Who is Sandy R? I keep seeing her posts all over the OH Forums as a band educator and a nurse, but I am wondering who exactly she is.:thumbup:

Wouldn't it make more sense to ask that question over on OH than to ask here at LBT??? I am not being a smart a$$---just not following the logic.

No worries, Sue. Gotta be careful what you read over there, though. Actually, you have to be careful with what you read over here,too.....but we're more wacky and lovable.

Thank you Plain...it was very kind of you to respond the way you did instead of just "assuming" I meant to "start something". I won't be posting over here, it doesn't seem to be a peaceful place to find support, but again, I thank you.

The rants and raves section of any forum is not the most peaceful of places. I have read some of the rants and raves at OH and decided never to go there again.

I have a found that I have about four or five places on this forum that I feel very accepted and get a lot of feedback and support.

I haven't seen any of these post your speaking of, but I know that if you do look somewhere besides rants and Raves for your support you will usually get it. The group that hangs in r&r are pretty nice for the most part, they will debate you but most try to attack ideas and not people.

Welcome to lapbandtalk, I'm glad to have you. I hope that you will find the support you are looking for.

I think she meant that someone on OH was trying to start something.

I can vouch for Sue RN she's been very helpful to me when I've had problems in the past. Let's not try to jump on people just because they aren't people we're familiar with at LBT, a lot of us go to other WLS forums. Nancy:smile:

That is exaclty what I meant, but stand by my original post---about why they come here to LBT to ask about a OH poster. That made no sense to me then, and still doesn't.

I have no issue with Sue RN, who I do not know, have never spoke with, nor ever seen here at LBT. And honestly don't feel I jumped on anyone.

To open your first posts in R&R, and to do so asking questions about someone from another WL forum......makes me wonder what it is all about --- simple as that. But I made that clear and went on.....which I am doing again!!! :thumbup:

      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!

      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.
