tired of being lectured on here

[Nicolanz 1,484]

I think it's just hard for most of us to understand someone being obese without overeating and how the sleeve would help. I'm 7 months out and eat 1200-1400 calories a day. I eat when I'm hungry only and work out most days. If I gained weight at 1200-1400 calories a day, I'd be screwed! It's easy to live off of 500-1000 calories in the first few months but a lot harder the further you're out. For me anyway. I do understand what you're saying though. I've read some people completely blame anything other than overeating and claim to eat 800-1000 calories a day before the sleeve. How will the sleeve help them? I think the "lecturing" is to 1) help understand 2) make sure they aren't waisting money and time on this procedure that will absolutely not change their eating habits if their honestly eating 800-1000 calories anyway and 3) make sure they are 100% being honest with themselves.

I'm not saying this is you but some people truly don't understand this procedure. I even read that someone thought it would work because the sleeve doesn't process the calories like a normal stomach. You still absord all nutrients your stomach is just smaller. I agree that we shouldn't be judgmental but some people do need to be educated and quit lying to themselves! I'm sorry you felt attacked and I really do hope this works for you!

P.S. Most of my reply wasn't directed towards you. If you gain or maintain at 1400+ calories a day, I would think the sleeve will help, I hope! Good luck!

Serious! Is it a Vitamin shaped like a muffin

( you know kinda like a flintstones Vitamin is shaped like bam bam)?

Or is it a "healthy" muffin packed with Vitamins so that when you eat it instead of making you fat it will make you healthy and strong???

EXACTLY. There is one particular poster that makes me nuts. If she isn't given the exact answer she wants to hear, she reacts as if you just put a hot poker to her vajayjay. I don't post in her threads for her benefit, but for those who have similar issues and might benefit from my experience.

Sorry to be off topic but, I can totally agree on that!

I have no problem with feedback but people were saying I posed a question which I obviously did not.

[LipstickLady 25,682]

Ignorance is bliss. I will try and forget....try and forget....try and forget.

Yes and it wasnt answered...I discussed this early on that my original post had no question and only the second post did. That question was not answered anyway. I figured either people would answer what they were lectured about not ask me why I'm fat if I never overate .. why are we still talking about this?

[LipstickLady 25,682]

I answered. I don't feel lectured by others because I don't let others affect me in a negative way.

My mistake you did answer. ..I guess it was over shadowed by the other people asking me why I haven't lost weight. Kinda a little touchy subject for me since i obviously wanna know the same thing. ..but I feel I answered it well about 4-5x on this thread.

The one absolute rule of any forum is that, regardless of your topic , most input is conveyor belted out. That does not mean that all simply spew their theories blindly, though some do. It does mean that I can only draw from the experiences in my 'factory' and lay them out. Another good rule of thumb. Tangents make the forum go 'round and often spur other discussions or lighten the mood. And don't we all like being 'lighter' from time to time.
