Oldtimers thread



Recommended Posts

Your know who you are!!

Some of us oldtimers, hee hee, had to start our own threads, Waaaaaaaay back just to make it look like the 'Canadian forum' had more than 1 thread. But now, holy crap!!! Canadians are Rockin!!! So, I'm suggesting that all us 'oldtimers', can converse on one thread, hopefully saving time. I'm not sure if it will catch on, but I thought it was worth a try............................................................................

I think she's talkin' "us Canadians who were posting here back in the good old days (like in the past year, LOL)" .. shall I name names? CLOE, Yoda, Irishmist, neenagh, Lila, loriely, JUDE! (where is she!?) Wheezy even. Us who were posting here (canadian area of LBT) back when there were only a few of us here. Is that it, CLOE, or did you just mean old people, cause if that's it... I guess i'm out :girl_hug:

Yeah, I remember coming to the Canuck thread a year ago and there were maybe 2 whole posts on it!! I'd check every once in a while and there would be nothing new. Then, around 9 months ago or so, there were 3 or 4 of us who would "chat" on here and then ever so slowly, but surely, more and more Canucks would join us. Really, this particular site has come a loooooooooong way.....thanks to all those who have come out of the woodwork and made their way over here! (a good thing!). Long gone are the days when there were no threads or posts to get "caught up on", even after a week!!!!

Ahhhhh, how far we've come in that time, eh, Canuck oldtimers?!!!

Hi: I was referred to this site so I guess word of mouth has made it popular. I like the ease in which I can post and I like the website with it's graphics that are allowed to be shown. There was a bit of a dustup on another website and some left it for this site. Whatever, it is a fun site and I am enjoying it. Doddie

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh yes, your in Mandi!!!!!!!!!!!! Miss 'oldtimer'. Tee Hee.

I do mean like last spring when there was nothing here. I just thought it would be easier to communicate through one general thread for our general lives, instead of trying to go look for our threads(3 pages back).

Oh, and yes, Canadian, I do mean Canadian.:canada:

Hmmm Last spring, I guess I was a few months too late to join in this thread. You are right though Cloe, this site has gotten soooo busy. It's impossible to catch up on all the news.

Cloe, you are doing awesome. I'm thinking of going for another fill. I want to know from all of you old timers. How much restriction do you need to lose? Do you want or have to be at the point where you can hardly eat anything? Seriously, I have been a verrrry slow loser and need some advice. How tight do you have to be to have the successes you have experienced.

I need help!!!!

Hi too bad about excluding other bandsters. I wonder what the moderators think. New bandsters have a lot to offer including the desire which I am sure some older bandsters have lost. I would have thought that those that wanted could email each other privately as this website is supposed to be for all bandsters. Doddie

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
