You people on this site...



Recommended Posts

Well, you are all just awesome. I have been on countless "diet" websites before and they are just awful (MFP is the worst). So many clique's and people who act like they're better than you. I have never before experienced an online environment that is so welcoming. Even when people disagree, they usually don't get catty or ugly. I think that speaks volumes to the nature of people on here. So, "thanks" to all of you. It gives me a warm fuzzy as I look forward to surgery knowing that you'll all be there for me, just like you are for everyone else.

There are awesome people and trolls on every site! I've found the WLS related forums on MFP to be GREAT! The general forums on MFP... Yeah. Best not to mention surgery there unless you want to get beat up. Lots of uninformed opinions out there!

Yes, best of luck! We are all on the journey together, just at different points on the path. This group is very kind, supportive, and welcoming... Just what is needed when facing this decision and surgery. Knowing so many others succeeded and don't look back was so helpful to me. God bless you as you start this new chapter!

This is a great group! My experience with online groups is they are full of trolls and unicorns. I have a 10 month old baby, and am the women on the baby board, at least in the Dec 13 group..are nasty. I have seen some nasty things go down. It's so sad. I love how helpful, and compassionate everyone is on here. :)

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
