Don't forget that we smother it in gravy too! hahahaha

Bravo!

I am more active on Facebook's Sleeve pages, than I am here and I see it daily -- people post stupidness and expect everyone to run to them and "baby them" -  for example, a woman posted that she can eat 2 cups of food by forcing it and then returning an hour later to eat the rest.  She says she wants her Sleeve to stretch because she wants to eat normally.  She then posts pictures of huge amounts of food that she's eating.  IF anyone says anything to her, she gets irate stating that her eating habits are no one's business.  Well then don't post about them on FB!  The same goes for the woman who eats a pint of Ben and Jerrys and then asks, "was that really bad?"  Or the one who goes out and gets drunk because "peer pressure" makes her, even though she is only 3 weeks post Sleeve.  "Should I not have done that?"  Seriously?  Why ask that if you don't really want to know the answer! 

Heck no!  Eating a pint of ice cream, getting drunk at 3 weeks post op and eating until you vomit on a daily basis because you want a normal sized stomach back - are just plain stupid things to do and IF I read them, I am going to respond.  IF someone doesn't want an honest response, then don't post online. 

Life sucks and it's full of all kinds of people.  I tend to always be positive and give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but I have my limits too!

I come from a very blunt in your face family, and say things without thinking, trying to be more sensitive and not stick my foot in my mouth as much..maybe, possibly others suffer from the same affliction i do...just something to consider,

 

Really? Who died and made you the posting police?  Put your big girl panties on and deal.  If you are so sensitive that people that you don't know on an open internet forum affects your life, then that's another problem all together.  Don't post, don't read and use the block button.

Its people like you that open their mouth and should keep it shut. My post was to maybe make those people aware that not all people take harsh comments as productive. I have no problem other than ******** who sit behind a computer talking **** that wouldn't say it in person. You can excuse yourself now. Have a blessed day.

I never, ever, post here anymore, but back, like 2 years ago, I felt the same way you did. Sometimes the board gets crazy and there are straight out fights (I used to be involved in those) and other times it's all fairies and rainbows. Honestly, when it's all fairies and rainbows I think it's less productive. If we got fat enough to need surgery, it's possible that coddling is NOT what we need. I know you're not asking for coddling and just saying people shouldn't be rude but sometimes that's what it takes to snap someone out of it. Different people respond to different tactics and some posts/responses may not be for you but they may be for others. A lot of us feel sorry for ourselves and feel like victims (which could be part of the reason we got the size that we got... and some of us don't even realize that we are feeling sorry for ourselves) and we need a kick in the ass. I don't see anything here now that equates to bullying like I used to see on the DS board. Also, being a month out from surgery I can guarantee that you're a lot more emotional and sensitive that usual. We all go through that. It's part of the process.

 

On a side note, you're not responding very nicely to the people who aren't agreeing with your opinion. No need to be rude. Two wrongs don't make a right. You can't ask people to be nice and then respond in a rude manner. It throws your credibility out the window.

Gee I forgot the question, lets all start from the beginning and lighten up a little, hey that's kind of funny that I said that here on obesityhelp.com...time to move on to another subject
