Peace and respect, my OH friends

Nicely said :)

I wanted to post something similar but you beat me to it and said it more eloquently than I could have! Thank you. I hope people follow your words of advice. Thank you!

Good lord!  What have I missed now?  Whos taking my **** Stirring Title - Whos the new Carb Cop in town, LOL?

Oh relax, it's just little old me.  :)  And you are welcome to carry the badge for a bit. 

Drop the mic!

 

(btw, that's a compliment- no drama here)

Well, Hell! Who diet and made you the Queen of Peace, the voice of reason????? Come on, spoon out some of that *****erella instead! LOL!

Very well said Ann. This is a hard journey and kindness really does make it easier. Props to you, girl.

Some of us (me) take highway 1 to goal. It's curvy, white-knuckled and nauseating - but one ******g fun ride. Others take I5--boring and fast and way too much ******g time on their hands when they get to their destination and it takes them through Bakersfield which smells like cow **** 

Thing is, we are all trying to get to the same place - somewhere happy and healthy and hopefully a little less ****** up in the head. 

Ann - you are awesome. Preach it sista!

PCH - the only way to roll.

Thank you  :)

My Uncle hung himself one week ago today. Let me finish- I'm not completely off topic & I do not need any condolences. (Thank you though )

So it makes arguing about whose diet is "right" or whose doctor is "better" pretty darn comical, petty & very childish. Let us just all be thankful that we were even so lucky to have WLS in the first place because a lot of people aren't as lucky as us & they'd kill to have this procedure done.

I agree with you Ann 110%, we all need some peace & respect. I'll be the first one to admit that I am no saint & I've felt the need to apologize to a few people on here because I was out of line & I truly hope those people forgive me (Muttlover & Frisco.)

Extend Kindness!!! Amen to that Ann. Wouldn't the world be such a better place to live in if people could just follow that one simple rule. lol... We will never, ever truly understand what any other individual feels on his or her WL journey because we are all different. We will never, ever know if today was the worst day of someones life or their best day. Maybe just one tiny, simple little act of kindness could make a world of difference. It's worth a shot anyways.

I for one don't want to go through this alone. I'll take all of the help I can get. Especially from people like all of you who have experienced the highs & the lows, the nausea & the foamies, the post-op constipation or the liquid ****s, reaching goal or gaining a few pounds, ketosis & the damn bad breath, the dreaded hair loss & the wild sex questions. Without the openness & honesty of these boards I'd be lost. I may not post every day but I'm on here reading posts all the time, answering questions when I feel like I have something to offer. I read through these posts sometimes laughing hysterically or with tears of compassion rolling down my cheeks, sometimes my mouth drops open & occasionally my eyes may roll but I am proud to say that I have not 1 single person blocked on this website. We all need help & I am here for anyone that needs it even if we've had disagreements in the past. Life is too short to hold onto a grudge plus the stress of it all slows down weight loss & none of us want that. =)

We all just need to respect each other & understand that we're not all going to see eye to eye. Take someone's opinion or their recommendation on how to be successful at this thing with a grain of salt.

Thanks Ann for addressing these shenanigans. Someone needed to.

Much love to all, Goodnight from WA. State,

Hilary
