Oh okay, a bashing fest where we are supposed to go to get support. I'm raying she doesn't see this. The majority of you here - on this post - are incredibly rude.

It's OK. Thank you. I had ppl private message me yesterday also. The thing is a lot of the vets have been on here for so long they are black and white and some have forgotten how hard it was in the beginning. I have to believe they mean well. Thank you!!

I read it all. It's fine everyone needs something to laugh at. I apologized this am. If people are still making fun of me it's fine... I had a really bad day yesterday if it brings humor, name-calling so be it. I learned a lot from it all. It is supposed to be supportive I agree.

Don't hesitate to vent on your journey..this process is hard for ALL of us..some handled it different but it doesn't make them better..I'm sure we all tried something we shouldn't have during our process ..no matter where in the process we are..some just in the closet with it..Best of luck to you..and keep on BP to read the answers you seek..

I had no idea what bugle was, apart from the obvious.

Learnt that these were chips; well, learn something new every day :D

Now I have to check the junk food aisle in my supermarket here .....

No name calling (except for myself :P ), no links to a thread, .......

Wow really? How is this post or most of the replies ok at all? You people should be ashamed of yourselves for making fun of another member. A person who is obviously new and was not given the information she should have been given. Instead of helping her you shame her? Bullying is not humor and it is not ok.

It's amusing to me at this point. I mean we are adults. ;) There is a difference between making fun of someone and humor. I apologized yet some people are still going...worse yet the OP was made after my apology.... I am ok. I have had huge support and several DMs. I appreciate the support and the people that get it. I went to Dr today and they set me up with everything I need. I went on this site for help because I didn't have the information. If people turn it into negative feedback then it's their issue. We all wish and hope for success. There will always be the people out there excited for an argument or are the experts that make you feel stupif. I am excited for my journey!! Thanks for the support!!!

Why do people keep coming to RANTS AND RAVES to complain about how rude we are?

WTF are we supposed to do when just about EVERYDAY some one who knows damn well they are supposed to be on liquids goes on line hoping to get permission from non medically trained STRANGERS to eat bacon, nachos, sausage, Swedish fish, spam and God only knows what else?

Beagles aren't Kosher. Bugles barely qualify as food.

I just can't with people really.

I am not by any stretch of the imagination a vet. I'm not even four months out yet and I struggle everyday to do right by my new normal - especially since, as they say, they did surgery on my stomach, not my brain.

However no one out there can possibly think for a second that eating any kind of chip during such a drastic attempt at weight loss is advisable.

This isn't joining weight watchers and going for an evening walk - this is committing to an extensive process of evaluation and undertaking major surgery.

I'll support people who want to lament the mental and emotional difficulties of wls. I'll support people dealing with side effects or unexpected lifestyle changes as a result of wls. Ill support people who hit road blocks. I'll Celebrate with people who are finding joy on the journey.

But if your eating the same crap that got you into this mess that soon after surgery you should just expect to get roasted. I don't really care what info you had or didn't have - some things are just common sense.

Pull yourself together and get with the program.

Ironically I didn't even respond to the original thread - but I saw an opportunity - as the proud owner of a meaty looking beagle for some levity and I grabbed on.

Perhaps my comment about the crunch was a little too much - but then occasionally I can be a little snarkier than I plan to be.

I'm not proud of that - I'll discuss it with my conscience later.

Different time changes for few of us, hence we can't all know about "the latest post, etc"

As I mentioned earlier, I was puzzled about bugles, not sure if we have it here in Australia.

At first I thought: "bagels", this reminded me of beagles that I adore, as well as pugs.

I am sorry if a certain poster or two feel offended, this was NOT Personal !!!

So, for goodness sake, have a bugle, bagel, beagle, whatever

and listen to the Buggles:

And to all the hangry people, put a smile on your dial, not everything is about you.

As for being called a "BULLY", I choose not to be offended.

Feel free to read all of my 1,000 plus posts and find one that I was "bullying" someone, especially a newbie ...

This anger defies logic. This is why most of the great people here are leaving or left already.

BP will be run by Newbies full of non-experience and lousy advice.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Same here... I never saw the post from the newbie, this post wasn't about a newbies question. But rather about the OP observation of how a bugle if it was spelled correctly, would be on the diet plan. And then her following thought processes as she was unfamiliar with the snack food Bugles.

It was hilarious until it was sidetracked by people saying it was rude and mean etc. I am thinking to myself, how in the world is this mean and rude? Then someone comes along and has to knock our building blocks over and link this thread to another thread.

People If we can't laugh at the mundane and inane we create a generation of people that are requiring "safe spaces". Oh wait to late. The only safe space is the play pen at your Mama's, if you can't handle the real world, go back to that while those of us that have figured out how to survive in a "mean" world continue to get the joke about words and the hilarity that the lack of knowledge can cause.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
