I think it's good - even critical - for people to know both sides. My surgeon never really told me the "bad". If it weren't for this site, I'd have had no idea what was happening when I had my first PB, and probably would have ended up in an ambulance/ER. I would also think that being able to eat chicken and Pasta means there's something wrong, because everytime I would go in for a fill that's what he would ask -- can you eat chicken? Can you eat pasta? (Umm, SHOULD I not be able to, because I can...)

I don't like surprises. I like to know exactly what I'm getting into, as medical staff that has cared for me can attest to. If it's bad, who cares, I can deal with it, but I need to know it can happen. If it's going to hurt, tell me, but tell me how long it's going to take you to finish, if the pain will linger, etc.

I would not have gotten a well-rounded picture of the band had I just listened to the medical resources.

The people who really want to commit suicide to end their lives (not talking about the ones who commit suicide to hurt someone else) aren't the ones who call a hotline and announce they're going to jump, or make a big dramatic scene about it. That would give someone the oppourtinty to intervene, and they don't want that. They're the ones who slip away unnoticed, never to be heard from again. The people who make the big scene are the ones who want to be talked out of it.

I liken this to "announcements" of people leaving a board. If someone really wants to leave, why don't they just slip away? Why even announce it? Are you hoping people try to talk you out of it? The ones who really want to leave aren't the ones who post "This is my last post" because -- who cares? Why aren't you just gone already? (Maybe the answer is "there's still more attention to gather.")

Usually if someone announces they're leaving, they're not leaving. I posted this once long ago to someone else dramatically announcing they were leaving, and she posted to argue with me -- that she was indeed leaving. But umm... you're still here disagreeing with me, even though your last post was like 3 posts ago... and there you are again...

Whatever the case, if you find a resource valuable, then it's a shame you let anyone have enough power over you to make you leave.

I completely agree.

I told my doctor at support group that having a lap band has changed my life. Then , I went on to say that's it's not because of the weight loss, it's because I found LBT. I am addicted to it and have met some pretty wonderful people here. I could never live without LBT but I don't think I'll ever even have to try.

I just love the word snort. Sounds like snot. Snot reminds me of picking my nose. Picking my nose reminds me of bing a kid, that reminds me of when I could run in the yard naked through the sprinkler.

I wish I could still run naked through the sprinkler.

Damm those Water restrictions.

I'm still laughing at all the varied responses, but I have to admit, this one made me laugh the hardest:

You're fat. Stop whining. It's annoying. Don't be fat AND annoying.

Is that anything like:

I may be fat, but you're ugly and stupid. And I can lose weight...

I find it annoying when people rant in super huge coloured letters in an attempt to get our attention, but can't even spell. (and before anyone corrects me, we spell "coloured" with a U in Australia :teeth_smile:). I mean not only does what you're saying sound like a big pile of crap, you can't even spell what you're trying to say so we can understand it properly.

Now who is being annoying???? Hmmmm?

In the new movie "Horton Hears a Who" there is a line by the little fluffy yellow friend of Horton's, saying in his world they "eat butterflies and poop rainbows"---or it might even be the other way around eat rainbows, and poop butterflied, I don't remember, but my 3 year old granddaughter does, and repeats it often!!!!

Everyone is a pony and they eat rainbows and poop butterflies.

That was a cute movie, I took the kid to see it last night.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
