If we could block people I would end up with about ten people. Lipstick Lady would be our supreme leader and Babbs would wear a crown. I agree the site was not designed to be mean spirited but I believe just as passionately that it was never intended to facilitate the level of coddling and enabling that far outnumbers the criticism. It's fine though. The success rate is low and I intend to follow the plan. Eat shrimp and drink alcohol at day 23- you'll survive. You won't get my support or sympathy but you'll find plenty from others here.

As a total noob, I appreciate you vets yelling at people for being morons - God bless you for your eternal patience! BariatricPal App

Girl, I don't yell at people nor would I call anyone a moron whether they deserve it or not.

Well, in my honest opinion you bloody well should. I hardly need to explain my reasoning to anyone on this site with half a brain!

Well, they see it as yelling, and any one with an ounce of sense thinks they're being a moron...

Let's call it late night hyperbole fail - most of you vets have *infinite* patience. I have almost exactly none.

I had shrimp and wine last night. But I am further out than the criterion expressed. .

Has the Mrs. returned yet? Was the wine drank from a solo cup? Lol

Haha, I'm not that far gone. I was using a small coffee cup. She's not due back for a little while. It's kind of boring around here without her.

And what's wrong with a red solo cup? They are a staple here in TX. I've had my fair share of alcohol from them over the years, but wine deserves a glass!

@@suzzzzz Nothing at all. I could tell stories, but it would tarnish my lily white reputation. My coffee cup was made of glass. Besides, if I filled a red Solo cup up with wine, it might not be a good idea. We used to observe a phenomenon on a board where I was a moderator which we termed "posting while drunk". I would hate to get into that.

Little Bill I have such a crush on you! Love how you talk about Mrs Little Bill! Thanks for being part of what I can enjoy on BP!

From an earlier post littleBill said while the Mrs. was gone he was only doing plastic and paper cups, plates etc.

Nothing wrong with red solo cups. Have them myself

Ah, yes, but you forgot to remember, I am in charge! I make the rules, I BREAK the rules! Bwahahahaha!

I'm not a moderator there, but I lurk on a board where the term is "PWP" - "Posting While Plastered." Makes for some very interesting posts!

Wait....is shrimp not okay?

This is a response to a thread started about someone's first real meal 23 days after surgery containing fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, creamy shrimp pasta, rice and an alcoholic beverage.

That's what I call a "bait post". She knew exactly what kind of response she was going to get....

I don't get why anyone would be upset at what someone else ate! We are all adults, all have been obese, all ate too much of what we shouldn't of, and all hated being told what we shouldn't eat.

The issue isn't so much eating food that might be detrimental to your weight loss, but rather eating food that could cause serious and immediate health problems because of a healing stomach. To a certain extent, it is entirely the responsibility of the individual. But beyond that, others who may not have received a proper education as to how and what to eat immediately post op may see something like this, figure it's okay, and then do damage to themselves while thinking they were safe.

So yeah, if someone is determined to eat something they shouldn't, it's on them. But if they are leading others astray, that becomes a different issue. Besides, if you are going to do something stupid, and then post about it on the internet, you should not be surprised when you receive criticism or worse for it.

Speaking for myself, it makes me upset because they are posting about it for sympathy or support. I don't want to be part of someone's bad behavior and certainly don't enjoy watching others enable each other's bad choices. There are so many people on here struggling with a lack of support from family who think they shouldn't have/need surgery, worried about complications or failure. People like OP are the stereotype of wls failure. They make it harder for others.
