    I actually contemplated not responding (as you see, I didn't respond nomorefattypatty insults...no discussion there), but I will...
    Don't get mad and take your ball home. Don't let one online interaction take away something you find beneficial for your ongoing health and success...that would be self-sabotage. You should stay if you find support here.
    I rarely comment on threads like this, but I did ask a question...and it still wasn't answered by either of you. I was truly confused, as I stated, and my question was serious...as I stated. I can't answer why this was in your feed (as the last post before yours was in September)...regardless, the actual post that you commented on was a year old; you became indignant about it (which led to nomorefattypatty defending the president, a grown man who doesn't need defending; which led to additional discussion of a topic, by your account, should not be discussed here) ...in the ensuing year that it was posted nobody referenced the comment about the president, except you..you highlighted it...you started the discussion (go back and take a look); people have now responded (which is guaranteed to happen in any open access online community); the thing that really got me was the comment that this resurrected discussion point about the president isn't appropriate for this site...but it was already dead and had never become a discussion point until now.
    Am I am not being facetious here: What did you think would happen when you posted that? Did you think people would not respond to it? If you did, how did you think people would respond? Since you say that i wasn't helpful in my response to you, did you actually think your initial comment was helpful for this community, especially given the divisive environment that we are living in?
    Me and my ball is leaving.

    In all seriousness:
    [mention=352513]joannniemiec[/mention] [mention=317115]nomorefattypatty[/mention] The main question is what was the intent in RESURRECTING a YEAR OLD post that began this railing against/arguing/fighting/defending/supporting the comment about the president and/or the president himself, when that post was ALREADY DEAD/NOT COMMENTED ON THEN/FROM SOMEONE WHO HADN'T POSTED SINCE OCTOBER; then jumping to the conclusion that [mention=348014]Beachladee3[/mention] was laughing at the president comment back in September (as opposed to any other part of the post); then following up your comments by stating this discussion has no place on this site...when you brought it up again and continue to post about it?!?! I am flummoxed.
    Should have let sleeping dogs lie, instead of necroposting! Let it die.
    IT JUST SHOWED UP IN MY FEED. This is BS. You feel the need to emphasize that this is a year old. It should have not showed up in my feed unless somebody else mentioned it. Your brining this up AND EMPHASIZING IT only exaserbates (sp?) the situation. This whole bariatric site is supposed to help. Honestly, I don't think to that this is helpful. Before you decide to berate me for responding to a post that shows up recently, ask. If you can't be understanding and find out the circumstances, do me a favor and DONT RESPOND. I don't find any of this beneficial. I think I will remove myself from this whole app.

    i know of someone, an older lady, who had gastric bypass surgery at a hospital in Georgia.
    the next day, the daughter brings a box of Cinnabons to her in the hospital room. they proceed to start eating them. she tears open her new stomach and has to go into emergency surgery to save her life, cleaning cinnabons out of her abdomen.
    moral of the story? there seems to be no limit to the stupidity of most people in this country. it is infinite and almost beyond the imagination. while some bariatric offices are better than others at preparation and patient education, none of that really matters when dealing with the average American.
    look at our president.
    I'm sorry, but I feel that bringing up your obvious dislike for the president in this forum is just opportunistic. This , in the end is about personal responsibility. Refraining from the behavior that for them there in the first place. TBH, right after surgery, I could have eaten the steering wheel off my car. I refrained. I have stuck to the diet, cheated a couple of times, buy have lost almost 40 lbs in 5 weeks. For those who can't make the changes, save your money and stay home.

    I am 51 and had my RNY last week. It’s not easy but I still believe this is the best option for me. It’s the tool I need to help me reach my goals. Best of luck to everyone!


    Good luck to you. I'm 51 and had mine done on 11/7. The toughest part that I have found so far is making sure not to overeat. Knowing where your limit is. So far I have lost 34 lbs...

    I have a question! Some Surgeons keep you a liquid diet for 3 weeks and and say pureed or soft at 21 days, what is phase in order?

    Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app


    Liquid, puree, soft foods, then regular, but I have found it difficult eating "regular" foods. I revert back to eating a lot of soft foods.... Refried Beans, yogurt, etc. I have the best success with those too.

    I just had my surgery last Monday December 10th. I am 51 and I had lots of concerns and questions but never was I too old. In the scheme of things I am doing well. The first few days were the worse. The surgical gas really does a number on you. I walked and walked thankfully after 3 days I was able to start getting relief. Good luck on your own day. Remember a lot of people have similar experiences but everyone is different in some way.

    I find it so funny how each person is so different. I had no gas pain, no troubles really of any kind. As of yesterday down 34 lbs.

    Have confidence in your ability to do this. You have come this far... Don't give in. I used to have NO will power... It surprises me how well I'm sticking to it. Why not. To go through the liquid diet (sucked) and the surgery to sabotage yourself seems to me to be excessively silly!!!
