Bettina, she did the same thing to me and I am a newbie, and never had any animosity toward her. I don't even know her. :) I was just reading posts to learn about the lapband, too. :D Then she attacks me for no reason. I have done nothing to her, yet she puts my name in a post and calls me a shark :o (at least, I think that is what she called me whatever that means.:) ) Man, if I was an easily provoked person I might have had words with her. :heh: But my mother always said to give people the benefit of the doubt. :D :clap2:

Yup I remember your name being there too!! Funny nobody wants it talked about --as if we are supposed to take it and not even defend ourselves...almost sounds like rape doesn't it?? I understand the bickering by the people heavily involved, they had a problem....but when that particular person -(notice I am not naming names I dont want to be associated with that same pool of people)--started pulling us in because we happened to be on the board is so totally wrong!!

Yep, that is definitely why he is the ex. Worked out for me though, I married the greatest love of my life so it was a blessing in disguise.

Don't worry Brooklynn, I went a bit OT, but that seems to happen here a lot lately.

Bettina,

I could understand her calling us out, if we had at least done something to her, but to do nothing to someone, and for them to try to put someone's head on a platter... :) I'm just glad it's over. I have my lapband done September 6. I am so excited! :biggrin1: :biggrin1: We just need to focus on our lapbands, and not let anyone try to get us down. Good luck! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Obviously no one read my postings and really thought about WHY we are all doing this. Sometimes you can't just spin your wheels on things. Oh well.... I tried. But I won't give up on you all. I am here for anyone that wants to use me as their sounding board. I have thick skin (not as thick as it used to be :) but still thick)

Yes, I am on the liquid fast. It's going pretty good with some small lapses, but I am going to stick to it, to a tee from here on out. :biggrin1: That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :D Thanks for the encouragement! This will work. I am going to give it my best shot. :bandit :bandit :bandit :bandit :bandit :bandit :bandit :bandit

I am very fidgety, also. I can't wait! :) :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
