It seems that an individual decided to report my beach photo post from this morning about exercising/loving who you are now in this moment, and living life to the fullest and actively and joyfully as possible pre-surgery.

It makes me angry when people get catty about positivity. Why be in a support group if you aren't going to share the wins, too?

Misery loves company, but I won't continue to participate if that's the way it is going to be here. Easy as that. ✌️

Anyone know if there is a way to delete your profile? There are plenty of likeminded individuals in social platforms.

No clue. I didn't think the post was offensive at all. But... everyone is fighting their own battles and you never know what ticks people off in their sensitivity stages.

Post was the opposite of offensive. I found it uplifting.

It's not that this will hinder progress at all, but throwing shade isn't cool—especially when they can do it anonymously without risk of a clap back.

Not seeing the ability to delete a profile (just recommendations on ghosting).

I don't understand how that can happen and people go have months and page long threads about their adventures with adultery.

I really liked your post and thought it was some needed positivity.

Please don't delete your account before I can PM you, lol.

:( I thought you looked fabulous. I liked your positivity. It was a good reminder that it's OK to like how you look at any size. Most of us are doing WLS for health, not beauty.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
