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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
