I've noticed a annoying little trend going on where someone asks for advice, or posts that they're down in the dumps for some reason or another- and they instantly get RIPPED! I thought we were all here for the same reason-to get support. We all have/had a common ground being that we are/were overweight and decided to do something about it. That decision does not mean that all our struggles go away miraculously. The people that struggle with food will still struggle with food. People that struggle with exercise will still struggle with exercise, and so forth. There really is no need to get all "you're going to DIE!" or "you're going to fail!" just because someone states they're hungry or want something not so healthy. I get that some people need tough love, but who says you have to be the one to give it to them? Especially if you're going to be a total b@$ch with it. I'm just saying there is a way to do and say everything. Remember your own journey. There was once a time where you were not so healthy or had it all together too. Vent over.

It's you. It's ALL you.

I was just told I'm mean by someone I was trying to help. *sigh*

Every day I see posts here that, were I so inclined, could give me concussions just from slapping my forehead.

Just saw one where a newbie (6 weeks post-op?) was proud of using Wheat Thins to scoop up party dip.

The amount of typing I'd need to do to explain why, from my perspective, Wheat Thins don't make sense as part of a WLS patient's menu 6 weeks out or 6 months out or even ever IMHO would frustrate me, piss off the newbie, and generate three new threads on why vets are so mean to newbies.

Here's how I see it: Everyone won't be successful at WLS long-term. I think the successful ones figure it out one way or another. And those who aren't successful will f**k it up no matter what others do to try and save them.

I used warm slightly under baked toll house coookies to scoop up chocolate fudge icing during my soft food stage. There were no nuts in the cookies so that was ok, right?

No! Of course not!! What were you thinking?!?

Everyone knows it's dangerous to eat under baked cookie dough! You want salmonella or something?

@@LipstickLady It is ok as long as everything was high protein, low carb!! LOL!

Holy crapola, folks. I dropped out of this topic a couple three day ago and. Just noticed that the message count had surpassed 50, so I say to myself, "Sweetie, take a look just to keep abreast." And what do I find? A passel of Amazons, each minus a breast, prepared for battle. This thread is a blood bath, much of it greatly amusing, but cause for chagrin all the same.

At least I can say that I never did any of this. I just applied the cookies and icing directly to my hips. Go for the gusto! -- that's my mantra.

Yes, just as long as you don't drink your melted ice cream liquid 15 minutes before or 30 minutes after.

Whoa, hold the phone. If it's melted, it isn't ice cream. It counts as Soup.

(I just saw your screen name and, lo!, light. Yours may be first rebus I've seen since I was a wee thing.)

Silly boy. Ice cream makes me dump.

I did hold off on the margaritas for about 15 minutes, though.
