Yet Another Unsolicited Opinion...



Recommended Posts

Writing as someone who was (for a change) not involved in (as they used to call the Civil War) the "recent unpleasantness," I have an observation, comment or whatever...or two.

1--I get a more than a little tickled when I read complaints ON THE LOUNGE PAGES or FEEDBACK PAGES, from people who say they only come to LBT for the support. It's like swearing that you just went to the magazine rack to pick up a copy of Family Circle but want to complain that Playboy has some dirty pictures in it. If you're just there for the Family Circle, don't OPEN the freakin' Playboy. Leave THAT magaine to the people who DO like dirty pictures.

2--I am really not aware of who did what to whom...but, locking a thread is certainly within the rights of any moderator. As is deleting an offensive thread. But becoming a Nazi in the interest of Sweetness and Light is still becomg a Nazi...and digging up and reposting something that a member wrote and then deleted smacks of digging through the trash to find dirt on other people...all National Inquire-y. Yuck.

Just because I wasn't involved, I had to get involved after the fact.

Going back to my bubblegum flavored children's Motrin, now.

And we still haven't received a decent updated medical report from you...come on...scoop please on the most recent procedure, or direct me to the appropriate thread where I missed it. Bubble gum is yummy.

Sue, please, the post was responded to before it was deleted. It was not "undeleted. I should have not responded as harshly and defensively as I did.

Can we please let this go now?

Marie...I REALLY didn't know how many people were involved and what exactly happened. If I had known it was only one moderator involved, I would have been more vague. Sorry that I didn't read every word. It was not meant to single out anyone...just the practices involved.

I'm on the cusp of weeks two and three post-op. I'm very tired of not being 100%. My surgery was painless and I'm progressing just fine. But the progress is not speedy. And one boob is sort of tender. And I want this to be over.

Well said, Sue.

I hope the tenderness goes away soon and you're back to 100% in no time.

      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.

      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!!
