Just Stop It Already



Recommended Posts

Mostly everyone is wonderful and supportive on this forum, however, there is always one or two who feel they have to belittle others who's views doesn't "sit" in their gullet very well. Those folks know who they are and those folks will probably leave a "condesending" comment as well. . . just look. . .

I've seen a few too, and I do get irritated, but mostly I pity them. Their lives must be pretty miserable to have to come on a msg board for support and spread their toxic poison. I am trying to learn to ignore them.

For the most part this is a very supportive forum. Most might think I'm being biased, and perhaps I am little bit - but I just do my best to not allow a few bad apples spoil my whole bunch. :) Everyone's entitled to his or her opinion as long as it's not done in a manner in which anyone is singled out personally and/or meant as a personal attack. That forum rule in its simplest form has kept order here for years now.

Post away!!

I hope I'm not one of them you consider condesending :(

I try to be supportive but once in a while I post a comment that may be different from the rest.

Sorry if it's me.

We all have different opinions sometimes, but as long as we respond with maturity and respect, I think that is normal.

Well, I certainly hope I don't come across that way!! THIS is my support group, because my IRL one stinks. Actually, just the moderator of the IRL one stinks, the people in it are great! :)

This thread along with the other grammar police threads crack me up. Honestly, tit for tat. Is that "condesending" enough? *shrugs* I started exploring recently looking for something and ran across this board. It's nice to have a board to rant on, however the elementary school he said she said I don't much like. If I have something to say I prefer to say it to that person. My opinion, and how I handle things. I guess this would be my rant for the day. LOL

On another note....Have a good weekend (being sincere here).

I guess I'm lucky, or oblivious. Except for one nasty guy, everyone on here has been wonderfully supportive.

Oh gosh, could I be one of "those people"? I can see how my personality can come across that way. I am afraid to ask, but I would rather know the truth. :(

I was thinking that same thing, I hope I come accross as always being supportive.

      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.
