I'm vegetarian and am wondering if there are other vegetarians or vegans out there? I've been working with a nutritionist to come up with a diet that includes the proper amount of protein and amino acids, while also being meat free. It would be great if there were others out there like me! Please forgive me if there's a way to search forums to see if this question has already been asked. I'm new here and still figuring things out. Transitioning from lapband to bypass on June 12! HW: 402, CW: 314, GW 185

An ellipsis should only have 3 dots or periods.

I’m not in the business of posting my legitimate private info online but feel free to contact the state of TN. Maybe they’ll point you in the right direction. Also, the ACA and APA both have a separate code of ethics. They are national, not state specific. Perhaps you could start there. I am a member of both organizations.

I find it interesting that you’re so concerned with my opinions but not at all concerned with those who have broken rules. Fear not, I’m in the process of reporting them, of course. But still... your hypocrisy is shining. By the way, I never said I practice in Memphis. However, I did just return from a conference there. The south isn’t really for me, so nah. Not Memphis. I strongly encourage you (dare you, really) to do your level best to report me to whatever governing board you can convince to listen to you. Of course, that would be none of them, as they couldn’t hear you over the sound of their own raucous laughter once they heard your ridiculous claims... but, I digress... Please, do your best. I want you to try. I really, really do. You are a geriatric, lonely person with little else to do than follow me around this forum. So it’s not at all surprising that you would latch onto someone like me who might give your meaningless life purpose for a day or two. Unfortunately for you, the fact remains that I will do as I please. Always. And there’s absolutely nothing that you can do about it. That must really annoy a know it all like yourself. If you’ll excuse me, I’m meeting someone at the movie theater shortly. However, feel free to reach out to whatever board you can find. Hint: the ethics board is not state specific. You should be able to file a complaint against me without knowing in which state(s) I practice. Good luck!

Not that I’m aware of. What difference does that make? Does this forum have different rules for different professions? No? Okay then. The cursing, threats and name calling are against the TOS regardless of profession. But nice try on attempting to excuse that rule breaking behavior whilst trying to condemn my non-rule breaking opinions. Lol Good luck, sweet pea.

My behavior is not unethical. I am entitled to my opinions just as anyone else. If you’re so concerned about the behavior of others, perhaps you should focus on the two people who are actually cursing me, telling me they hope I die, saying they hope I gain every pound back plus 50, calling me a cow, fat shaming, etc. Or doesn’t that fit the narrative you’re attempting to build here? Lol this is so funny. It truly is. Come on, tell me. How old are you really? I’m guessing 55+. Are you unaware that this is a public forum full of differing opinions and ideas? That you don’t get to control what others think, feel or believe just because it isn’t what you think, feel or believe? I will continue on with my opinions regardless of what you think. But enjoy the juvenile attempts at kindergarten style tattling. This was seriously the best post I’ve seen yet. Absolutely classic. Thank you.

Good god, you have got to be an extremely old person. Lol Yes, there’s a board of ethics. Does it apply outside of a professional setting? Nope. Not at all. So save the idiocy. Or... I suppose you could contact them yourself and let them tell you. Just be sure to let them know that an anonymous stranger online hurt your wittle bitty feelings and you can’t take it. Let them know this person is a licensed psychologist and you want to file a complaint against this anonymous person for something that happened on an anonymous Internet forum outside of a professional environment. Then, move the phone from your ear to prevent damage, as they will be laughing quite audibly. You might even record the phone call. It will get a lot of laughs.

Oh but you can’t read them so it’s a moot point. I will discontinue absolutely nothing as I’ve done nothing wrong. I tend to do what I please. Take your laughable threats elsewhere to someone who may actually fear your repeated asinine empty threats.

Lol you’ll push for me to be banned? Have at it. I’m sure the admins put a lot of thought into your opinion. Actionable and unethical? Wrong again. But good effort, love bug.

She already bowed out on herself when she gave up on herself. She further bowed when she, as a WLS patient, thought she would attempt to fat shame. Her presence here won’t matter. She will fail at this journey, there is no doubt.

Quite the opposite, actually. I’m rather egotistical. But it’s cute that you’re playing armchair psychologist.

Hahaha ummm okay? You’re resorting to this? Making fun of an office that you literally cannot see? My my, the lack of originality is staggering. And humorous.

Well, I have 3 degrees and am the youngest person in the university to ever finish a doctorate. I’m not overly concerned about how intelligent you may or may not believe me to be. What are your credentials, exactly? Non-existent, I would wager

Really? Then where did this diplomas and licenses on my wall come from?

Nah your post did nothing of the sort. You made good points. People who flip out this way are walking around on edge and totally unstable to start with. Hopefully anyone in need of psychiatric intervention will seek out assistance.

See ya!

Also, I’m not a cow at all. I look and feel fantastic. 23 lbs to go until goal weight. Wearing a size 6. I’m doing great. So, nah, not a cow. But feel free to insult me again. I love getting this kind of reaction from whackos.

Hahaha “the kindest person you’d ever meet”?? Really? I wonder if the admin will agree with that when I send him this post. Keep fooling yourself that you’re a nice person. That’s actually funny. This is excellent. I am loving it.

Um why? Are you really this upset because you were corrected over your insistence that exercise doesn’t aid in weight loss? Lol Geez. Don’t be lazy. Just exercise. I’m really weirded out that you’re following me around. Creepy.

Evidently you can’t. Lol But, yes, I absolutely can. However, I don’t want to drive the nutcase to suicide. Her instability is readily apparent.

My “qualifications” are quite legitimate. Feel free to stop by my office anytime.

Nobody has to stop posting. You chose to make a public post. People will respond. Don’t let it drive you back to the potato chips again.

Lol this is fabulous! I love that it’s this easy to get you worked up enough. And fat shaming? Really? Give me a break. There is absolutely nothing you can say to upset me. I’m secure enough in myself that I don’t flip out due to a comment on the Internet. Sadly, you cannot say the same thing. No wonder you’re failing at this process, not losing properly and eating potato chips. You’re incredibly unstable and in desperate and immediate need of serious, intensive, inpatient treatment. You will fail in this journey, my dear. I give it 6 months, at the absolute most. You’ll gain every pound back and then some. Very sad. Feel free to flip out again and attempt to insult me. I find it wonderfully hilarious. Also, I’m 6 feet tall and was 402 at my highest weight. I lost over 100 lbs prior to surgery. Since my surgery 3 months ago, I’ve lost an additional 97 pounds. So, which of us is failing here, darlin’? I’m 23 pounds away from my goal weight. How about you? [emoji57]

No, I’m not a physician, however I am a doctor. I’m a psychologist. You can chastise me if it pleases you, but it won’t change anything about me. I am not here to coddle. Coddling does not help anyone. It only encourages this type of self sabotaging behavior. This poster isn’t interested in any suggestions that don’t immediately fit what she wants to hear. She has already proven that by jumping down the throat of others. I will call that type of behavior out every single time I see it. I’m sorry you don’t seem to approve of how I deal with things. That’s your right. However, I’m certain there are things you may do or believe that I wouldn’t approve of. That’s the beauty of human beings. Believe what you will. Think what you will. Do what you will. And so will I. On June 12, 2017 I had my gallbladder removed, my lapband removed and revised to an RNY. HW: 402, SW 306, CW 249, GW 185

Of course I watched it. I wouldn’t have commented about it if I hadn’t done significant research on this man and his comments regarding exercise. I won’t tell anyone what to think or believe, but there is a multitude of research that debunks his beliefs. As an aside, exercise does cause weight loss. It’s about 80/20 diet vs exercise. Exercise and muscle tone turn the body into a resting calorie burning machine. If you’re interesting in learning just why many, many, many professionals disagree with Dr. V, check out Alwyn Cosgrove Hierarchy of Fat Loss or anything by John Berardi. There is also a lot of peer reviewed research on the subject I could point you in the direction of. On June 12, 2017 I had my gallbladder removed, my lapband removed and revised to an RNY.
