You do realise that this is a lapband site don't you?

The majority of your posts are extremely religious. Now if you believe in God, Allah,Jehovah, The Christmas Bunny, whoever that is fine. If you want to talk about it fine. But do you think you could try to post it in an appropriate place.

This kind of post would go far better in the Religious Bandsters forum , it is hardly a General Lap Band Surgery Discussion type of post.

We depend on each other for advice, suggestions, questions etc., but, sometimes we need help from another source and you remind us or point us to that source. Even though this could go under a religious forum, we're not debating religious topics and the inspiration is very much appreciated. I also thank you.

This message is for all those who see my inspirational posting as too Religious for Lap Band. Elcee. I just want you to know that My postings may not be for you since you think they are too religious so I would give you the advice to block me off your page. Because the way I see God is apart of this process and if you don't have him. The way I feel failure process of losing weight will be an option if you don't have the right guidance and strength. What works for me may not work for you!! To All those who like my inspirational posting I will keep them coming!!!! Smooches!!!

Lets Go bandsters!!!!

I have no problem with you posting religious stuff.

BUT

I think you need to show a little respect. Not every member of LBT believes in the same God as you.Therefore if the post is made in the appropriate place it will not offend anyone.

Please keep posting but put it in the proper forum.

I'm sure we could go thru post and find hundreds that could be posted someplace different. To each their own, if you don't agree with someone that is your right. Be respectful and let it go, no one is being hurt, if you do not agree please read a different post that does not offend you.

God comes in all shapes and forms and anybody that says that this is "your" god obviously has missed something along the lines. I believe the word is "atheist"? Someone who does not believe in God? I do not believe she meant anything bad about God and I myself pray everyday for the strength and help in keeping this weight off after fighting this battle my whole life. I do believe there was help in something and somebody more powerful than you or I that has kept me off of medications for the last 4 years. My mom used to say that God helps those that help themselves. Too bad you don't have the strong belief that most of us do! Have a wonderful and blessed day anyway!

Whoa!!! I think your posts should keep coming! Screw the negativity of others! They can choose to overlook it! Since we are all here for the help and support of each other I thought I may share a book that ive been reading about suplementing our craving with food for our craving for GOD!!!

Apparently GOD works for a lot of us and I'm SO HAPPY to share it with y'all!

Another one of my favorites I can offer to the one that doesn't want to hear about GOD and our inspiration he has in our lives is called "The Christian Athiest". You should read it! Good luck an because your so offended to even read about the word of god in OUR FEELINGS and HOW WE ARE GETTING THROUGH OUR ADDICTIONS....I pray the LORD ALMIGHTY HAS MERCY ON YOUR SOUL! Here is the link for you

I am an atheist and I am new here. This post/thread has me wondering, would it be an issue if I started threads in the lap band general discussion area insisting that there is no god, and that we all need to learn how to trust in ourselves and in one another because we are all on this planet together and in the end we are all we have..? I don't mean to be contentious, I would just like to clarify whether or not a belief in a supreme being is a necessity for board members. Ideas?

Post as you feel!! If they don't like you posting about God then they don't have to read it or better yet, don't comment!!! This is a message board.... Post your message! If they want to post their atheist message go for it too.... I just wouldn't read it!!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
