SMH

I’m not a “vet” by any means but I’ve had a lot of success since my surgery and I’ve been on this site for a good 9 months. And I love being a part of this community. So I want to say this first, I posted in Rants & Raves for a reason....

- “I’m 5 day’s post op and it’s not working”. Miracles don’t happen overnight. The amount of people who think that they will wake up from surgery feeling amazing and all their problems solved. SMH
- “I haven’t lost anything in 3-4 months and I’m 6 months post op”. I’m all about helping but I hate when people post about how they aren’t loosing and then don’t offer any information on their diet, exercise, vitamin intake, ect. And half the time they drop off the face of the earth when you ask them.....SMH
- The pre-op diet sucks, that is all. SMH
-“I’m still hungry”. I hate that a common misconception that hunger is going to disappear. It doesn’t happen to everyone. But common sense would tell you that, liquids aren’t filling. Wait until you are on solids again to worry about your hunger levels. SMH

Ok I’m done! Thanks guys for letting me get that off my chest. Some days you just have to rant.

And PS. I know that people don’t always know the stuff I mentioned above, so when I’m not overly irritated by these gross misunderstandings about the process...I’m happy to help!

@Matt Z I have to give you credit, you answer just about every stall post with much more kindness than I could ever muster! :)

It takes a lot out of me each time it happens.

That's why you're losing so quickly...

I have a request in for tummy and thighs only :lol:

Oh no you don't want that... The sag is real...

I think the worst posts are the people who are obviously trolling... Who has that kind of time? Why not troll Facebook instead?

I don't know how I hadn't seen this thread earlier. I LOVE IT. It's funny but the rants are SO real. The thing that has been stated and as of late really gets me is the repetitiveness of the same topic/question over and over. Every answer you could have hoped for has already been covered in "Maggie's" post from 5 minutes ago. As well as, I must be in a stall I've only lost 2lbs a day in the last month....... So many / To many.

This is so true... My ass feels so weird now from the sagging. So much so that when I stated that at a party... I was asked to display said issue... I complied LOL

I am uncertain if there are enough glut exercises in the universe to correct my droopy saggy butt and thighs now. LOL. But hey, at least I can get said butt off the ground in a bridge now! I couldn't before. My thighs weren't long enough! BAHAHAHAAHA. Me=serious junk in the trunk (and not in a good way either)

Oh lordy, my inner thighs...If you just saw them... nothing else... you'd think I was 90 years old. Thankfully its just the top part by my va-jay and it is easily hidden by some boy shorts.
