Ok seriously this was not meant to be combative what so ever. I was simply stating that some people are very set in their ways and if anyone goes against that they can be negative. I posted because my dr was saying so many things that I questioned from this site that it was hard to believe what I read. I was writing my personal feelings down about what my dr said as many on this site do. I follow my drs rules I do what I am told and I learned a lot from this site. Yes I posted that I had family problems and really appreciated everyone that resoonded. Didnt take it for granted. I explained myself and said sorry for the name of the thread I should have calles it something else. I find it hard to believe that so many people got so mad about a thread titlle when all I did In my original post was state that some things are hard to read because my dr says that it isn't true doe sleeve patients. Maybe he is wrong maybe he isn't. I really couldn't tell you. I never said I had a problem with alcohol I don't drink. My mom was an alcoholic all my childhood and far into my teen years. I have made some mistakes and ate the wrong things and stopped losing but I decided to change my eating and I am losing at a good rate again. I am a young woman who wrote one stupid thing on a SUPPORT forum so please forgive me if any of it sounded so rude that I needed to be reprimanded by you all. I will go back to reading posts that I want and not saying much its not a big deal.

Ignore them. Think of them as a bunch of immature students. People this is a forum it's not about bullying. Wow big deal she wrote a title you did not like. I actually think the title stood out so got responses. Most title are like "what to eat" or "any new gastric sleevers". Truth is who gives a ****. Seriously these people don't matter. All that matters is you lose the weight the best way you can and let these fools carry on being hypersensitive. My god call me any name in the world. I really couldn't give a crap. These responses are just shameful. Everyone has opinions which I respect but I don't respect bullies!!!!!'

Had to chime in again. Some of the newer people on this site choose not to post because the vets are a bit abrasive under the veil of being or trying to be sarcastically funny with one another. They really crack themselves up don't they? I've attributed it to the hormone shift once you get closer to your goal weight. We will be there one day as well. What I will do if I'm still posting on this site in one to two years is be mindful of where I was at that point in time and if I can't control myself and feel the need to be pushy with people on a support site is find something else productive to do with my time and log off. Or maybe start a private group somewhere else where I dont have to try to resist being overly aggressive with nervous preop/freshly postop fat people. There's a difference between tough love and being snide' date=' but just like in our real lives when we have to deal with dumb a@ comments- some people just don't know any better. {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(}[/quote']

I don't exactly agree. I joined this site in January and posted A LOT. Some good questions, and some silly ones. I've never EVER gotten a rude response. The "vets" have always given me real, genuine advice. I've never felt intimidated, or scared to post.

Here we go again.

It's not bullying just because someone disagrees with you.

[LipstickLady 25,682]

Isn't it ironic that those who are accusing others of bullying are also the ones who are name calling and making personal attacks?

Good Morning!!!

How many nose pickers do we have out there on this fine Sunday morning?

Well I have done it but it doesn't define who I am as a person.

Everyone picks their nose! It's what you do with the proceeds that ultimately defines who you are a person.

I would like to think I'm more than just the final destination of my nose nuggets, but perhaps not. Sigh.

As we're sitting down to dinner last night, at a restaurant, with two foster sons we had for respite.....the youngest starts digging for gold. I pretend not to notice. But then I notice the table beside us noticing. And disapproving. So me being me, I decide to route for the underdog, and start giggling and ever-so-gently encouraging the treasure hunt.

The moral of this story is.....live and let live. Let people be who they are. And watch out for the really hard, crusty ones.

And how would one track it on MFP?

It soothes me to realize that there are others out there just as depraved as I.
