People must've been really mean to you for you to be so unnecessarily rude.

I absolutely understand. Did you get your work situation figured out? Talk to your doctor? I hope you get to do whats best for you and heal swiftly! I'm rooting for you.

Because you can get surgery to loose weight but it's no guarantee that it will fix a jerk.

mean?

when one makes a new thread on this forum, people take time out of their day to read your story. i have read what she wrote 3 times in order to try to decipher what she is trying to say. i shouldn't have to do that. no one should. in my opinion, THAT is what's rude. and it's everywhere on this website.

people should pretend as if they received a basic education and use proper english so we, as a culture and society, can communicate with one another more easily.

won't help you in life to become skinny if you still sound stupid.

No one asks for you to take your time out of the day to read their story. In fact, feel free to block me so that we can stop any issue now or in the future.

The degree to which one should or shouldn't have to put up with something on this forum is not a finite answer. For instance, with regards to basic education, we learned early on to capitalize the first word of sentences. It sends the message that another phrase is beginning and when proper English was omitted from your response, your communication became cumbersome. However, my basic education has also taught me context so you don't have to worry as I understood you as I also understood the OP. :)

nice try, tootsie. but it's generally accepted stylistic practice for informal online purposes to not capitalize the first letter of every sentence.

and FYI - you should look up the real reason the first letter of every sentence became capitalized in literature many centuries ago. hint: it has nothing to do with "sending a message that another phrase is beginning". (but i am very impressed at your ability to pull official-sounding bullsh*t out of your ass, really)

How adorable, a pissing contest over bragging rights for "likes". Hey, you gotta take 'em where you can get 'em. lol

And I think we all forgot the purpose behind this thread? OP was looking for encouragement and help, can we get back to that please?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
