I may be wrong but i doubt im the only one who has felt like you have a holier than thou attitude

No, you are not. That is why so many have her blocked. This was a fun topic and then... she started posting and most left. It's just not worth it.

Wasa put me on ignore simply because I don't agree with him. We are on total opposite ends of the spectrum. He is an atheist and I am a born again christian. At every chance he gets, he feels the need to tell people that there is no such thing as God, and I do the opposite. He didn't like that I spoke the truth to him, so he is like those Pharasees in the bible who tore their clothes and put their fingers in their ears when Jesus claimed to be God come in the flesh. They just didn't want to hear it. Wasa is like that. He just doesn't want to hear it. He only wants to hear what his itching ears want to hear, not the truth. It had nothing to do with my attitude, cause his attitude was the same, only the opposite belief as mine.

This holier than thou attitude that you feel I have is complete nonsense. I will be the first to tell anyone that I am a sinner and have not lived as I should before God. I am thankful to God for my salvation, because I know that I would be lost without him. There isn't a day that goes by where I am free from my faults. This holier than thou attitude you feel I have is because I am not one to mince words. I tell it like it is. There is no need to sugar coat what God has said. If people hate me, I just remember that God said, "If they hate and reject you, just remember that they hated and rejected me first."

I think i see the problem you cant look at what you have said objectively so any further discussion would be utterly pointless.

You are the type of person that has difficulty looking at the big picture of things and that is fine.

but as for this situation as hard as it is for me i will just have to wash my hands.:thumbup:

Uh....your particular God has failed to inform you (via the divine revelation that you are apparently privy to) that Wasa is not a "him".

HA! My avatar does make it a real head scratcher!

I have Patty on ignore because I find her rambling, closed minded attitude, and the inability to form an opinion without checking her bible first - beyond annoying. There are lots of people I don't agree with (seen my posts lately? Heh...) but there are only two I have blocked, patty and GadgetLady.

I find the better than thou, my way is the only way, you are allll wrong and I'm the only correct person tedious and belittling. When someone has nothing of value for me I find it a waste of their time to read their posts.

I gotta give you a hats off for being able to tolerate it.

I'm with you i remember the issues that gadget lady brought to my Obama threads.

i think the biggest problem with that attitude is that there is no room for people to live together in their scenario. It is that type of thinking that lead to atrocities such as the crusades, the genocides in Rwanda, Darfur, Kosovo, and other places. yes i have different beliefs and yes i think they are best... but i can force anyone to live a certain way without breaking the commandments that i live my life by. so we all have to learn now to live with each other dispite our differences and have intelegnt and respectful conversations and dialog about said issues.

Wasa is one to talk. She is the one who doesn't feel I have anything of value to say. She admits that and also says it wastes her time to read what I have to say. Who's the disrespectful one? Imagine if I said that I was wasting my time talking with her because she brings me nothing of value. What others have to say, whether they agree with your values and morals and way of thinking, can always bring something to the table. She is the one who is closeminded!

I get tired of people being cruel and insensitive to me and saying things about me that simply aren't true. I get tired of people like YOU calling me names and then feeling justified to do so. People who claim to be christians, yet act sooooooooo unchristlike. Who do you think you are trying to tell me that I am judgmental and give me advice about how to be a better witness for Christ and then turn around and call me a bit*h? People like Wasa and you should heed Jesus' advice about taking the plank out of their own eye before they try to remove a sliver from someone elses. This has nothing to do with being 10 (childish), it has everything to do with being kind. All I have ever done on this particular thread was answer some questions as I believe the bible has taught. You didn't like my answers or something? I am done with you. I give you to God. BTW, I'm waiting for your apology.:thumbup: .........yeah right. I didn't think so. You call someone a bit*ch and justify it. Some Christian.

Patty, Patty, Patty;

Please take my advice.

Go see the Doctor who does your fills.

Ask him to remove a few cc's.

I do believe that your band is too tight....it appears to have cut off the blood supply to your brain.

And you're suggesting that ANY of this dialogue IS productive?

stay on the right path she will eventually come around

and even if she never does our integrity will be intact.

flat out poking fun never helps

The problem is with her attitude getting one in return probably wont help the situation.

no matter how good it feels.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
