Chewing but not swallowing

[LisaMergs 2,854]

well what would you prefer some who's being condescending, and antagonizing? People make mistakes clearly corrected. But no worries I'll mark you and lipstick as people I'll never ask advise from. Thank you.

@shelterdawg.. I'm sorry, I thought you heard the mic drop.. let me drop it again for you - a lil louder this time. I posted to the original poster and I think she can read. I do me, you do you. Worry about you and yours.

These are mine, sweet pea

Dang, this beats fishgate.

I don't know...Fishgate kind of sets the standard for the genre, don't you think?

What's fish gate ?

This is the third time I have asked myself "is this a serious post or someone trying to start drama for fun?" (Ie trolling) since I started reading it.

I don't feel any closer to drawing a conclusion yet. Is this for real?

Ask for advice and then give a black eye to everyone who tries to give said advice? Why ask then?

[atzvsg 20]

No no trolling and believe me a appreciate all the advise I just didn't appreciate being antagonized but it's ok I did take everyone's advise and I corrected it. @@Hammer_Down

@@atzvsg Fishgate is a silly thread that got going because someone got SUPER DUPER mad about something that was said and being SUPER DUPER mad, typed 'carp' instead of 'crap'. You can imagine the swirl around the drain that commenced

Some of the most fun we have around here is when we all take a minute and laugh about how absurd we can all be...because we can all be pretty absurd from time to time!

I find that sugar free Jello helps my urge to chew.. it's a weird chew but it's still a chew! Is the gum not giving you gas issues? I'm going to ask my NUT about gum tomorrow

@shelterdog It is kinda silly. I suppose as is this thread. I did see this post got a lot of attention. I've had a lot of PMs but no gum doesn't give me gas. It helps the ice pops help more than anything I love jell-O I though about getting like a baby toy for teething. I get lock jaw a lot. So my jaw needs to chomp or move I' do sometimes end up chewing on the wooden stick from the ice pop

Glad to hear that.

The best teachers I ever had (in school, university and life) weren't the ones who always agreed with me or gave me an A. The best teachers I've had were the ones who challenged me in my thinking, provoked me to make a point about my assumptions and sometimes slapped me down (metaphorically, of course) when I became too confident, too soon.

I learned how to stand by my convictions not by being placated but by being dared to.

To the op and anyone else who didn't like the sound advice given, albeit several times.

What you may or may not realize, is that there is a lot of people just reading and not posting. What the veterans are doing is making sure that they don't start any self destructive behavior, in addition to giving advice to the op.

Eating disorders or doing something that can damage your newly operated pouch or sleeve will be adressed firmly, since it can lead to dangerous situations.

If you want private advice, don't post on public board. Simple.

Also I've noticed in other weight loss groups that sometimes people just post for encouragement instead of advice. They're really looking to hear other's tell them that what they're doing is okay, or that everyone does it. Those kind of posts get sticky when the general consensus is that they should stop.

[atzvsg 20]

I don't disagree. It was good advice for the most part.
