Do I need to pull out the butt hurt papers?! Don't make me pull out THE papers! Some of you will spend all night filling it out. ;)

If the AFC & NFC conference playoff games are boring this weekend, I'll pop some fat-free popcorn and read these columns instead. :)

BTW, I wouldn't think any less of anyone using a gofundme acct.. like others said, its up to the giver if they want to give. I've donated to some.. recently a friend whose dog needed emergency surgery.. I've been there.

Look people, this is the internet, It will never be confused with the Hague. It will never be a bastion of lovey dovey touchy feely crap. This is realism at its finest. If you are afraid of responses , tough. If you dont like someone, ignore them, Its a simple concept. We support each others weight loss here. Just because we dont support each other financially or have differing opinions has no bearing on whether or not we want someone to succeed. On the contrary, we want to help people succeed and in turn be helped to succeed ourselves.

If you have a problem with something someone said, take a step back and look into the mirror, chances are it is you who have the problem, not them. Unless you are being attacked as a person, in which case, fine. report them and be done with it.

God knows ive had my run-ins and arguments, and yes some people just know how to push my buttons, but those are MY buttons. So just get over yourself, this isn't Dr Phil and we aren't going to kiss each other and pick out matching china patterns any time soon. If you need help with your WLS, and you ask for it, you'll get it. If you ask for advice you will get it, whether you like the advice you get, is all on you.

@@Stevehud I'm in your camp! I have forged some good friendships here, and I have gotten lots of help when I was a newbie. Luckily I was a mature newbie and I didn't let anyone on the internet,(that I will likely never meet in real life) bother me. Opinions are just opinions. take them or leave them. But folks need to be careful with the name calling or insinuating that they have no compassion. They have lots of compassion!! It used to be called tough love. Of course, the "entitled" don't get that.

We became a P.C. society. There are many positive aspects of that, but sometimes, good old fashion "tough love" is needed instead (a hug afterwards is a nice follow-up).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
