TheOldMeAgain

Sweets! My sister have cupcakes, my favorite ice cream Cookies N Cream, donuts and candy everywhere. Not once have I've been tempted! It's really amazing especially since my cycle is tomorrow. My cravings get out of control around that time and I be PMSing hard! I use to eat two huge symphony bars back to back and have a stash of heath bars and nutty buddy bars. It sustained me until my cycle was over. Now I don't give all these goodies a second glance. Hope it stays this way FOREVER! Now if I can only feel that way about carbs, mostly mashed potatoes and Mac n Cheese...

I Know this is not supportive and will make a few people upset. But it's My Rant & Rave.

This is not aimed at those experiencing complications from surgery. It's about people that REGRET surgery after a few days or weeks of the going getting tough. Did they research WLS?! Or how how read the many stories on this site about others experiences after surgery? No one said it was going to be easy. Feeling nauseous, vomiting, no energy, not being able to get in all your liquids and Proteins is pretty common. That is no true reason to REGRET this life saving procedure!

Yes I do understand the emotional effects surgery can have on you with your hormones being out of whack. Still not a excuse. I was prepared for all these things. In the hospital I had a few issues with the nursing staff where my pain medication was withheld from me. I was in pain for hours crying, had to call my sister to come to the hospital in the middle of the night. Not ONCE did I wish I didn't have the surgery. I knew soon or later my pain would be managed! And that's the whole point. It will get better. You can't whine and regret things because your experiencing a rough time. Life is like that too.

So UNLESS your have a serious life altering complication SUCK IT UP!!! You knew the possible side effects...

Yea they don't want to get get it. It offends their sensibilities that someone not a "vet" dare give such an opinion. This is a major surgery. It's one thing to talk about what your going through but the whining to the point of regret? I'm going to keep on saying it.... Maybe they weren't prepared enough.

I'm not bother by those that post their bad experiences. Just those that regret having surgery because a few bad days that will get better. Please rant and rave. Best wishes for surgery tomorrow and a amazing recovery.

wow this is getting funny RJS beginning u r awesome but i am no ones side kick and while you are trolling please go thru my threads and you will see i have never talked to Theoldmeagain until yesterday on her thread. I realize you are a (BariatricPal Host) i do not need food police but thank you for your concern I am sure Kindle can speak for her self so I am not going to assume one way or another what she was trying to accomplish it is a social website for us to comment on right?

I wanted to do a rant because it bother me and this site provides a forum for it. No different than vets ranting about newbies freaking out over stalls or not losing any weight after a few days or wks. It's an outlet. Nothing more nothing less.

I completely agree with you. It's ok if someone want to disagree with your rant. But nope, they tell you that your opinion is wrong. It's not the rant it's the poster of the rant. I've been through this a few times. When certain posters weight in their friends join in. If you've been around long enough might have see the pattern. That's when it takes a turn and not in a good way.

Throw whatever offensive remarks you can at me. What offends one may not offend another. I don't cry "foul". I respond in kind. If I replaced Whine with Bored I bet someone would find that offensive. Actually there is a Rant about being bored with the lack of Originality on this site. I'm going to guess that popular author didn't meet with any offended posters. Better choose my words more careful next time.

Hi Valarie best wishes for your upcoming surgery. Even though I'm ranting about something I find annoying I'm usually a very supportive person. We all have things that we just have to get off our chest.

My rant is, it's too bad we aren't allowed to rant and rave in the Rants and Raves forum. It should be called the "Rants and Raves, But Only If It's Warm and Fuzzy and Don't You Dare Post What You Are Really Feeling or You Will Get Personally Insulted" forum.

On two accounts you don't know what your talking about. First you got the wrong poster. Second don't assume about a situation you know little of. Well you know what they assumptions

Next up... food porn and beating with sticks.

Hypocrisy at its finest. I've seen a couple posters in this thread come down on other posters for eating the wrong foods. But I guess it's different because they're "concerned" and "tough love" is needed. Sure as long as it's not an issue they're dealing with or dealt with in the past.

Yes you would think I was talking to them personally. Maybe they don't know what section they're in.
