Does Trump have any cabinet position available? I think we might have a candidate.

It is post #10 and creepy!! It is quoted in post 20 if you want a screen shot. If I were Alex's attorney I would advised him to remove it and deny he ever posted it.

I plan on posting in till Alex delete my account.

Things have gone from bad to nurse! At least three nurses left in the past 24 hours.

The snowflakes have taken over BP so beware of any advice you get from now on as the educated people who care about your safety and well being are being banned or leaving of their own accord and the "don't worry, I ate pork chops two days post op and I am fine" nutters are now in charge. Many of us are joining Obesity Help and have asked Alex to delete out Bp accounts and he has refused ( higher membership= higher revenue) I intend to stay and post until Alex delete my account or explains how I can delete it. If you have been feeling "unsafe here due to the childish rants and threats made by snowflake in response to "controversial" comments, for example saying that "people who have had good preoperative education lose more weight and keep it off better than those who did not get it" .(..yep, I got redeemed for that one! ) come to Obesity Help.

Be careful not to make anyone feel "unsafe" with controversial issues like this or you will be banned.

How do I deleted my account. Logging off just won't sufice.

I see "likes" for the pro banning folks that are also on my BLOCKED (precious snowflakes) list. Remember those names and DO NOT take advice from them and remember that Alex can read your "private" messages you should be fine.

$o the whining snowflake$ whined to their $urgeons... it'$ clear that YOU did not review their post$ before you made your decision. I would bet money that at lea$t a few of the complainer$ are on my BLOCKED list. Bariatric Pal is no longer a SAFE PLACE for me. I have been stalked by this gang of thin skinned snowflakes (you can check my list of BLOCKED members) who regularly pick fights and generally behave like deranged 7th graders. I do wonder how all those surgeons and psychologist and nutritionist (from your Mexican WLS center?) will react when someone keeps right on eating corn on the cob and ribs 3 days post op because some idiot on this site told them "don't worry, we all make mistakes" and there is no one here to speak up and call bullshit. It makes sense that you will not delete our accounts, after all you don't want your membership numbers to drop. I will delete my own account. But I am serious that YOU need to stop sharing my email address with your cronies.

A "safe place" for reckless idiots who consistently give each other bad advice....brilliant concept. But if you where halfway honest with your self you would admit the obvious, the intention of this group is to funnel new customers into business run buy you and your friends. Please remove me from this site and from all your lists as I am sick of the spam email that started right when I joined BP.

I have a couple of republicans and at least one Trump supporter friend on face book. I get links to the stuff they post so I think i stay better informed. For example I read on a right of center feed that 1/3 of conservatives didn't know that the Affordable Care Act (they are for it) and "Obama care" (they are against it) are the same thing. Seriously.

I hit 40 pounds lost yesterday and lost another 3 1/2 pounds today. Not "instant" but closer to instant that I ever thought possible!

Before I even say this I know it's REALLY messed up so no one has to point it out to me. I have the usually reaction to very obese, compassion, pity, sadness etc but if I look deep down I am very judgmental and also a little grossed out. And, yes, I realize that people might view me the same way.

I feel for you. I never give advice unless I am sure it's correct and will hold up to fact checking but there are people who are compelled to argue with me and often even insult me. Since their social development ended in 7th grade, they tend to post in groups. One chimes in and the rest "like" the post and offer their own post. You did good. Be proud of it. Don't ever let other people's selfishness, insecurity or drama get to you.

I have noticed that a group of (_____ ______) have banded together and turned into a giant drama blizzard. They are know to be stalkers and they often jump all over anyone who offends their delicate constitution. I have a serious drama queen aversion so I block them for my own wellbeing but I do see their names in as "likes" just about every time certain members dare to post OBVIOUS TRUTHS. Followed by lost of ignorance, accusations and name calling in response to what anyone with an ounce of snse would see as GOOD ADVICE. Wish I could block

Your advice is excellent but you can't stretch a gastric sleeve.

You do seem to be eating a lot of carbs. Those low/no nutrition Snacks can trigger head hunger leading you to want the next meal. It's a vicious cycle. Don't make a big thing of it. Take a step (or two) back to eating the combination of carbs and Protein you where eating when you were steadily loseing weight for a week. Then try for another week. I go to OA and find it helpful.

By "family member" do you mean a member of your own household?

Wanting what I want the second I want it is the main reason I am fat in the first place.

I admit to be somewhat "forthright" with my opinions and even to being outright aggressive when I comment on bad or dangerous advice. My co workers say I have an extreme bullsh*t allergy. Over my short time here I am getting a feel for the difference between a person who want validation for their behavior and one that is fielding opinions and ideas. I now pass on threads that I might have posted on just a month ago. I have also noticed that the snowflakes tend to stick together, often creating a giant blizzard of drama. But I learned not to call a precious snowflake a snowflake. No matter what, not ever. And more important, to avoid a flair of my BS allergy, learned how to use the block feature.

Because STATICALLY a person my weight and age would lose 80 pounds over an 18 month period my Dr really encouraged me to have a VSG or DS because due to years of (mostly "successful" yoyo dieting my body had learned to hold on too every ounce of fat. In the end, I decided I would NOT be a statistic and had the gastric sleeve, lots of reasons but mainly because it wouldn't alter my anatomy as extremely. The other reason was that despite what you might read on the internet, the sleeve doesn't stretch. As you have already learned you can eat around it and if you do you will gain weight. You are extremely overweight, I can see why a Dr would encourage another surgery because you really need to loose weight now. But what happens in 6 months? In a year? People regain their weight after DS surgery too. On the other hand you already have a functioning weight loss tool that you can start using immediately if you are motivated to lose weight and save your life. If it were me I would go back to square one with the sleeve you already have instead of having another major surgery. And, at the same time, get some treatment for your underlying eating disorder.

High protein, 1400 calorie.

How I figured it out was by (too) often having one bite to many. I run out of stomach and that last bite sits in my lower esophagus for a while. Doesn't feel good, sometimes I get reflux with what would have been a normal burp. At that point I was weighing my food. My solution was to cut back a few grams and it usually worked. I'm 11 week post surgery and at this point my body has learned to respond to feeling, not exactly pre surgery "full", just that I should done eating.

Scopolamine patch...darn spell check!

If your still stuffy on your surgery day, tell the anesthesiologist and ask for something to dry you out. I have allergies and always ask for this. A dopamine patch for nausea is also something he/she can do. I got one before my WLS, I think it lasted 48 hours.
