You can have sandwiches (with bread? !?) at only 3 weeks out? I'm 3 weeks out and I still can't even have pureed food.

Hi there...yes, gay here. I just had my sleeve done on July 9th, so I'm an extreme newbie. I took two weeks off from work, and I'm getting really tired of sitting at home watching tv and movies. Has anyone else noticed that about every third commercial on tv is for a food product or restaurant? Drives me insane.

Making suggestions and telling people what to do are very different things. I've never told anyone on here what to do. I can't make anyone do anything. If someone doesn't want solicited or unsolicited suggestions, they don't have to take it. I never said I was a medical professional just because I had surgery. If no one is allowed to give advice, then why does this forum exist?
And I'm sorry, but I don't like to be called a "pot calling a kettle black."

And b
By that same logic, because we're not medical professionals we shouldn't tell people about WLS or even suggest it?

No, I'm always the bad guy. People can attack me all they want, but god forbid I say something that someone doesn't like, I get chastened or chastised. I have found this forum to be extremely helpful and the people friendly and generous of spirit (for the most part). I guess I just get tired of people attacking the forum in general and telling us that we hurt their feelings, or they don't like what we post, or we aren't helpful so they don't want to come back, or we're a bunch of know-nothings for suggesting they get help beyond this forum, god forbid. Isn't there a rule against THAT?

Fist, your failure with counseling is YOUR experience, not everyone else's. I went to a counselor who specializes in weight problems because I wanted to know why I started gaining weight. I thought maybe I was an emotional eater, but that wasn't the case with me. I found out that there are MANY reasons why someone puts on weight, both physical and psychological. I was successful at pinpointing my problems with food, but that doesn't mean I necessarily have to share it with others. Everyone is different and I can't tell people what their problems are--I'm not a licensed therapist. I've already talked about what my problems were and I don't like repeating myself. If you're so desperate to know, read my collected posts.
And I decided to get counseling AFTER reading this forum because I read a lot of different people's stories and viewpoints. I wasn't sure which applied to me. So it was BECAUSE of other people's suggestions on here that I sought counseling and I feel so much better about my own situation.
So to hurl these criticisms at those who recommend counseling is undeserved and a failure of logic. Just because it wasn't helpful for you doesn't mean it couldn't work for someone else. You took a seriously wrong turn there. You shouldn't rely on lay people to give you psychological advice. "Duh!"
You can throw all the nasty posts you want at me now, but I will not read them or any other posts you make, so you probably shouldn't bother.

A little bit of tough love here, but let's add things up: he's a drug user (yes, marijuana is a drug), he's cheated on you, he's emotionally abusive, he's controlling and doesn't want you to spend time with your family, he's a financial disaster, he'd rather you be big than thin, he's emotionally erratic, you're waiting for him to physically hurt you before you can divorce him, and you think giving him children will help things. Seriously, how many red flags do you need here?

Yep, gay here too. Moreover, I'm gay and I live in New York City. Discuss.

You were allowed to have alcohol 12 days after your surgery?

Gross, but true. And stool softener was essential in my case. I learned the hard way. I'll just say the words "bowling ball" and leave it to your imagination.

Not to be indelicate, but I'd love to be able to see my junk without a mirror.

This is totally a guess, and I don't mean to spread libel, but I'd bet real money Jennifer Hudson had some kind of WLS. Also, I have no idea if WLS was involved, but Kristen Wiig looks like someone who had lost a lot of weight at some point. I see it in her face.

She did Weight Watchers commercials. That doesn't preclude the possibility that she had WLS.
