What Happened To Gustavo52974?



Recommended Posts

Butter I do not remember any disagreements that he was involved in. Tried to pull up some of his old entries but couldn't find them or figure out how to do it. That is strange. Maybe someone else has knowledge of what happened. Makes you wonder how save it is to respond on here.

all of his posts on Sept 1 give sort of a disclaimer that he is not giving advice.

an older post (end of august) says something to the effect "don't worry I am NEVER giving advice out again on this site"

put his name in the search box (upper right-hand corner of page-- in title bar) and click the drop-down menu; select "forums" -- all the titles with his posts will come up (unless admin. deleted some of his posts for offensive reasons).

For what its worth, I sent an email to "Alex" voicing my opinion.....that I don't know what happened, but that Gustavo was one of the "sane and serious" people using this site, and that he's missed by his "friends". Crazy. :(

Wow that's weird, because don't we all seek or advice of sorts from this forum???

Yep, basically it was a heated thread where an admin stated that no one on this forum was qualified to recommend anyone seek professional help. Gustavo obviously felt offended that he was being told what advice he could and could not give out on this forum. If anything transpired after that it was either behind closed doors or it got deleted.

I just messages admin requesting a pardon for him. I'm sure whatever he did was pretty serious to merit a ban, I've seen some crazy stuff fly here, so maybe they'll show him some grace.

Alex emailed me back and said he wasn't aware of any administrative action against him, and asked why i thought he'd been banned. I replied "Because his profile says he's banned." Maybe it'll get sorted out, and fixed.

If nothing else, I'd like to know what not to say. My suggestions (in response to posts) often include seeking professional help, whether from a surgeon, nutritionist, or therapist...because most often those are the ones the questions/issues should be taken to (as opposed to asking unqualified strangers on here). I'd hate to get kicked off the site for speaking sense, just because someone took it personally.

      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.

      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!!
