Wow, Chez that is horrible. Truly, if I don't like someone's reply or something they post, I move on to another one. Kind of like Alex said earlier....You have helped me on many ocassions and always given me straightforward advice and for that I am grateful. So sorry someone could be so hateful.

We are not going to agree on everything we read here on this forum. We must keep thick skin at all times. The Sticks n Stones comes to mind. You have a choice to turn them to admin or block them from your site.

Ignore the harsh, mean and nasty. Savor the compliments, success and the good health comments.

Best wishes

I'd like to tell you to forget what that person said, but I've been cyber-stalked for almost 5 years by a sick person I met on a WLS support site and I'm not able to easily shake that kind of thing off. It's scary. I guess my best advice for you is to use the block feature and remember that you are well loved and well respected by many members of LBT.

I agree you have never been mean only upfront. If people dont want the truth and want to be enabled then they need to join overeaters anonymous. To those who think you have the right to curse at people in an email you are just a coward. If you do not like what people say or think we ar mean then block us and you will never have to read what any of us write again. On the other hand when you get no help or guidance it will only be your own fault. I dont enable people who do the wrong things. Sorry Grammy ignorance is bliss as they say and psychotic folks need to go to Iraq and get their anger adjusted.

CHEZNOEL- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR ADVICE AND HELP!!! My advice for that aweful person that posted... if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. I take alot of bull at my job and i get alot of constructive criticizm. Its hard to take, but in the end... it ultimatley makes us better. So, here is the polite response: "Thank you for correcting me and making me better." I find that when i hear something i dont like, im fired up... only to reflect and get the moral of the story. Some times what we need to hear isn't what we want to hear. BUT its just as hard to dish it as it is to receive it.

Someone on these forums are posting messages like that????

Are they frequent members?? INSANE!!!!

Over time, I have received PM's that were obviosly SPAM of some sort,,,usuallly sexual in nature, but the giveaway is that the person sending it to me has joined that day and has only posted that one time....

I would definitley forward it to alex....violates forum rules....

If anyone is interested, if you do not like someone's opinions, you can block them and leave it at that...instead of getting frustrated, you simply do not see their posts....at all....

I'm not ashamed to say it, but over the years I have blocked one or 2 people....

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
