Saying Good-bye to all



Recommended Posts

I was on my way to work today and as always, I was talking to God in prayer. I prayed for each of you who talk with me on this forum and even for those who read the posts, but don't chime in. I asked God if I was doing his will by continuing to talk to others about Him and His word. I wondered if I should cease discussing the scriptures and the issues with those here, because many are offended by my beliefs and the truths in the bible. And also, I asked if I was reaching anyone with the truths of God's word. I asked Him to show me if I should continue on LBT. I specifically asked him to keep my computer from linking up to the forums if He wanted me to stop talking for Him, or about Him, to you all. I only want to do His will. I asked Him to someway, somehow show me what to do.

Well, when I got home and logged on, there was my answer from Him. The forums were closed. So, since God always hears and answers prayers, and I will never go against what He wants from me, I am sending this Good-bye to all of you here.

I will miss talking with you very much. I have enjoyed it. I believe God has other things for me to do for Him now, and He will let me know what that is. I love you and will continue to lift you all up to God in my prayers. I hope that one day, you will find Jesus and know that He is the way and the truth and the life and that no man comes to the Father but through Him. He is your Savior and He loves you very much. He sent His Son to take your sins away so that you will never have to die and so that you can live eternally with Him in Heaven. I hope to see you there one day! God Bless all of you. My love goes out to you all. Patty Green :biggrin:

OH CRAP!! I figured I'd try it just to prove prayer is worthless and "BANG" it worked.

I'd better start packing for the warm climate in Hell!

I think alot of you are being mean. If you don't like what someone posts just simply move on to the next one....that is what I do. Why be so mean spirited about it? I am fairly new to LBT.com but, I think you should continue doing whatever makes you feel better Patty! =)

Kind of makes me think of the bullied that turns into bullies!

If I were new I would think the same thing. In fact, I have gone to bat for someone when I thought they were being picked on when I hadn't read all their posts. Then I read more and learned where all the mean spirit came from... it was always provoked.

People are mostly very nice here at LBT. But this is a Rants and Raves section and things do heat up from time to time. Some people thrive on that kind of controversy - some people cringe and are disgusted by it.

I consider every thread and every post a quick little insight into people's thoughts and beliefs and I find all of it fascinating. And sometimes it is the most fascinating when people get personally invested and say what they're really thinking. It's obviously not for everyone, hence the recent spate of thread closings by the moderators.

To each his own, I guess.

Which threads where removed? Something looks different but they all seem to be here(threads).

Nope, looks can be deceiving. They haven't been removed, just closed. Try to post on SOME of the political and religious threads. The ones that were the most lively. The ones that "heated up." The duller ones are still there but no one seems to be interested in them.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
