We have all these newbies coming in with questions/statements that make me wonder if they ever sat down with a NUT, their surgeon or if they were given any type of pre-op training.

Is it OK to eat pizza/tacos/fried chicken? Is ice cream soft? How about milk shakes? I ate swedish fish/noodles/rice a few days post op. I am eating french fries and chicken nuggets, but it's ok because I'm ok so everyone else will be too. I want it so I ate it and I am going to get mad an anyone and everyone who tells me it wasn't a good idea.

Anyone who disagrees is mean, rude, sarcastic, judgmental, non supportive, a bully, horrible, rotten, a monster. I get that this backlash is a defense mechanism because they know deep down that they are wrong but it still sucks to watch this downward spiral that is happening here.

It's not great advice to chew and spit. It's not great advice to move along with your food stages because (you think) your body is telling you that it's OK. (Your body does NOT know best or you wouldn't be in this spot in the first place.)
Vets should leave because all the above advice and pandering and coddling is MUCH better than real, honest, truthful, experienced answers.

It's a freaking $h!tstorm out there the last few weeks. Seriously.

I recently saw my PCP regarding an entirely non-weight related topic when she brought up being referred to a bariatric clinic. I've not tried overly hard lately to try losing weight, but my attempts in the past have gotten me down 5 or 10#, then right back on. So I'm debating whether I want this or not... at 29 years old and 274# (41% BMI), I definitely want to lose the weight. As a nurse that has back issues causing chronic pain, and diabetes and heart disease in the family, I'm well aware of what may happen if I don't lose it... But I'm not sure if I can do what I need to do to get to surgery. I'd love to hear any feedback or stories that anyone is willing to share.

Dont give out bad advice, with everything you eat like it is a badge of honor. Because those things can hurt her and at the least sabotage her. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

Hopefully nothing. I suggest to watch a video of how raw and swollen your stomach is. Then think about taking a nugget and rubbing it on an already inflamed, swollen and raw sleeve.
You chose to have this surgery, but it is worthless if you dont have to stick to your plan. Its a tool, not a miracle or magic wand.
Reevaluate, regroup and move forward to not eat like that for a very very long time.. Otherwise you will hurt yourself.

Good advice. I also have had a little harsh response to one of my posts. Please don't let a few hurtful responses turn you off to this. There is an extremely amount of experience and tips here. I have gained so much info. I believe that the people who are the furthest out from surgery tend to forget how they felt when they were starting out. Don't engage with negative comments. That's the best way to handle it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I just went back through every single post you've made and honestly I haven't really seen anything too bad.. The last one or 2 post was possibly borderline.. And you seemed a little bit over sensitive.. Emotions maybe? I know I can be that way.. And it's not uncommon pre or post surgery because of little to know carbs.. It can make you get roller coaster emotions.. Just take a deep breath.. Try to ignore what you don't like and continue appreciate all the help you did and will get Munky

Sorry you feel that way, I know especially with typing there is no way to take how someone is talking to you. Don't take it personal and you should stay.

They give you instant dry mouth so I think the lemonade is the least weird, almost even good, because you expect a tartness with lemonade lol.

I did too much yesterday and an incision is sore too. Ice helps a bit.
It hurts to get out of bed but I have to walk.

Just be careful guys. I didn't have a whole lot of pain either after the first few days and then I did too much and felt like I pulled an internal stitch out and it hurt for two days. I am three weeks out today and I was feeling good and just did too much. So even if they aren't bothering you, you should take it easy.

I am 8 days post op haven't had pain from my incisions at all
