IS there anyways to ban people who are total asshats from posting advice in certain forums? Like no posting in the preop/introductions area because you give poor advice to newbies that do not know any better.

I was JUST having that conversation with Boo Boo Kitty... I was wondering how some newbies here ever survive with the crap advice spewing out of the asses of a choice few people. 2 spring to mind right away.

You know what really irritates me???? I follow all these posts and look up to you all that have been banded already, living the band life and all. I even wanna be like some of you! I am hoping for 'addiction transfer' to exercise!!! LOL I love that so many of you share the good and the bad about the band. So many great things about LBT. BUT...

I hate it when someone (referring to the aforementioned thread) posts all this "advice" and "secrets" and "keys" but when directly asked how to achieve or unlock them, they suddenly disappear from the thread! This just happened last week too (I'm not a stalker, I just wanna be friends with all of you guys! :tongue_smilie: and the person offered an entire thread dedicating themselves to giving advice to the new people about being at goal and all! But when called out on it can't be found to respond!!!! ARGH!! If you (that poster) can't back it up, keep your mouth shut! Ya know? There, I just had to voice it because I usually don't say much!

Does this qualify as a 'post just to post'? Am I using too many quotes?

Turler, I think I might know what thread you are talking about. And I may, or may not have made a half arsed, yet successful, attempt at hijacking that thread.

It may, or may not be why the OP of that thread now thinks that people who are smaller than a size 6 are unattractive.

asshats are. How can I laugh at them if I can't find them? Would some one please PM and enlighten me? :tongue_smilie:

I can think of three. And it's funny how they always appear to be up each other's asses.

Kinda like those Russian nesting dolls.

See, you guys know who/what I'm talking about!! LOL Seriously though, I don't even think you hijacked it, you just called her out on it. I just think ppl should be careful about boasting. There is a lot of information for us newbies to take in and digest (pun intended) and advice like severe restriction to the point of malnourishment is absurd!!! How can she be boasting in one thread and asking others for unfill/maintence advice in another? And then of course, fall off the face of that thread!

Of course, I love watching a good debate/drama unfold like anyone else! :tongue_smilie:

It's scary that she is giving advice when her 50lb loss is due to starvation. Very scary indeed.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
