Haven't seen anything too bad since joining... I guess I'm in the right forums...lol.

Or you're not overly sensitive and looking to be offended when you ask for justification to eat tacos 45 minutes post op.

Everyone knows that it isn't safe to eat taco's 45 minutes post op; you need to wait 1 hour.

That's swimming. No SWIMMING for an hour post op.

I was never one to ignore people until recently. I don't mind when people disagree with me, but I do mind when people start name calling (not me, but other people), cursing, attacking the person not the issue, etc. Now I have about 10 people blocked because, honestly, they are not worth the negativity they bring in to my thoughts.

Scroll up to your name and a drop down menu will appear. Go to manage ignore prefs and type in the username of the person you want to ignore.

It's a great thing.

Take what you need and leave the rest. This really is a great forum despite a few.

Wait, whuuuuuut? Who has time to call another's surgery center to discuss their post op plans?

:faint:

I don't even have time to take a proper poo most days.

I'm just sitting over here trolling.

LOL, clearly.

It's because I'm Mexican, isn't it?

I had surgery on Wednesday morning, I was walking the halls by 3pm with a bit of discomfort in my shoulder and back from gas, stopped pain meds on Thursday morning, home by Thursday afternoon and driving and operating as usual by Friday.

The pain is manageable but walking it off is key.

Wait. You're black?!?

Clearly, you are ignoring me.

What's even funnier? This isn't a special forum. It's a THREAD someone started.

There are forums for PCOS, religious, LBGTQ, bikers, etc., though if one would like to go harass them!

This was supposed to be a good place to discuss everything about WLS and that is why I joined yestersay, but there are so many users who just jump all over anyone who makes the slightest mistake or unknowingly posts something that triggers a freaking avalanche of users. This isn't a discussion forum at all.

The definition of a discussion is an exchange of ideas and opinions. A discussion doesn't mean that we all have to agree or have the same opinion.

Safe space? Are you kidding? Nothing safe about eating off plan post op. Nothing safe about sharing the thought process that being a "little rebellious" is ok. To me, this puts all the lurkers and those doing pre-op research in a really dangerous position. You (general/plural) are giving yourself justification/permission to "cheat" "just a little".

It's not cute, it's not funny (looooool) and it's not safe.

No judgement. It's your body. Just offering my opinion.

Ugh. Cranky much? Don't attack me. This is how I deal.

You obviously deal by trolling. Yuck

I'm not cranky at all nor am I trolling. Good luck with your journey.

PS: I didn't know Soup came with a little loaf of bread! I licked all over it and chewed on a corner like a dog with a bone, then tossed it out the window. Had to be a sight for the lady riding next to me

I'm not one of those chew and spit food people. I just found some bread in my bag and it's been several weeks since I've had any. Never had it from Panera and I just wanted to taste it.

And that vivid description came after the fact, in hindsight. I'm thinking that's what anyone witnessing it would have perceived.

You licked it, gnawed on it and then littered with it.

Have you considered counseling to help you with your food urges?

Yea. I'm sitting in my surgeons office now and a referral is on my questions list. Although I don't think I had a "food urge" I made conscious decision. I have a house full of food, including several types of my favorite breads. I just wanted to know what Panera breads little loaf tasted like. Geez.

PS: I slowed down and tossed it into a waste drain.

The app is the point.

What's the point of posting your comment?

You mentioned several food urges. Tomato Soup, bread, broccoli cheddar soup... You mentioned your characteristics as being "a little bad" and "rebellious".

Not at all a good idea or a smart choice when a doctor just surgically removed 80% of your stomach and you are eating foods not allowed on your healing stomach, but hey! You do you.

You're a very pretty YOUNG lady and at only 28 I'm pretty sure at your age you might be able to get your weight down by eating sensibly and walking, I am 55 and I have been trying for 10 years to get my weight off. I wish I was 28 again there are so many other ways besides weight loss surgery for you. I don't know your health matters or how long you've been trying to lose but if I was 28 I would try exercise over surgery any day. Good luck with whatever road you take, my daughter loves dance and she dropped at least 80 lbs doing Zumba and she was right about the age you are now when she got serious. Good luck

Uh, weight loss surgery isn't just for old people, you know. Sometimes it's the best option, no matter what your age.

What a silly thing to say?

Evidently you can't interpret what you read because I said I didn't know her health issues nor did I know how long she had been trying to lose her weight. I simply stated that at 28 if she isn't liking exercise and sensible eating than wls is not a good choice because a young woman at 28 should really make surgery a last resort. Next time read something over before you open your big mouth. This is a life altering surgery and everyone can't make the changes this surgery requires. I was just letting her know her options.

That said, I wish I'd done this at 28.

I lost 80 with WWs at that age, gained it back. Lost 88 with phentermine at 33, gained it back. Lost 60 with exercise at 36, gained it back.

Lost 112 three and a half years ago with WLS. Maintaining like a dream.

@@Dub and I know this really hot girl who got her black belt pre-op and her second degree/certified instructor belt post op.

I do a combo of TKD, Ju-Jitsu and Hapkido. I do more sparring than grappling because it's against my training to let them get me down on the ground, but the Hapkido element has taught me what to do if that happens.

I wasn't allowed to train at all until I was 6 weeks out. I wasn't allowed to contact spar until 3 months out and I was't allowed to contact spar with lower belts (those people are dangerous!!) for six.

Philly cheesesteak is one of my favorite foods! We have WhichWich here that scoops all the bread out of the sub roll and that's an awesome thing now that I am cleared for all foods. I can only eat a quarter of the 6" but that means leftovers for me a a half for the hubby.

When I was in my losing stage, I would buy the rarest roast beef I could find, lay out a slice, put a mozzarella cheese stick inside with some red onion), roll it up and heat it on all sides in a pan until the cheese was melty. Cured my craving for steak and cheese without the "guilt". One roll up was the perfect amount, too. And yes, I IDID dip it in a little mayo. I often added avocado, too, but I am weird like that.

Not at all. What's to regret? I now wear a size 8 jeans, I've been at a healthy weight because of surgery for 3.5 years and have regained my life. I can run, dance all night, climb sand dunes with my family, do mud runs, shop in any store I please, wear high heels without pain...

Why would I stuff my face one last time, only to add to the weight I wanted to turn around and lose? I ate enough food in my 40 years to fill MORE than my lifetime share. Now I can still eat whatever I want, whenever I want, I just eat a small portion and enjoy each bite instead of just shoveling it in mindlessly.

Life is great. No food funeral needed. Besides, food isn't dead, no reason to mourn it and definitely no reason to Celebrate it.

I'm not perfect as some of you appear to be, but I do try to stick exactly to my doctor's plan. And I don't go outside of the plan phase in general. But it is very hard when you see that other doctors allow certain foods earlier than other do or that others never allow.

I wish you good going veryblessed, it's hard. But I expected that.

There is a huge difference between "appearing perfect" and following a doctor's PRESCRIBED plan. No, it's not easy, but I felt that not only was it critical to my well being, but also critical to my success.

Why would I follow another doctor's plan? I entrusted MY doctor with MY life so personally, that's the only plan that matters to me.

I've seen your pics. I dare say your daddy's swimmers were taller than a grasshopper's knees.

Agree to disagree, @LipstickLady.

What are we disagreeing about?

I never considered chewing and spitting and I did liquids for over a month.
