hey, who let the flies in here? anyone got some bugspray?

wasa, i still cant read you or your little sidekick puppy's posts, so unless what you wrote is an acceptance to have a friendly paintball match with me after i make goal, or something else friendly, supportive or pleasant, can you just go back to where you were playing?

You and me both, WASa. More than a couple of someones actually! :):faint:

Lauren, do you get the impression someone doesn't really have the world blocked as they claim?

How would anyone know if I agreed to a child's game or not unless they read the post.

Hmmm....

You know, I've been ignoring the child's play but I think since nothing seems to be getting done about this little problem it's time I start responding to the problem.

Well, either that or someone has a second SN. :paranoid

again with the flies!

again guys..ive got you blocked, and you know this. i cant read your posts, i can just see your screename, and a thing that says: "this message is hidden because wasabubblebutt is on your ignore list" and of course, the same for your sidekick. Perhaps later there can be a meeting of the minds but for now, this is how its gotta be. Please just leave me alone?

I really don't care either way who is mad at who, or who is in the right, or whatever, but what makes you think that Lauren and Wasa are posting about you? Last time I looked there were many people on this thread and they could be answering many different people. I suspect if you really truly wanted them to "leave you alone" you would stop posting specific messages to them. From my perspective it seems like you want to provoke them to talk shit. Maybe that is not the case but from an outsider point of view it surely is what it looks like.

well that could be my fault, i tell her when i see something thats directed at her and she doesnt always want to hear. She COULD read it on her own just viewing the board as guest, but she doesnt, and i wish she would stick up for herself. I dont see it as provoking. I see it as defending herself. You probably havent seen all the threads where wasa followed her around from thread to thread harassing her. Liz feels like she cant post on the board at all without being harrased.

im interested in being banded, but i dont think i will come to this website for support. Its not a lapband support board anymore, its the wasabubblebutt show. Theres a lot of people who make fun of new people who come here for support and help. I think its grown past the purpose of the intent in creating the board. It will get peaceful again and then out of nowhere it starts all over again. I even offered to meet in a new thread and talk it out, and we went, and waited, and they bailed.

Liz is being much more mature about it than i have been. I just have a hard time sitting back and watching her be constantly insulted without fighting back. The moderators have stepped in and asked us to stop, and i will. I still see where theyve posted and of course their "supporters" and im reminded of being in grade school again.

its got to stop.

im willing for this to be the last thats said about it. I bet money it wont be, but im willing to let it go.

If you want someone to leave you alone, posting them messages in response to their posts, which you claim you can't even see, is not the way to accomplish your goal.

If you really want to be left alone, then make the assumption that whatever they're posting is NOT actually all about you, and ignore them. Not board function ignore them, but big girl ignore them.

I've never once actually seen it work where someone says "leave me alone," continues to "talk" to those same people, and is actually left alone. I think we can all figure that one out.

losingjustme, try putting someone on 'ignore'. you will see their name, you will see THAT they posted, but you wont see what they wrote. With all the stuff thats been flying round between us all, she would be right in assuming anyway even if i didnt ride her about it. Why are you involved? I believe liz even referenced you as someone she respected in a post on this very thread or another like it?

Wheetsin, i know what you think, and you are wrong. I already said i would stop.

In this thread: They started. She responded by reminding them she has them blocked, they came back with more (and where is their repremand?) and she again reminded them she has them blocked. That isnt provoking.

They can say whatever they wish, and thats okay? Liz cant even post on the board without this. Because she doesnt fight back i think it makes her an easy target.

I was addressing Lizrbit - I think.
I dont see it as provoking. I see it as defending herself.
I'm sorry, but when someone isn't addressing someone else, and then has a comment like Id like to have a paintball match with wasabubblebutt sometime. As a matter of fact, id like that very very much. maybe for my birthday? maybe if i make goal? made about them, that's provocation. It is not defending onesself when "self" hasn't even been addressed in the thread. Neither of the people you're griping about had so much as brought up either of your names here. Their names were brought into it. That is not provocation.

Be the bigger person and walk the higher road.

wheet, i made that post as humorous. I was trying to lighten the issues between me and wasabubblebutt. My boys play paintball all the time, and usually it makes things better after.Its a lot of fun, and it came right after a pretty severe lashing from her on another thread, and i knew she was following me from thread to thread. I thought that she would find humor in it. Several times i have tried to lighten the subject. when i do it , im 'attacking' when SHE does it, and i respond to it, im 'taking things too personally'.

My aunt is right, i do feel like i cant even post anywhere anymore on this board.

Unfortunately the only person that this hurts is me. I dont live near (or even in the same sate) as a support group and have needed this board, as i have stated MANY times in letters to administration about this specific issue. (i dont think there is administration anymore, sort of like the wizard in the wizard of oz).

I am going back to Houston with my aunt and will be able to attend a support group there in person, very soon, so its all good. We leave tomorrow morning.

it all goes back to the post i made that wasa took personally that wasnt even about her in the first place...where i spoke about how people treat each other online. I read your post on another thread about what happens to people's maturity when they sign online, the types of personalities that support boards draw and i couldnt agree more.

i am just someone who lives way up in the sticks, was banded, and rebanded in houston, and struggling and looking for help. What i got met with was bullying. I tried confronting it, i tried ignoring it, ive brought family in and sorry hazey but that made the situation worse and still...nothing changes.

Its one thing to walk into a room and slap someone. its another thing completely to go somewhere for SUPPORT and get slapped in the face. you know?

      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 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. 💗

        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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
