Long story short even though i recently got sleeved. My dietician was impressed with my recovery and all of the changes i've made thus far. So she asked me to come speak at two of her pre-op diet classes and answer questions for other newbies, give them tips and so on. Needless to say the class actually went REALLY WELL. I felt like i helped a lot of people through there fears and put them at ease.

I posted a recap on another support group blog for those who missed the class and it was like crucified by overly sensitive literal IQ under 12 assholes. And i can't take it. I was only trying to help, which i did. WTF.

It was like they were all judging me for sharing MY own experiences. I don't know what to do. We all have ups and downs but damn don't get mad at me for having a few ups, aren't we supposed to help each other out???

I was most frustrated because the comments were all from people who didn't attend the class so they have no clue about what i was actually sharing or what questions got asked.

@@xoxococojay I will inbox you.

I think it was great information. Of course I had My sleeve about 36 hours ago so I'm questioning myself. I have heard for some (not all) that the pain/1st 3-4 days are the worst. Hopefully this is true. I was so ready to get right and be healthy for my kids and myself now it's sinking in...OMG I just had them cut out over half of my stomach?! Anyways got off track but I didn't find anything wrong or offensive in what you wrote. Maybe they wanted to teach the class & they were just jealous.

The pain will go away. Just make sure you're walking every hour so the gas pain moves. @@abaker04

What the -- what? Everything you wrote is lovely, affirmative, and positive. They're nuts! It's definitely not you.

Good on you for helping others! I bet you helped a majority of the folks who attended and gave helpful insight. Don't let the negative remarks of the other folks affect you or discourage you from being a leader. Alot of people listened to what you have to say and that is what matters. It can be healing and helpful for u too!

I thought this was going to be a post about hemorrhoids 8-)
