This morning my message inbox here contained a message from another member, who apparently is unhappy about something she thinks I did. The interesting thing is that the ID was different than the one I have ignored because this woman constantly harasses and attempts to bully me every time I post. The picture is the same person pictured in the ID I ignored. The message is threatening legal action against me and I have no clue what she is upset about. I went in to add to my blog and there she is with her other ID ranting about me attacking her in her personal life. I don't know this person or give a rats behind, but how is this allowed to happen? I reported the post and contacted member services about the threatening message, this morning...no response. WTF????

Send Alex a private message.

Good luck

Go to each identity and hit the "report" button. Then, for reason, type exactly why. Do this for each and every one.

Do the same for the private message you were sent, with the "report" button.

We all have differences of opinion but that behavior is completely uncalled for. I've had it happen too in the past so I know how it sucks.

Also, if you don't hear a response within 24 hours, I'd message Alex again. He's very good at watching these boards and doesn't put up with harassing behavior.

I think I know the poster Ms Maui, and if you actually panned her book on Amazon that is why she is angry. LBT should not carry over to other venues

Generally there are 2 or sometimes even 3 sides to a story. If this is genuine abuse then I would report it to Alex. If however it is a case of someone responding to something that you have done then a pm is the correct way to go about it, we don't need to see others washing their dirty laundry on the nboards ( although it does get interesting at times)!

That's really sad that has to happen, I hope you get it resolved soon.

a book you reviewed on Amazon and then deleted the review. Cheryl is well and truly unhappy! She is convinced it was you.

I went through all my amazon reviews, I did review a book by a Cheryl *****, honestly had no idea it was her. No offense, but if one publishes a book, it is customary to expect reviews, isn't it. I apologized to her and removed the review. If she had pm'd me to let me know that I had upset her, we could have avoided all this nonsense. She should not have let it get to this point.

There are too many people here with too big of ego's.....I could care less about people's "Cred's" etc,....

This is the Internet...people need to get a life as opposed to making themselves feel important and look to get their ego's stroked.....

I just want to know people's experiences...good and bad...with this surgery so I can live and learn....and enjoy my life....

I also have a few people blocked...these are people who appear to me to be "Know it alls"....with little or no first hand experience.....always ready to tell other people what they should or should not do...what is the right and wrong way......

I just want to know what worked and did not work for other people....

And yes, I have a story to share...but it is my story...not something I THINK should happen.....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
