Stop the Whining Over A Few Miserable Days!



Recommended Posts

Lol likewise she should be able to tell her feelings and not have everyone jump all over her..... yes we all deal with things in our lives and heck yes some of us can deal with more them other....but just as some feel like they need there hands held throughout there journey others such as myself need to pull strength from within to get through it to each there own. I have no regrets in my life everything happened exactly as god planned I have raised three adult sons, been with my hubby over 21 years, all while being overweight...life is what u make it....make excuses and u will continue watching life pass u by or just set your mind and don't look back..no one will be there to keep u from eating too much, or eating slider foods but u so get your mind straight and just do it!!!! ;)

Hypocrisy at its finest. I've seen a couple posters in this thread come down on other posters for eating the wrong foods. But I guess it's different because they're "concerned" and "tough love" is needed. Sure as long as it's not an issue they're dealing with or dealt with in the past.

I had prepared my self for this surgery. I had lap band earlier...so some of the side effects were the same..infact when I had the band it was a shock to me...felt very weak,could sleep for days and so on...my face became so haggard due to dehydration.

with the sleeve I had mentally prepared myself...and so it was not so bad..I had decided that I would be strong and tolerate it. I took inspiration form a cousin who has just recovered from cancer. She suffered so much,surely I can tolerate my minor problems which will soon go away.

I thought I would be weak and in bed for days....instead i went to work for some time on the 7th day. Ofcourse the weakness did set in later.

all the best to you all.

me personally I will get on here and tell everyone about a slip of my lapband but I do not play poor me .....life is horrible bull crap. When you see the same people whine day in and day out its annoying... The lapband does not change or help a case of a bad personality. I did not get my lapband to sit behind a computer for the rest of my life and find the negative in everything I got it to live a better life....since getting lapband I have done 10 5ks, I got a motorcycle license and ride, no me sitting on couch stuffing my face. I would love to see more posts about the positive things that people are accomplishing...people go live!!!!

You sure sound like you talk a good game, I bet when you were calling your sister you regret having the surgery, I think them not giving you pain meds had you singing a different tune.

That's great you survived your hardships. As you said you don't know me. I know from past experiences I can get past anything. I had to fight tooth and nail to get cleared psychologically because of some of the things I experienced while deployed. But I overcame and proved one psych doc wrong and here I am. Doing better than those that got approved right away. Your blues are not mine but I don't throw a pity party. I tell myself that is the past and it will not hinder me. It's what I do next that defines me. So yes I can rant about whiners. It's my right to in this thread. This is the Perfect Place.

I don't think some comprehend what I said or that just read whine and get offended. If your going to rant & rave, whine, do it, whatever make you feel better. My POINT is that REGRETTING surgery over a few Expected Temporary symptoms is unnecessary whining. That is bit much. Maybe they weren't really ready for this Serious surgery.

They should have fought the psychologically clearance a little harder to clear you of your if I'm not having issues or regrets attitude and until I do your not allowed attitude. No wonder you didn't get your pain meds from that nurse sounds like you should have put your big girl panties on.

I think that everyone is entitled to their moment of "remorse" here and should not have to worry about being chastised for it!! Gee whiz ranters. Go rant on your own Facebook page or something. Aren't we supposed to offer support and encouragement???

I HOPE this was the post that someone was trying to report!!! :o

And, in my opinion as a host, this thread has officially gone too far. We have gone from a disagreement/discussion to personal attacks, something that is forbidden in ANY of the forums, including Rants. If we cannot disagree without attacking other members personally, I will ask that this thread be locked.

Thank you for your cooperation.

As a reminder, the rules of this forum state:

On two accounts you don't know what your talking about. First you got the wrong poster. Second don't assume about a situation you know little of. Well you know what they assumptions

That is true. It's hard for me to back down from anything. Ever now and then I need to remind myself some things are not worth it.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
