I've noticed some people become diet experts after THEIR surgery. Often I see comments about how YOU should eat because that's what works for THEM. You have to do what works for you and don't let others dictate or make you feel inferior because the way you choose to lose your weight. This is YOUR journey not theirs. There is a fine line that people sometimes cross when giving advice that crosses over to being condescending. So if eating clean all the time is your thing, go for it , or if you choose to "eat in moderation" because your a big girl/boy and can add a "treat" into your macros and be accountable at the same time go for it. DO YOU!

emotionally unstable and fragile group of individuals. You have to give your advice very carefully and sometimes that means not giving advice at all.

Why should anyone here censor their experience or advice?

This is how I feel about this site - We are adults. Take what’s useful and ignore the rest. All opinions and experiences are of value to me. Even if it’s something I don’t agree with. Some people are way too sensitive and offended by such small issues on this board. If you are one of these people offended then--- don’t read it, look away or block them.

I am from a different generation. I have thick skin. It takes a lot to offend me.
