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

[Babbs 14,680]

Really the only time I give a rats patootie anymore about what someone is eating post op is when they are early out and can actually injure themselves. Yeah, I'm going to say something whether they like it or not just to try to make them understand that bodily injury can occur before they're fully healed.

Otherwise, have at it. Eat whatever you want if it works for you. And if it doesn't, then who am I to tell someone they weren't ready for the surgery? I'm sure they themselves already know.

Me? I was ready. And I'm totally willing to throw a little advice someone's way if they show they are, too. Usually the ones who can take a little constructive criticism, are thirsty for knowledge, don't think they already know it all (because who does?), and open to different advice without getting completely defensive are the ones who are ready for the changes that need to happen with the surgery. They don't want validation, just information.

@@Lipstick I have learned so much from you on this journey and though I am not vocal myself you daily give wise advice! Same goes for many of the vets. I am frankly tired of everyone that picks on the vets! It is getting ridiculous! Then they Accuse them of being bullies when they give sound advice. Keep doing what your doing and ignore the haters!

Well said @@LipstickLady

Well freakin' said.

Too bad the surgeons can't remove our stupid when they are taking our most of our stomachs, lol.

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.)

Me, personally? I think I DID have some of my "stupid" taken out with my stomach...I'm seeing the world a HELL of a lot more clearly now...

Your notification preferences are in your settings. It seems to default to email for almost everything. You have to go in and uncheck all those boxes under email.

There are a ton of people that post here that lost a ton of weight really fast because they were basically on a prisoner of war diet and they starved for weeks/months. Long term that is going to do them more damage than good, so yeah its awesome they lost 100 pounds in 4 months or whatever, but they aren't telling they went through to get there, just that they got there.

LOL. I lost 102 lbs in the first 4 months. But just for the record, I did it being 99.99% compliant with my doctors instructions (ok, so I did have a couple of potatoes chips once or twice). I wouldn't consider it a "prisoner of war" diet. But your comment did make me laugh.

You are a MAN though. You guys wake up from surgery down 30lbs and feeling great!
