Hey bubbles.... I just read this thread and wanted to let you know that I'm glad your sticking around. Don't let someone from an ONLINE forum bully you away from something so valuable to you. I went and read the other thread that you were attacked on and I thought you were treated pretty harshly. ;)

Keep on keepin'on girl! :clap2:

I too made the mistake of posting in a canada thread, I got a PM asking me not to come back. I simply hit new post and then read what seems interesting to me. I won't make that mistake again, even though I think I helped to original poster, someone else ask to me refrain from posting in the canada section. I too hang out in an out of state thread (hi Kat :rose: ) and I am comfortable there, I am also in a local thread for my state and area.

BTW I want a copy of that recipie Wheets? Kat? anyone? ~Mandy

hmmmmmmmm.. think I'll go see what all the fuss is about in the Canada theads......;) ......

Personally, no one should be permitted to pm someone to "tell them off" To me this is a form of harrassment. You have every right to state your opinion and if anyone disagrees, it should be posted for all to see and not be allowed to attack someone privately. By leaving the board, you have allowed them to WIN. NEVER do that! We're here to support and obtain/give information to help us on this journey. There are other forums for ranting and raving. Ánd from what I have seen in those forums, I choose to steer clear. Too many "Know it Alls". Hang in There. We are here for SUPPORT.

No threads are off limits to anyone on LBT, and for someone to tell you not to visit one is over stepping their bounds. If the people from Canada want to have a place to talk and not have any other people in their conversations they need to go to e-mail.

I accidently posted on a thread once and ended up there posting daily. I have met lots of great friends there, and intend on meeting them in person some day.

Hang in there, you didn't do anything wrong!;) :rose: :lol:

I too chat in a room other than where I am from, I chat with Mandy (piercedqt78) and Betty (Iluvharleys) in a state chat room, and not a one of is from the state we chat in!!!

I do think it is only fair to say though, that just because a single thread of people, or simply some on that particular thread were rude, it does not make the entire Canadian section, nor those who chat there "bad". I know things going on in our own country of the USA,right now, give all of us a bad name at times, and I know I personally had nothing to do with it! I feel we should really try to #1. get along if possible, and #2 at any rate judge the person you are dealing with by their actions, and not their nationality. I have never been ask to leave a thread--but have realized AFTER posting that I was in a "specialized" thread. I have apparently not hit the same one's you guys did---lucky me!!! I, like others have said tend to scan through the new posts, and interact when one catches my attention, never thinking to see what thread grouping it is posted under. I also have no intentions of changing that!!!

Hey, just chalk that one up to "it says more about them than you" and move forward. I have wandered into threads without looking what category they are in, and thankfully, nothing like that has happened! Sorry you had such a bad experience, but truly most of the people I interact with her at LBT are supportive and helpful. One of the threads i accidentally posted in over a year ago, I still go to today...and have made great friendships there! (Hi Kat, Betty, and Mandy!)

:mad: Yes it,s true.

People should stick to their own forums.

Because they the think they know but they dont.

For instance i had some fool the other day, trying to tell me that some birds fly south in the winter. Where here in Australia we all know they fly north for the winter. Damm fool.

LOL

Just ignore them.After all none of us was really invited by Bill Gates to be here here anyway. ( see there is no s on the end off anyway (s ).Thats because you other people say it wrong )And i,m correct just ask ME.

LOL

      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. 💜

        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!

    • 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. 💜

      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!
