Recommended Posts

I am a know it all. I know everything there is to know about every possible subject anyone could possibly think of.

Ha Ha Ha Ha....... Wouldn't that be nice! I wish I knew how to make fancy lettering and stuff.

I think that if you really have a problem with someone or certain people, then you should PM them solve it on a more mature basis rather than calling them out on a thread and seeing how many people you can get to "back you up"

It's passive aggressive bullshit. They don't have the balls to say what they mean, so they "poke" till someone bites, then cry about how mean the "know it all's" and "oldies" are.

Jachut--quit censoring yourself! LOL! Tell us what you REALLY think! :heh:

josiebies--What's the difference between a "know-it-all" vs. a "non-know-it-all"?

I deleted my response. It was very rude. Lol. Boy it felt good to type though.

I am glad you re posted it. And it was nowhere near as rude as the OP.

My question is: When is it a crime to be knowledgable?? I mean, I think everyone has a right to post their experiences and to me, I think it is a privledge to hear their tips to success. You can either take their advice/experiences or leave it. I mean, this forum has really helped me so very much about what to expect before, during and after the lap band procedure.....am I'm not even banded yet!!! LOL.

I would have to say that some people just can't take constructive criticism. There's nothing wrong with being pointed in the right direction. Obviously, it's NOT okay to eat a big piece of steak during the mushy period, or to puree Cookies, ice cream, and candy so you can make a delicious "healthy" shake. Um...hello??

I think all of the "oldies/know it alls" should keep doing what they're doing as far as sharing their experiences and giving the newbies advice. Results don't lie!!!!

I think that if you really have a problem with someone or certain people, then you should PM them solve it on a more mature basis rather than calling them out on a thread and seeing how many people you can get to "back you up"

I have to agree. Some people think that "support" is all about agreeing with whatever they are doing. It isn't. They want to hear "yes, what you are doing is just fine" and "you're right, that's the perfect plan, you'' be very successful." The plain fact is that there are certain things that bandsters shouldn't be doing, and it isn't "unsupportive" to point that out. People scream that they are being attacked when someone points out that they shouldn't be eating solids or an entire bag of candy or a quart of ice cream (when even they have said that they've jumped ahead in their diet). They scream attack when they ask people to give their input and someone gives input that they don't like.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Support isn't always about saying "yes, dear." It's about pointing out where people might be going wrong and trying to help them rectify the situation. And like it or not, the best people to do that are the "oldies" who have been around the block a time or two. Call them "know-it-alls" if you want. I personally call them inspiration. I sure as hell hope that if I suddenly start posting about how I eat nothing but junk food and don't exercise and that I'm wondering why I'm not losing weight, that they'll slap some sense into me. THAT is true support, not them telling me that I'm doing wonderfully and to keep doing what I'm doing.

Ahhhh Chickie, it truly is a sad sad world. On a side note, and maybe to some I might come off as "kissing ass" (LOL), but you look absolutly spectacular. I hope to one day have such success!!! Keep up the good work love! :(

Thank you! I am sure that you can do anything you set your mind to! Good luck.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
