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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
