Some people here are meanies

That has to be a special kind of stupid! :lol:

Part of the reason I was overweight was that I forget to eat. I'm fairly intelligent actually.

I often work on a project and don't take time to break for meals. It's not that uncommon. It's terrible for your metabolism. I just read a thread about binge eating, which I can't even imagine a person could do or enjoy...and shockingly enough, I didn't think they were terribly stupid....which is stupider? Or are they both bad and maybe not something to question a person's intelligence over?

I am a busy mom and run with stuff to do all day, i don't get a bit hungry so sometimes I DO forget to eat. Sure doesn't make me stupid. Just makes me absent minded and not food obsessed anymore!

I should have made clear, what I meant. When you make the mistake of mentioning that you are dieting THATS when I had someone make the sometimes I forget to eat. comment. Lighten up you fat jolly people. It's called jokes and at 360 down from 460..I have had a lot to laugh about.

I think he was referring to non sleeved skinny people....but I can't be sure. People who throw it in your face that they are so naturally skinny.

But how would one know that someone is sleeved or not? :) We have to take out minds away from "fat people and skinny people" because if all goes well aren't we attempting to be the skinny one that he's making fun of? Much like the borg we will all be assimilated.....muhahahahaha

I hate it when people who don't agree with you or don't like the way you have coped with your surgery (or don't like what your surgeon said, even) have an opinion on YOUR life. people ask questions because they want honest answers to our REAL experiences. Everyone is different and ultimately it is up to the individual person to find out what works for them but don't chastise someone for having a different experience to you or your surgeon.

Saying that people are meanies is such a nice way of putting it. Let's call a spade a spade... They are assholes.

I've noticed that the recent topics on the right go by pretty quickly. If you post late at night you are less likely to get an answer. A hugely attended forum like this buries things pretty quickly.

I try to answer the ones that are dropping off the bottom if they have no response but I can't be here all the time.

I am too busy with my save the tuna campaign. :rolleyes:

I am gonna have to stop posting because I am sorry but I have a short fuse and since I just had surgery I don't think it is healthy for me and yes I was being attacked for being a new member.

      Waiting for surgery date…still undecided sleeve vs. RNY

        I had the sleeve 9/13/21 and just had a the sleeve to bypass revision on 5/3/23. My HW:321 (I'm 5' 8" tall)and I went down to 254 while doing my 7 nutrition appts required by my insurance company. So just changing the way I ate, I was able to get those pounds off w/o surgery. I have many Co morbidities mixed hyperlipidemia, diabetes, htn, MI due to covid. I had read and done quite a bit of research so I could choose the best surgery for myself and learned previous to my sleeve that someone as heavy as I was and all the Co morbidities I have, it was better in my situation to have the bypass but, my DR. Kept saying I would have the same results with the sleeve. Every time I would see him and say to him that I felt it would be best to just get the bypass, he just shot me down and said the sleeve would produce the same results! Why he kept asking me which surgery I wanted at each visit just to tell me the sleeve was all I needed still a mystery to me????? Let's just say, my Dr. Was wrong you see, the surgeries are both about the same price, but the sleeve is easier for the surgeon to perform so I think my DR. Just wanted the easier since he would get the same pay no matter what. After sleeve surgery I did go from 254 to 226 BUT that's just because you are healing from surgery and can't eat anyway as soon as I recovered! I was starving non-stop. I went right back up and stayed at 248. Still had to take cholesterol meds, blood pressure meds, diabetes meds etc. I'm now almost 4 weeks post op the bypass and feel great. I'm not starving all the time, went from 248 to 220 and doing great! Not only what you just read about my story, you also hear about a lot of people needing revision after the sleeve due to acid reflex like severe acid reflex all the time. So the bypass surgery is the only way to stop This reflux if you acquire this condition after sleeve surgery. The regain possibility is higher with sleeve than bypass so just think about all these factors before you make your decision. I wish I would have just had the bypass and saved myself from having to have 2 surgeries in under 2 years. The bypass surgery was also less painful for me lol! I don't know if the new surgeon was better or what but, I was home the next day. After the sleeve I had to stay an extra night due to the nausea and vomiting all night and for pain control.

      Who knew Filet Mignon would make me so sick. Leftovers from Mother's Day.  On the upside..next day I started walking outside a little over a mile without stopping or back pain. That's a bit deal for me considering how inactive I've been for years. Woot woot!

      Five-week follow-up for gastric bypass and now on lifetime food plan. No restrictions.  In all that time I was fortunate to get sick only one time, week 1, on Easter. Chicken broth...go figure.
