Thread Killers



Recommended Posts

I personally think everyone's wrong. *laugh*

On a side note though - a discussion can be easily killed by everyone either agreeing to disagree, or agreeing with each other.

Yo Dawg I agree with you 100%!

****HIJACK****

I was just wondering if anybody else ever wondered if obese people had better personalities than non obese people?

Seriously though, I hate hijacked threads.

Another type of thread I just gloss over, have nothing to say (I dont "hate" this, but just dont "get" it).

So and so keeps bringing junk food to work, how unfair, I have to sit next to her and I just want some too. Or my DH keeps eating burgers, its not fair, or the one where someone was at a dinner party and was offended because the host served dessert and offered her some.

I just dont understand that. When I decide to diet or when I decide to eat it comes from within me, what someone else is eating has no bearing at all on my decisions.

Like I said, I dont "hate" that or think people are weak for suffering from it, but I dont ever answer those threads because I just dont really understand the problem therefore have nothing constructive to say.

I hate it when people talk out of both sides of their mouth. Like when they post something, delete it, then post something totally different. Like the song says, "You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything".

Oh, another thing.....when a person has more than one user ID b/c they don't want other people to know the "real" person inside.

I tend to jump away from a thread when someone starts listing all the food they cheated with simply because it puts it in my mind and I can start WANTING it. I can go for months (years even) not even thinking about something like a somore and then someone will talk eating one and I'll start craving chocolate and marshmallows.

Oh... now you're thinking about that warm, sticky delight too, aren't you????

3Loves.... my general rule is just to talk out of my ass... that way I don't have to worry what side of my face I spoke out of last... the consistancy confuses people! LOL! :omg:

DL! You are brilliant! Truly brilliant! (and funny too) :cool:

I shall make it my goal to do likewise. Confusion is always a great source of entertainment.

Hello,

I hope you don't get discouraged to share your stories because of one person. The rest of us waiting to get banded really need to hear your success stories to help us realize the possibilities. Sometimes there are down sides to success and we want to hear those as well. Keep us posted!

Thanks for showing us the light at the end of the tunnel is not always a train!

Everyone just shut up.

I'm right. You know it. Deny it all you want but you will end up looking the fool.

I'll get you yet. You and your little dog too.

That is a helpful post! :biggrin1:

Main thing that irks me is when people do ask a question and in the time it would take to just answer it or post a link like you did above, they post a seemingly snarky reply telling them there is a thread with that answer in it so go there, but no link or breakdown of what board it's under. I was here a good week before my browsing around lead me to the abbreviations thread. I have to say some of the snarky replies have made me keep my questions to myself, and I PM those who seem truly happy to help. :cool:

I also agree with the "I'm cheating the band, eating candy and drinking milkshakes so why aren't I losing weight" threads. Just makes my eyes roll. :rolleyes :)

Waiting to see if I've killed this thread.... :guess

      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. 💜

      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. 😍

      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. 💜

      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!
