Stop trying to some higher ground - you were morbidly obese and put yourself through this dangerous procedure to save your life - now you treat everyone on here with questions or make mistakes with contempt? What a hypocrite!!!


Get real. You’re no better than anyone on here and if you were perfect you would never have needed the surgery. Get lost fool.

Yummy....

I've been here for over four years. You've been here for less than four weeks. It takes all kinds to make a message board. If someone isn't your "kind" take what you like and leave the rest. Yes even on a post you started because these posts live long after we are gone and new people and old alike continue to read them for years and learn from them. The tough love works for some and not others. It works for me so I am glad it exists here.

Dreamingsmall rubs some people the wrong way, some of us appreciate her. You can't possibly have read every post of hers, so don't lose credibility exaggerating. Let's just move on and block her if she's not your style.

She doesn't claim to be "better" than anyone just perhaps more experienced than some. I think that those who are further out can have more to share and more credibility in some of our eyes. But that's not to say anyone's any better, just perhaps have more experience to share.

And keeping a level head often means you get listened to more than if you curse and lose your temper too.

I hear what you are saying, that it's not about the Soup or pizza or even about you stepping off plan pre op. You are saying it's about Dreamingsmall's pattern and way of interacting. I just don't agree with you that she makes everyone mad every time, because I like and appreciate her.

One of these days, we are going to have to create a thread with the most entertaining arguments. That way we can binge on them while in jury duty or in an airport with a layover, etc. We can just add the title so that it is searchable. I ought to be ashamed of loving to read these things. I can't help it though. I grew up watching Jerry Springer, Ricky Lake and Maury.
Good stuff!





Sooo agree [emoji23] [emoji23]
We need that thread ASAP

And no, for those a bit slow, that’s not a gendered issue, most have just happened to leave because of her, some even this week.

Since I am the one who asked if you were making this a gender issue, I can only assume that you are insulating that I am slow. However, you explicitly said women 3 times in your post.

Other women have been bullied off the forum and accused of lying.

Other topics on here women are saying they are struggling with others eating around them or want to lick meatloaf. So I broke and actually did it -

Maybe my post would help them not to make the same mistake or maybe people will just stop being honest on here or ask questions because of the response I got and other women have got that have just left the forum.

Not "people" or "members" or even "guys"; you said women. Since you expressly excluded men, that sounds like a gender specific issue. Don't blame me for your poor communication skills.

You are making it very difficult for anyone to even want to help you.

Bahahahahaha! When did I ever say I wanted any of your belligerent help or suggest you were helping??? Have you still not understood that yet?

Nope, carry on, can’t understand why anyone would leave the forum??? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Just a quick question for the OP, why does your signature say you were sleeved 2/12/17?

I am assuming that she is from either Canada or the UK. She also gives her weight in kilograms. It is common for the date format to be day-month-year (dd-mm-yyyy)in those areas. It actually makes a lot more sense to have it that way. Here at work, I name my files with date stamps in yyyy-mm-dd format so that they sort properly.

So in this situation, her surgery date may be Dec 2nd 2017.

You can block dreamingsmall , I did for the same reasons. Basically it just hides her responses. PM me if you need help!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
