Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

No one chats on here



Recommended Posts

What's up with that? Why don't we use the chat room? Schedule a date and time we can all really chat with one another...

Every time I go in there, no one is there or someone is just leaving as I enter. Is it bad B.O.? Heh..:heh:

hey I said that months ago - or was that just last week? lol....yep - apparently when someone WAS in there it appears they are still there - so when we get there it looks like they are leaving......

ok now that everyone is confused - I agree - we should set up specific times so we KNOW someone is there to talk to ??????

It confuses me how so many people seem to want to chat, yet whenever I go into the room, no one is there and no one ever sets a date and time to chat. Couldn't we just have regularly scheduled chats? Like for example, every Monday at 8:00pm Eastern or something like that???

I recommend -- let's leave our chat room box OPEN -- go on and read threads, etc but check once in a while to see if someone is in there - when I first came here - if I hadn't been persistent I might not have stayed - and gotten to meet such great people who are truly my friends in this weight-loss battle........let's try to do better for the next newbie eh?

I don't preach - I'm not rude - but hey - suggestion: when someone NEW or ready to be BANDED comes to visit the chat room -- let's continue our fun/silly conversations....but let's also help them...I am NOT banded so I try to recommend people they might want to Private Message - or suggest a THREAD or a particular POST....we were ALL new once....let's show newbies how friendly we really are! I know there are 'groups' of people who have known one another for a long time and sometimes forget how it feels to be the new person on LBT but I think we can all manage to share with a new person and listen to their questions and concerns. I've met an awesome group of people on here - successful - with and without the band - let's share our experiences with others too!

Can we also ask: Can the FlashChat be fixed so that it FLASHES when someone has typed something? or at least when a NEW member has entered? since it minimizes while we do other things on LBT we don't know if someone else is in there...........

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
