Paid Posters and Other annoying people

Wow-- I had no idea there was this kind of controversy around here. I'm a newbie so I guess I haven't been around long enough to see this stuff.

That's what I'm talking about Donna. I didn't even think about posters getting paid. :ohmy:WOW.

During the year that I have been participating in this forum, I have learned to let posts that are confrontational just roll off my back.......and I embrace the ones that seem genuine.

If nothing else, I have just learned a new trick so that I can block posters who are not edifying, supporting, or bariatric curious. It took me a minute to figure out what CP meant, but I got to the right place by going to my account.

So, the recent paranoid poster who keeps accusing us of attacking him by responding to his drama (and repeatedly threatens to leave and won't go) is the only one I have blocked, but at least I know how to manage that. Thanks for the tip.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
