My Pre Op Diet Was All I Needed

Chuckster, again, good job on the results.

No.....great job on the results.

You've really accomplished something substantial. 146 lb lighter and you've been there for four years.

That is exceptional. You found the tools to do it. I'm guessing that's what we all are doing.....finding those tools we need.

The stats below your name say that you just joined but had surgery this past March. Somewhat confusing. Why did you join here these past few days and enter the information that you entered ?

This makes your initial post seem odd. This was lost on me at first. I was blown away with your results and didn't see this.

As far as being healthier now vs having the surgery......that is truly only for you to decide.

I felt the exact same way when I lost 125 lbs. I thought that I'd have made a mistake having WLS. I also learned a lot of lessons that I thought I'd not learned otherwise. Well....I've since learned a heap of other lessons.....and learned to appreciate many more viewpoints.

Weight loss and living healthy longterm has different paths to get there and different circumstances for each of us. I'd submit that getting there is the initial goal. Whatever path we take to get there....whatever tools we employ......all secondary to getting there.

Assuming we all get there......we've simply made it to the starting line. Then the real journey begins........maintaining healthy living. It's then that I'm guessing we'll all have more similarities than differences: small & frequent meals, quality food-not garbage, active lifestyles, etc. Being to maintain this lifestyle is the true test of being "more healthy".

I can say that without a shadow of doubt.....I'll be "more healthy" this time around with the bypass as a tool. Anyone that cares to argue with me can do so 10-15-20 years down the road. We'll see then.

I missed it the first time around. I'm slow like that.

There's nothing worse then former smokers who cough like crazy when they see someone smoking, former drunks that think they have found all the answers about alcohol, and former fattys that sneer at us who remain overweight or choose a way to live longer by having surgery. I feel sorry for Chuck I think he's lonely.

This may take awhile he's getting all my "information" together....

Looks like Chuck is no longer a member of the site. Glad to see him gone.

Great, now I'll take down the details of my sex life...just kind of ticked me off and I suspected that the troll has never had the pleasure, so seemed like a fun place to twist the knife a little.

No, no, no! We welcome anyone and everyone struggling/succeeding with obesity or weight loss. @@Chuckster is still a member as far as I can see.

I'm hoping for a reply to my last post, personally.

[scarletwitch19 302]

Huh. Maybe I've been blocked then lol

[Babbs 14,681]

What the heck is going on with this site lately? It sure has been getting spammed by a lot of people with other intentions....mostly just advertisements for services but still.

I have a feeling 'ol Chuckster was either a troll or a spammer.

He sure liked the word "glutton".
