Thank you guys for for the concern. Makes me feel like I do have a support team here on my phone.

I'm not supposed to be eating. And I know that but I find it hard not to. I'm eating pretty much whatever.

So basically you decided that ignoring your doctor's instructions and eating a week after major surgery is OK and you came here to find people who agree? Great.

Your insurance paid for this surgery because you are morbidly obese. If you can't follow simple medical instructions to prevent serious post operative problems I m not going to waste my time on you.

But, before I BLOCK you, unless you are well bent on killing yourself I suggest you get some psychiatric counseling ASAP.

So I understand people telling me that what I have done is not right and I need to stop and do right and I apperciate that. But I didn't get on here to be talked to rudely and be judged. So in words of my mamaw if you ain't got nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. ☺. I have done nothing to offend.

Gustavo, thanks so much for your compassionate and thoughtful response to my post. I can see why YOU are so very superior to me in every way.

If you had bothered to read the whole thread you would have seen that this was not my first post to this attention seeking drama queen. But why do that instead of jumping all over my a**?

Maybe we should all be kind and encouraging when someone is actively trying to kill themselves? That would be SO HELPFUL.

You enjoy your holidays...Notice how I didn't say "merry Christmas"? That's because I'm not so self centered that I think that everyone celebrates Christmas.

Oh Lipstick Lady...if only I had seen ur post before I posted. Now I have to fell shi**y about not being "nice" and taking the bare. Damn.

Now if I really want to get the Mary Poppins "politeness" squad on my butt I should go an mention this post in "rants and raves".

First of all, there is a nice way to say something and get your point across and an ignorant way. You may or may not learn that in life. For your sake, I hope that you do. Second of all, where in here did I say I was superior? Again, you are creating your own scenarios. You were saying you posted more than once if I had "read the entire post" well I did read it all and I'm wondering what set you off since nobody responded to your initial comment? Lol

You were sleeved recently I see, perhaps you are hangry? (Hangry=hungry+angry)

Whatever the case may be, it doesn't make it right. We are all going through the same thing and all looking for advice. There is no need for hatefulness. Not to mention, the ignorant responses aren't going to teach someone anything. The only drama I seen came from your end??!! I will not respond to you again. Your behavior is absurd.

Oh and I won't even respond to the merry Christmas thing! Come on, don't be petty

Sorry I am NEVER hateful and my initial intention was to help.

As for you and your seemingly desperate attempt to "educate" me. I have a life and can't get all bogged down with your OPINIONS. Move on

Thanks again for trying to "educate me. But I have a life and all and your drivel has become tiresome. Move on.

I think this person is fake guys! No info on the profile? Look im 6 days post opp & if anyone is having a hard time withe the 2 wk liquid post opp diet (followed by 2 wk soft foods) its me!!! But bcuz my dr. Is im Mexico, i cant play with this, at times i feel like im going insane ive been so hungery!T his person seems to hv given up before he or she left the operating table! Im a social media celebrity & i know all about fake profiles, some one could be play with us while we are taking time to type our heartfelt concerns.... think about it, you cant even physically sip the liquids b4 a few days , but this person says they been eating everything in less than a week? Dont sound right but, ok ... as you can see im hangry & have no sympathy

I almost feel like this post is a joke! Who would put themselves through this traumatizing surgery and then risk their life by not following Dr's orders??? Serious medical issues can result in eating food too quickly: leak, tears, hemorrhage, etc. Is risking your life really worth a few bites of food? Why on earth did you get this surgery? You need to contact your surgeon ASAP and inform him/her on what you are doing to yourself.

Agreed!

Huh?

Don't drag me into this one, please! I'm don't do name calling and personal attacks? Nope. Debate the subject not the people.

@@cantstop87 You would feel pain if a stitch busted open. But please be aware that is a very real possibility and it is exactly why we have a diet progression to stick to. Liquids...then pureed...then soft foods for WEEKS.

I am sure you were given a plan. Please read it and stick to it. 99% of the success of this surgery is your mental fortitude. If you can't do it on your own, then you need to contact someone with your team ASAP. I would contact them anyway and let them know how far off plan you have strayed as they will likely want to check you out ASAP.

I hope it is a joke this very dangerous.... @@cantstop87 you really need to call your psychologist asap!

For the sake of argument if it is not fake this person needs a serious wake up call. Giving them the snowflake treatment accomplish nothing
