Oh, goody.. I see some things haven't changed...
*sigh*

I haven't been back to this site for a while and of course I am because I'm struggling...I know what I have to do...I just can't seem to keep motivated. I'm up about 23 pounds from my goal that I did hit...for about 3 hours!!! LOL I'm in a support Facebook page and it seems like a lot of us are really struggling and even talking about getting re-sleeved...I don't think I would do that but am quite curious...I mean I thought I had 75% of my stomach removed...would it even be safe?

Oh, goody.. I see some things haven't changed...

Yes, yes, yes... the beast is here! <stretches, scratches her fur, sniffs her bottom and armpits>
You lovely lot. I have missed you too.
And thank you for the very kind words of those who have taken inspiration/umbrage at my vomitorium of inane witterings.
So, whats been happening in the world (of bariatric stuff - I'd be here all year discussing international politics...)
Although in saying that, if we talked about American politics, I might vomit my way to losing those 22lbs, thinking of the bad-haired idiot currently running for the big seat...
(Yes, the vomit joke was in poor taste, before anyone jumps on me saying 'beat the insensitive clod! She's evil!)
Ooh, this seat is familiar and comfortable. I might sit in it for a while.
Right, whose round is it?

Oi! Who awoke the beast?!
I'm hiding, because I'm 22lbs heavier
Pfft...

As if you'd expect anything less....

I really like this idea. I'm almost 2 & 1/2 years out and I rarely post or comment because it feels irrelevant to where I am in my journey and what I'm going through.

Who me?

Hmmm.... No, you can't be talking to me, or really MOST of the vets who answered here. Click on the profiles of almost any of us and then click on activity. You will see that most of us RARELY post in the Vet's Forum and are often answering the questions of "newbies" because we ENJOY helping others.
Remember, we don't have to be here. We volunteer our time to pay back all the great advice, support, and butt kicking we got when we were new. We are simply looking for a place where we can **ALSO** get a little peer to peer advice and support -- advice and support that comes from real life experience, NOT from what someone read about someone else's experiences they heard about on Facebook.< /p>
If that offends you, you don't have to participate. But of course, you are welcome to.

You had surgery almost a year ago. Would you agree your needs and experiences have changes since you were newly sleeved? It's NOT about how long people have been on the boards, it's about how far post op someone is. That's what we are talking about here.

Speaking only for myself -- my desire for a veterans forum doesn't come from an "elitist" position. My needs are literally different than they were over 2 years ago when I was still pre-op or 6 months later when I was still in the "honeymoon" period of losing weight. They're even different than when I first hit my weight goal of 150 pounds.
I certainly don't think that I cannot learn things from those who are younger-tenured re WLS than I am.
Nor do I imagine I'll muzzle myself and never post on a thread about alcohol or Protein levels or the honeymoon period or sip-sip-sipping or vitamins/minerals or slider foods or the need to move into exercise carefully or the hundreds of other topics that newbies need and want advice about.
What I'm hoping to gain from the veterans forum is a more vibrant veteran community and participation and advice from veterans who (if you read this whole thread, you've already learned) are indicating they would spend more time at BP if there were a place where more WLS veterans were hanging out.
Surely everyone of any WLS tenure will benefit more from a message board where more veterans stick around, right?
For the record, "newbie" isn't a slur -- it's a description of someone who's new to a particular activity. Someone who hasn't had WLS yet (but is planning to have WLS) is clearly a WLS newbie. People who are new to maintenance are maintenance newbies. And people who are newly "veterans" are, I suppose, veteran newbies.

I'm 3 years post op but I don't post much. I need the veteran's forum. It's the only support I have. When I read that others are having similar issues I don't feel so alone and defeated.
