You said you like getting people pissed off and secretly have your friends join in to support your posts to keep the fight going." Yeah, we talked about a lot in private, but how sad that you bring that to the table. Message to board, some people don't know the meaning of "PRIVATE MESSAGES." But Susan, I know that about private messages, and everyone here knows I'll jump in a good debate with people backing me up. No secret has been revealed, nice try. What you just did by taking our private conversations public is much sadder than anything I've ever said or done here. But do me a favor and instead of paraphrasing our "PRIVATE" conversations, just cut and paste them out of your message box along with your replies to me about how glad you are to join the fun? I don't share private messages - it's called integrity. You just warned the board (and all those you consider your friends) to never to send you or your teammate anything in private. I love pissing people off because it gets the dirty laundry out to air. It incites feelings and emotions that people pay therapists years to get in the open. I dig it.

Jill, this is the place! Bring it on since it's already been broughten, plus Donali can't see any more.

Amy, you just wrote, "Just don't read what doesn't work for you." So why are you reading this? And where did I say that temptation made ME fat? It mad you fat. It made her fat, him fat. It made naked Tommy fat. Temptation is the very word that all of us fat (save medical excuses.)

Over there ----> the one with the penis. Maybe I should have a dildo for an avatar and write "Masterbate" under it. You know, kinda like a cross with a "Jesus Saves" header?

I see Tommy naked.

Amy, I'm confused why you & Susan are defending Dawg when my topic has nothing to do with him?????? Check out Kim's response if you want a better understanding of where I'm coming from: She recieved a nasty PM from a bible banger when she posted on my vagina thread. Don't Christians have vaginas?

People, not everybody was meant to be thin, otherwise obesity wouldn't exist. I gained 9.5 pounds from my lowest, big whoopee. My body keeps rebounding back to 250 - not 260! Same with Penni, for example. We get into the 230s but feeling hungry all the time drives us crazy, so out of deprivation we go nutzo and eat. Mother Nature wants me around 250 (remember, I'm a 5'10" lumberjack so I can hold more weight that shorties.) Susan, I wasn't lashing out at you, but I'm not happy about your analysis of my anger because it sends confusing messages. Not having the ability to control portions and gaining a few pounds sucks but it's not what's making me angry, so you were enormously inaccurate. I'm pissed for lots of reasons around LBT, one of them being that I can't talk about anal sex with offending the righteous ones, and "obese people" wasn't referring to one or two people - I lost count of how many around here have answers for others that haven't fixed themselves. If I count another calorie, I'm sure to see 300 by summer. But if I eat 3 meals a day, no Snacks, and nothing after my pot roast and baked potato, I'll be one happy hot size 20 bitch. I think I can maintain a good 65-pound loss thanks to the band that I'm NOT upset, nor have I ever been upset, about having removed. But I can't maintain dignity in a board full of hypocrisy.

"Lisa, it sounds to me like you are flat out upset, pissed off and scared that youre gaining weight back. The disappointment in the way things went for you with your band (which wasnt the fault of the band) must be overwhelming. And the fear of gaining the weight back has to be pure hell. I can understand that, and both Paul and I have talked about how badly we feel for you and others who have gone through similar issues and had to lose the band." Susan, you just did exactly what you said everyone else did, which was to take what I wrote and analyze it to mean something else. "You have every right to be angry about what you've gone through, and right now you're lashing out at others because of it" Again, WRONG! I'm not lashing out at anyone because I've gained a few pounds! I'm pointing out that nobody has the answers, nobody is perfect, no morbidly obese person whether past, present or future should claim to know what it takes to be thin, and that "never" means squat. This wasn't a personal attack at your or your husband, so I don't know why you took it that way.

You're a doll, thanks for responding

I was going to start a similar thread, but since the fighting arena has already been set up, here I go. I'm sick of LBT and won't be spending much time here any more. I know I'm about to hurt people I consider friends by saying everything I need to say, but at this point I don't give a damn because I'm RIGHT and that's all there is too it. First and foremost, anyone who comes here thinking they have all the answers is full of W#$@%^. When I read people talking about getting all the bad food out of their house to lose weight I want to throw a coffee mug at the walls (filled with coffee.) I think Nykee said it best when she said she'd just go out and buy something if she really wanted it. Keeping junk food out away from you only works if you live on an and island or some freaky compound with no access to 7-11s and drive through fast food joints. So what if you can avoid junk food while in your house? I don't spend my life indoors. Wal-Fing-Mart isn't even safe because the smell of fresh popcorn kills me. Even the damn beauty parlor passes around trays of Cookies. Movies, casinos, neighbor's & friend's houses, WORK, TV commercials... what about the enormous 18 wheelers we get stuck behind in traffic that have life-size pictures of tantalizing deli spreads or baked goods? Which brings me to the next subject that pissed the hell out of me, which was the whole stupid, "Why do we allow temptation" debate. ALLOW TEMPTATION in itself is a damn oxymoron. That's why it's called temptation, because it tempts, teases, tantalizes, hypnotizes, controls. The human mind is only set up for so much willpower. Some might have more of a military-based thinking system that allows them to hold onto willpower for longer periods of time, but resisting temptation is bullshit. TEMPTATION IS WHAT GOT US ALL F-ING FAT. We are morbidly obese human beings that have never been able to resist temptation. Never! So for anyone banded or better yet, unbanded, to think that our problem is keeping junk food in the house, Pah-leeezzz! Get real. Get honest. Go stand naked in front of the mirror looking at your morbidly obese body and ask yourself again if your problem stems from your spouse keeping potato chips in the kitchen. Which brings me to the next issue of people getting banded then acting holier than thou. Nobody on this board knew how to eat like a normal human, ever. It took risking your life, tons of money, horrible pain yada yada yada to force food out of your mouths. And don't for a second start a new debate about how safe the band is because we all signed medical releases about all the risks, including DEATH. Just the risk of going under anesthesia alone could have killed any one of us, and many of us have gone under several times for port revisions, slippage, band removal, blah blah blah. So put up your dukes if you want, but fight intelligently. I'm not reading any more bullshit around here about resisting temptation or people's fragile feelings getting hurt. Some call me a nasty bitch, others call me a realist. Try being real, you might like where I'm coming from. I don't buy hiding behind religion, either. If you believe in God and live your life according to the bible or whatever one of the thousands of religions that spring up ever day, then remember, God created all. God created me, and he created this fabulous brain. GOD gave me the ability to think and judge and analyze. If the bible says, "Judge not lest yee be judged yourself" then that's just another hypocritical reason I don't believe in the bible, because why would our glorious God give me the ability to judge if he didn't want me to use it? My brain does whatever the hell it wants to do, which is to pick apart lies, bullshit and deceit. I can't stand coming to LBT and knowing that big fat naked people suddenly have the answer to losing weight or keeping it off for good. We aren't psychics (or if there's one here, please PM me your number because I need a reading.) Am I pissed? Hell yes I'm pissed. I don't miss my band because it put me through hell. I hated eating tiny little portions and upchucking every time a niblet got stuck, but I loved the results. Now that it's gone, I'm struggling and gaining weight. I will not have a bypass since a handgun to the head is much cheaper and less stressful. No, this isn't a suicide note ~ I would never hurt my family that way, but it sure sounds easier than all this. If you can't handle adult topics then stay out of threads that have XXX or SEX in the title! Every one of us has a penis or a vagina, and a small fraction have a combo of both. We orgasm, masturbate, screw, give head and based on the amount of Anal Ease, Anal Jelly Beads, Anal Stimulators, Body Butter anal lubricant and anal vibrators that I sell every week, millions of people are getting it up the butt. So if that's too much for you to handle then shut off your TV, unplug your Internet, lock up your daughters and wives and live in denial. Is LBT the right forum for this stuff? Who knows? Who here is perfect (well, I know one person who thinks he is) but has anyone here been given some special key of knowledge? Do you own the one and only book of what we as humans are supposed to act like? Do we have a Cherry 2000 in the room? I THINK NOT! This is supposed to be a weight loss support group. I’m not fat because of the way I eat. I’m fat because the way I think. So if I can’t discuss any and all of the thoughts that make me “ME” in a weight loss support group, then fuck it. I feel much better. As a matter of fact, that felt damn good. And to anybody that might be offended or hurt by what I just wrote, frankly, I don’t give a damn.

MONTEREY! I've been around here for around 2 years and have never heard one single negative thing about Dr. Rumbault in Monterey, plus you can't compare the Monterey facility to anything I've seen in Tijuana (I had 3 bad surgeries in Tijuana, Kuri made a mistake on me.) I'm not saying Kuri's a bad doctor or that I know Rumbault, but keep researching because Rumbault's reputation is impecable around here from what I've seen.

Let's just say somebody was VERY generous to Adam, which is prolly why he felt the need to share his gift. Stupid me, I've got lots of home video of him from those days but not of the Whomper. Damn, another lost opportunity for financial freedom! Extortion, baby! I personally thought a vagina thread would bring out some real issues. I have a couple very real vagina issues, like sometimes I have to brace myself and clench my hoo-hoo when I sneeze or a lil pee pee escapes. It's gotten much better with weight loss, but now I'm using BenWa Balls to tighten my vaginal muscles so I can have a more fun playground for me and he! I have other vagina issues, too. Since I was bold enough to start this thread, I have a question for Tummy Tuck people. When they do the tuck, do they pull up the skin from below to elongate the "playground" and make it more youthful looking? And I really am offended by religious threads (there's plenty of religious websites out there for that kind of thing.) But I love that everyone here can have their own threads since everyone we are, everything we do and every nuance of our lives contributes to our eating disorders/obesity. I would NEVER post negativity in someone's Jesus thread so I'm glad this one isn't getting slammed.

We started this LBT list of fun parts a long time ago... here it is again GIRLS BOYS Giblets One Eyed Trouser Mouse Nooner Schnolakaupft Punani Whammer Coochie Pecker Hoo-Hoo Weiner Cooter Mangina Ting Tang Hoo Hoo Susie Schlong Pootie Twig n’ Berries Chachee Peter NooNoo Slammer Kitty Poofie Pinky Doorbell Po-Po Gina Felix Fachina (new one) And my favorite, Ax Wound!

Hey Creepy Chick, I'm doing 2 Slumber Parties this weekend so I'll pay close attention to the quietest tool. When I get to they toy part, I yell, "What Time Is It?" Nobody ever gets that joke. IT'S TOOL TIME! Hmm, should I PM the quietest toy to Porc or post it publicly... decisions, decisions.

I think everything's been covered here except YABBA DABBA DOOO! Far out, groovy, right on, bitchen and lots of high fives from the desert!

Celebrities prance around in their diamonds screaming, "Look at me, Look at me" then get offended when we look at them.

WHO CARES? It's about time we pay men back for our daily torture! Get him!

"Kare, I'm taking that as a personal challenge. I, thinjen, promise to post at least one funny thing each month. And if I can't come up with anything, I'll just cut and paste the Jimmy Hoffa comment. I use humor to mask my sad, pathetic life....I've got a million of them." So, exactly how much are Depends? Do they come in size L (Lumberjack?)

Vooey & Sissy will send some treats if you PM them your address. I hate humans that hate animals. I mean HATE... so if any of you that are my friends secretly hate animals, you better stop now and send Megan some dog food!
