I hate it when people post just to post.....

IS there anyways to ban people who are total asshats from posting advice in certain forums? Like no posting in the preop/introductions area because you give poor advice to newbies that do not know any better.

I was JUST having that conversation with Boo Boo Kitty... I was wondering how some newbies here ever survive with the crap advice spewing out of the asses of a choice few people. 2 spring to mind right away.

You know what really irritates me???? I follow all these posts and look up to you all that have been banded already, living the band life and all. I even wanna be like some of you! I am hoping for 'addiction transfer' to exercise!!! LOL I love that so many of you share the good and the bad about the band. So many great things about LBT. BUT...

I hate it when someone (referring to the aforementioned thread) posts all this "advice" and "secrets" and "keys" but when directly asked how to achieve or unlock them, they suddenly disappear from the thread! This just happened last week too (I'm not a stalker, I just wanna be friends with all of you guys! :tongue_smilie: and the person offered an entire thread dedicating themselves to giving advice to the new people about being at goal and all! But when called out on it can't be found to respond!!!! ARGH!! If you (that poster) can't back it up, keep your mouth shut! Ya know? There, I just had to voice it because I usually don't say much!

Does this qualify as a 'post just to post'? Am I using too many quotes?

Turler, I think I might know what thread you are talking about. And I may, or may not have made a half arsed, yet successful, attempt at hijacking that thread.

It may, or may not be why the OP of that thread now thinks that people who are smaller than a size 6 are unattractive.

asshats are. How can I laugh at them if I can't find them? Would some one please PM and enlighten me? :tongue_smilie:

I can think of three. And it's funny how they always appear to be up each other's asses.

Kinda like those Russian nesting dolls.

See, you guys know who/what I'm talking about!! LOL Seriously though, I don't even think you hijacked it, you just called her out on it. I just think ppl should be careful about boasting. There is a lot of information for us newbies to take in and digest (pun intended) and advice like severe restriction to the point of malnourishment is absurd!!! How can she be boasting in one thread and asking others for unfill/maintence advice in another? And then of course, fall off the face of that thread!

Of course, I love watching a good debate/drama unfold like anyone else! :tongue_smilie:

It's scary that she is giving advice when her 50lb loss is due to starvation. Very scary indeed.

      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.
