It's a shame that members are leaving this group over this silly nonsense. Aren't we all mature adults? I also disagree with any form of bullying or degrading. Many of us have already had to deal with this with way too many people in our lives, we don't need that type of treatment on here too. This is a support forum. There has to be respect. With that said, I believe we should also be honest with one another and definitely give constructive criticism. Maybe some of us are too sensitive for any type of criticism and I can understand where you're coming from. It can feel awful to feel judged when you've been criticized and judged all or most of your life. However, members should not feel like they're walking on eggshells and/or be afraid to ask questions or make comments. I have only come across one member who was rude with another and believe me, the member on the receiving end let him have it. Not only that, many members came to her defense and did too and I haven't seen him on since. He may have deserved it (the person who defended herself for days, lol) but don't you think he was also bullied right out of the forum too? It's ridiculous. We shouldn't behave this way. All you have to do is ignore negative comments, that's all. We can give feedback with respect and tactfulness. I also used to post every night what I had for dinner but I stopped and now just read what others post for dinner. My dinner is a lot of the same stuff. I'm on soft foods. I don't experiment much. I do know that when I did post I preferred for someone to ask me or give me feedback on what I'm eating than to just lie or stay quiet even if they think or know that what I've eaten might not be the best choice. I use fitness pal and log my foods on there and have added friends from this forum. They can view my diary and I honestly welcome all feedback which so far has been all positive. Why can't we all just get along? To the sarcastic ones, you guys make me laugh. I know better than to get offended that easily and I know most of you just speak your minds...I like what you see is what you get type of people...I appreciate the humor. Now, can we get back to just posting what we had for dinner tonight? I love them recipes, keep 'em coming!

People shouldn't post there bad choices on a "public" forum. I certainly don't post my poor choices I am far from perfection.
If I did then I deserve comments and constructive critisim from my peers for sabotaging my WLS. When did we start rewarding people for failure?
If a person has a issue ( i.e., trigger, trauma or whatever makes he/she eat) they need to seek help. WLS is a tool not a therapists. Many people slip through the cracks or manipulate the system to get this procedure only fail because of an unresolved underlying issue. I have been positive and helpful on this forum for over 390 posts. Just because I think some of these comments are humerous, sarcastic and funny does nor make me a bully, judgememtal or degredating. Maybe the sensitivity button should be turned down a knotch or maybe some need to laugh about themselves occasionally?!

shastadaisy where have you been? I love you too you are a WYSISWYG (what you see is what you get! Say it like it is . The sphincter police will be after you too!!!!!!

Don't take that the wrong way though. That was just a little 'constructive criticism'.

Seriously on this thread... I just want to see what people are having for dinner.... Ignore the comments you dont like ...last night I tried emily bites lasagna cupcakes. They were ok.

FYI my ass hurts....I'm not gonna be a good runner!!!!

I was actually told by my dr, and nutritionist, not to bother running. They said you get the same workout by walking briskly without the harsh impact on the knees. I had been thinking about taking up running.

I had revision seven months ago, and feel so happy with it. I just feel normal, long gone are those choking feeling, no gagging, no forced or non forced puking, i can sit down and eat with my family (before i had to stand to eat, and that usually ended up with a rush to the bathroom)).
With the band i was always hungry or thinking of food or feeding on sweet stuff that me feel better. Now i eat a small meal and im satisfied. I do not live to eat. I just live. I have lost just about 105 pounds, feel great and best of all get to live the life of an active mum!
The only down thing of my weight lose in one of my daughters eyes is now she can't play hide and seek behind me!!!
Good luck with the op! It will change your life!

I had my RNY 8/24/2009 and haven't filt hungry since. I think it's what has helped keep the weight off.

I don't do the weight in Friday or Monday cause when I hit 115 at 6 months post up I been the same for 4 months now. I still see the NUT monthly & my weight is the same. I will go back to exercising next Monday. My only issue is saggy skin.
