What's with rating personal profiles?

I understand having the five star system to rate forum topics' date=' groups, etc. However, having it to rate an actual person feels so, I'm not sure... icky? Judgmental? Rude? Classless? We all have worth in various forms. I'll tell you, I didn't think anything about it until I visited my own profile to update my weight and saw that I had been rated four stars. I'd like to say that it didn't matter to me, but it kind of hurt. Don't get me wrong, if you knew me in person I'd probably be found to be a two star individual on my best day, but this is a place I come to for acceptance, because we all share a huge similarity in our journey. I come here to speak openly and honestly about my struggles and victories with my sleeve, and to post questions without fear of ridicule. I guess it just bothers me. And, no, this is not a plea to visit my profile and rate me. It's a desire to have this aspect of the site removed all together.[/quote']

I can't see stars on my iPad. Probably a good thing as I likely don't have any lol. (You can't go negative can you?). But in all seriousness, I totally agree with rating doctors, but posters? Ridiculous. It sounds like something the mean girls club would put in place. I hope they get rid of it. It's very juvenile.

(This now ensures I have negative sixteen stars lol).

Funny...when I was in rotary I found out they give a badge for attendance. Having been the child of someone who worked undercover regularly, I was never able to get that badge in school, which as a small child bothered me. I skipped the next rotary meeting to make sure I'd not win the badge, thus putting me in the "total nerds and proud of it" category :P. spending too much time on stars would likely do the same...and I have so little time for a campaign heh heh. VOTE FOR ME!!!!! I'm cool and stuff lmao. (I'm not, please don't lol).

Hehe.. I wrote about this about a month ago! I was updating my profile... I had never even noticed the grey stars by my name until that day.

Why? Because someone gave me a big fat 1 star rating!

Yes folks! 1 star!!!

I think your right' date=' it is wrong on so many levels!

(Hint I was able to see the last few people that visited my page.. So yeah)

Oh and by the way can you stop by proudgrammys page and up her stars to five I keep trying but It's not working.[/quote']

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
