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.

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

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
