No offense to most veterans on here, but sometimes we newbies would like to converse amongst ourselves. Which is primarily why I go to the forums marked BEGINNERS. :) Most people on this site are very helpful but some are just plain ol assholes. lol

Well, you are in Rants and Raves now, so you are fair game ;)

I have noticed that very little attention is paid to which forum you are in on this board. You will get used to it. Suggestion, if you only want a specific audience to respond, politely ask that in your thread. And yes, some of us are assholes.

lol yeah, if someone did that to me, I'd be feeling pretty patronised, too.

People don't mean to come across like that - to be fair - and most of the time.

It comes from a 'good place'.. (bit like the 'happy place' :blink: )

Try not to let it get to you. I always find bashing my head repeatedly on my keyboard often helps with the temporary 'OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!' moments. :D

No offense taken, but I'm not a vet, I'm a newbie. Do I qualify as an asshole if I don't enable bad behavior? I qualify myself as a bitch sometimes, but I'm curious if I've crossed the line into the A-hole territory! :)

Hi Mississippi Queen. I'm from Mississippi too and more of a newbie than you. I won't have my surgery until February 2014. I'm still having issues with the preliminary 3 month supervised diet. So how is it going for you now?"

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
