It absolutely makes NO freaking sense to me... **MY RANT**



Recommended Posts

Another rant about "stupid and uneducated" users? Really? Doesn't it get a bit old already?

I don't know who you are quoting there, but it isn't about stupidity or lack of education. It's about digging one's heels in and screaming, "I don't want to make any changes. I refuse to make changes. I'll hate anyone who suggests that I make changes, whether it's someone in BP or my surgery practice." If my allotted time weren't up, I'd spell it out further.

I heard all that 5 years ago and it's still a hot topic. I just think if people want to do that to their body then let them. In 6 months they will have lost 5lbs and their drs will be ticked off and they will be in tears wondering why. I stayed on my diet program 100% until I was 1 year out and was getting too thin. BUT (big but here) I slowly started eating a bite of bread here, some ice cream there and about 2 years ago I started gaining again so here I am re-affirming my intentions to get that 25 lbs off before it brings 10 more friends and so on. I've gone up a size and that was all it took for me to realize I needed to get back on plan. If you don't start out on plan you will never get the weight off to even know how great you can look..

I'm so glad I found the rant and raves section of this forum. :) I hope to be able to post my own rant or rave eventually.

Shocking @@Lipstick you start a thread in the "Rant and Rave" and you are accused of drama.... Why are people who hate drama reading the rant and raves in the first place ??? Isn't this what it is for? When they saw you started it why did they not stop reading immediately? Nope they couldn't stop themselves they had to read it.... And comment???

But this thread had zero drama except one ugly post and another girl screaming drama. Ha! So funny.

It seems as if, for the most part, people agreed with my rant.

I guess we are only allowed to rant that there needs to be more raves.

I rave in here quite often! :D My haters never show up for those. ;)

Ptish-tosh. You'll be criticized for something or other, so why wait? Make something up now and get the inevitable over with. It's the bariatric version of "lie back and think of England."

I love the ones who "like" a post in a rant topic and then go elsewhere to post criticism of the topic. It's either a comprehension deficit or wanting to be all things to all people or both.

This is a drama-free zone except for the eyes of some beholders. (Sorry, I can't get this extra header out of the way.)

@@cbonet No one was ridiculed in the posts this week and it was the same old crap - cheerleaders for doing what you want rather than following your Drs orders.

you don't find this sort of a thread to be ridiculing in and of it's self?

Wow.....Clearly I have not been on as much lately because I missed all the fun. I could not help myself, I read every post.

But then again, it is always entertaining to see the responses to a rant. If you dont want drama stay the hell out of the rants and raves section. LOL

Thanks Lipstick for making it interesting!

Oddly enough, there was no "drama" intended nor was there actual "drama" occurring despite the flaccid attempts by a few who are constantly on the lookout to point fingers (usually at me). :D

Despite their efforts, it appears that many share my opinion that taking accountability for your own efforts is key.

Well, she was accused of having her niceness removed with her stomach in another post. ( Or some such variation of what I just said- you get the point.

Oh my gawd. I seriously laughed out loud at that one. (Hypocrite much?!). I might have even peed a drop.

I seriously love people.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
