The internet is infested with tiny minded, decorum devoid, psuedo intellectuals whose main interest is to bask in the illusionary light of their self deluded power at the expense of anyone but their own loathsome sub-humanness.

Lotta jerks.

It makes me sad how mean people can be hidden behind their computers....so sad.

People that have never had a weight problem /food addiction can't understand what it's like to fight a never ending battle with yourself :(

I actually saw a box to check on my nut intake form for previous diets tried & they had jaw wiring as a diet plan.

Wtf?!?!

Jaw wiring as weight loss while it works is not a viable option.

allons-y

People sometimes say things just to get a reaction like yours. Life is too short - don't waste your time on people like that.

Comments like that are so hurtful. I hope my children will be kind human beings. I always tell them to think of other's feelings before saying something that can hurt people. There's just no more respect out there Sad, but true. I think its great that Chris Christy took action & he doesn't need to answer to anyone regarding his lap band or weight loss.

We have a local, "after the late news" show called the Edge. They try to be hip and have a couple of young DJ' types hosting. They post a lot questions on FB during the day and then talk about it and the responses. Today this is what they posted

"Would you vote for someone who had to resort to surgery to lose weight? Is there a connection between personal control and professional conduct?"

I unliked their page......

While reading these comments it occured to me why and who taught these people to be the way they are. Their parents and peers. I dont ever think us overweight people will ever be accepted in society. It took decades for people of color, gays and lesbians and even women to be finally treated equal. As for us I pray in my lifetime that maybe just maybe we will be accepted.

      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.

        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!

      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!
