Where did all the love go?



Recommended Posts

O.k... I am not a long time member of this board, but I love it here....

My computer had a meltdown and I went without for 3 weeks until I could afford to replace it. I install my new computer and was not prepared for what was waiting for me at my FAVORITE wls SUPPORT site....

All the love is riddled with ALOT of bickering and really ill-spirited posts.

I don't want to say much else, because I don't want to make myself a target now, but it is really sad to see other people needing to spread hateful comments towards others.

I hope that everyone gets past this and we can just all start to get along, share our opinions (agree to disagree) and keep the cussing and nastiness to ourselves.

rest assured, i truly think the worst is falling behind us. things have been pretty calm today. We have actually had several FUN threads today that have kept me in stitches.

funny threads:

vines-help me name my tumor

delarla-kitty litter

delarla-kitty whiskers? i think it was called that...

hmmm, those jump off the top of my head.

I don't feel negativity. I feel support. I'm naieve, I'm not sure what it is you speak of. I feel supported and a great deal of camaraderie here.

I agree, excellent analogy Jack! The love is still there. Hang on. Moments and days of discomfort and flare-ups pass, and we are all back together again. There are lots of different people here with lots of different backgrounds and personalities. It happens. I don't like the hatefulness and cursing and bickering. When it gets out of hand, I don't post. At all. On any of the issues. I just duck and run for cover! Call me a weasel, but chiming in usually doesn't help. Hang in there and prepare for the next go-round!. Until then, enjoy the love!!!!!

I'm glad we are moving forward on this. But just remember, where there literally are hundreds of people sharing opinions...personalities WILL clash and hemroids will flare. Gonna need some medicine for the "itis" and things will be fine again soon enough, hopefully.

Love the 'Board PB' analogy Jack. Hopefully we've yacked up all the crap that was stopping us up and can finally flush the toilet and move on.

Leave it to Jack to find the right words to express our collective constipation! LOL

I love Jack's analagy and sincerely hope he's right. This negativity is hurtin' my mojo. I left another board for this very reason. I came here and felt welcomed into loving and supportive arms. Then.......I'm away for a few days at work and what do I find? HATE and DISCONTENT. WTF?

Why can't we all just get along? Don't we all have the same basic goal at heart?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
