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).

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
