I hate it when people post just to post.....

Do you guys think I was out of line? I mean seriously...it seems like attention seeking. I thought I was clear, concise, etc. but then other readers responded like I was being mean. I guess I just don't understand what kind of response the OP is looking for and keeps searching for!

Just be careful about what you say posting after her, because it can start to seem like a few people are chasing her around the boards and giving her the smackdown. Even in a nice way, it can come off wrong. And if it's not HER thread, try not to hijack someone else's thread by putting the focus on her.

Hey, don't apologize to me! I couldn't care less, all I'm saying is that (and I think it's maybe a LITTLE bit funny) that EVERY time she posts here lately, someone (not just you!) quotes her and questions her motives. If it was me, I'd feel stalked. So far, though, she doesn't seem to have taken offense to any of it. Says something (to me, anyway) about her level of intelligence. Or at least self-awareness.

I'm sorry.
Nothing to be sorry about. You had very good, logical advice to give her. I think travelgirl is just trying to say that we need to try to ignore her posts as much as possible, because even though she seems to be looking for attention, too many of the same people giving it to her can send the wrong impression.

No worries Apples2, it really wasn't directed at anyone. Just a general thing I"ve noticed since like 2005. :cursing:

Exactly! For example: one of her replies to one of your (turler) posts was that you've been wonderful. I read your post over again, and while I don't think you were rude or disrespectful, I also didn't understand why she'd be so self-absorbed that she thought you were complimenting her or stroking her ego in any way....you were questioning her motives, and she truly just doesn't GET IT.

I would personally like to give thanks to anyone who has helped me over the last 15 months. Especially to Alex for giving us this wonderful place to get great information and have a place to come to bitch and complain at the same time.

Ditto. Alex has created a great resource for all of us.

do a quick thread search for How Did You Do It... (intro section)

:lol: :eek: :eek: :wub:

Christ. :lol: Hell, it's no freakin' wonder, considering who her surgeon is, though. The stupidity makes my head hurt.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
