Ebonise, I noticed the exact same thing. Either way the OP was rude to someone who was offering support.

2 things...I am the OP and I do not care if what I said was rude or not. I didn't ask about some non-existent beings' plan. So if I was rude, that's fine. I believe I got my point across. As far as faith goes, ebonisekim, you take it for granted that the term "faith" ONLY applies to christianity. I think my beliefs have been made clear. Faith has NOTHING to do with some supreme being for me. My faith lies in life and karma. I am a good person and. I do not harm others. I was speaking about faith in terms life. NOT christianity.

I feel sorry for you that your concept of "beliefs" is so twisted that you go crazy over someone offering you well meant support to help you feel better about your situation. You made one thing clear and that is you are rude, and we all know what they say about karma :)

Nevermind, you know what? I was taking up for you as a follow nonbeliever but I wish I hadn't. You've done nothing but make an ass of yourself. If you are so sensitive maybe the Internet is not for you.

I don't understand why a simple "thanks for the support" wouldn't suffice instead of blowing up about it. If I were to meet a non-believer on the street and said "Merry Christmas", would they jump my ass for not asking their religious affiliation or lack of one? I say Merry Christmas to EVERYONE. I mean no offense by it and so far I've gotten a bunch of "you too" answers and no one has been offended whether they be non-believers or even Jewish! I'm just that bubbly person offering season's greetings to everyone. I am not hyper religious, a devout Christian or a "bible thumper". The world is just SO sensitive. No need to blow up here. You'd be surprised how much support/advice fellow sleevers here have.

Nursegrace: you don't know me or ANYTHING I have been through with "christians" so it's not that the internet is not for me, this post is obviously not for you. This took place a short while ago, it's over, I have my solution and, trust me, I don't need anyone to defend me. Thank you, I will proudly be rude to anyone who brings up god to me so thank you for that. What makes an ass out of people are ones who post on a topic that was over long ago and nobody even thinks about. If I am an ass, so be it. You're the bigger ass for commenting on a DEAD topic. Get a grip people. This is over, move on like I am.

I didn't say having faith applies to Christianity I said that the word u use was contradicting because the word having faith is believing in something what ever it is

I think the best thing is to ignore her posts. Everyone knows you can't reason with a fool. She's a non believer now, but when that day comes and she meets her maker. She will surely regret it.

And my faith was believing that I am going to have a surgery that, at the time this topic was started, had begun to fade. How is that contradictory? As far as the Karma saying, it's that Karma is a b***h. Karma, meet me...a HUGE b***h myself! Don't deny it, will defend it; nobody knows what life has been like for me. I am like this for a reason and have NO interest in weakening myself to spare someone else. My suggestion is simple; if you dislike what I say, move on. If you choose not to, be ready to REALLY dislike me and what I have to say. Just know this, the ONLY people who matter to me are the ones who really know me and understand WHY I am how I am...and they love me despite that. Nobody on the internet matters to me. I will get into it with ANYONE who brings up god to me. It's a VERY sore spot and will be until I die! Like it or not, that's how it is.

How can I regret meeting a made up story? Can't fear what doesn't exist. Christians are the fools. What do they do when they die and NOTHING happens? Realize how STUPID and GULLIBLE they are?

See what I'm saying? Fool.

This is just as inappropriate as her posts. Please, can we all grow up?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
