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

I think it's just hilarious that we all sit here and talk about this. Does she not have a clue?

I think being clueless is a side effect of malnutrition. I read that somewhere so it MUST be true.

Once you get to goal, you might need to ask the whole board the same question countless times, get the same answers and ignore it every time.

Because, remember YOU ARE ALWAYS RIGHT! Even Doctors are wrong! And how wrong could you be if your surgeon is asking you how you did it!

Naturally you are always right! Just look at your army of loyal ass sniffers. How could you let them down by admitting you are less than perfect?

Oh. Wait. That's someone else. Never mind. LMAO

OK, I need to vent. I just read yet ANOTHER new post from someone on their liquid post-op diet, asking if "WE" think it's ok for them to have some chili or potato Soup. That in itself annoys me.

But what REALLY chaps my ass is the 20 people who post back that it's perfectly fine to do that, THEY did it and they lived to tell about it.

Just because every surgeon seems to have their own ideas about what's best for us post-op doesn't automatically give us permission to not follow our own surgeon's orders.

Saw the same one. Sometimes ppl can be so infuriating(sp?).

Well, you see, TG I was allowed to have creamy potato Soup as a full liquid =) But then again that was MY surgeon. If hers said something else, obviously she should be following that.

I think those people who tend to cheat like that are the ones who think a band is a quick fix.

I also noticed that most of the people telling her that it's ok are people who have had their band for like, five minutes. All OP said is that she's supposed to be on liquids for 10 days.

For me, there were 4 days of Clear Liquids, then 2 weeks of FULL liquids, which did include creamy Soups, but not CHILI, which was on my mushy diet after that, which lasted 2 weeks, and then on to solids "as tolerated".

Instead of ppl saying that she should do whatever the hell she wants, they should be telling her to call her surgeon's office and talk with him/her about it. A few people are, and thanks be to God for them, I don't have the patience to post with manners on something like that.

I guess the reason it pisses me off so much is because if your surgeon tells you to do something, and it doesn't work, or it causes you problems, it's the surgeon's fault. If your surgeon tells you to do something and you don't do it, it's your fault. If your surgeon tells you to do something and you ask a bunch of people that you don't even know for advice because you think your surgeon is wrong, and you get crappy advice from them, do what THEY say, and it causes problems, it's still YOUR OWN FAULT, but now you get the luxury of blaming "this website I was reading....":angry:

Yeah...I read that one. I can't believe that. Why did they get the band in the first place, if in the first week they're cheating?

I'm on liquids the next 2 days because of my fill. (1 cc yesterday and had .5 removed today. I became waaay too tight last night.)

I know I need to give my body a rest and not over exert my tummy. To me, liquids doesn't mean pulling out my blender and throwing whatever I want in it.

Is that the one where all the people who have had their bands for a long time are telling her it's not okay? FaithMD

wrote a great post about why the post op diet is necessary.

Then they got mad because one of the moderators told her not to

cheat on the liquid diet. They said the moderators shouldn't be telling them what to do. The mod said I am a mod but also have a band.

It's like a big war now.

Yes, that's the one. There are a few people who posted with reason and sanity over there, and Faithmd is one of them.

Yea, I have been following that thread. I was wondering when WasA was going to chime in. That is her biggest pet peeve.

Wow, I just read the WHOLE thread. Originally, I read the first page, and had to quit, because of the stupidity of it.

FaithMD, if you're reading this, you're one of my mostest favoritest people today. So eloquent... LJM, Wasa, FaithMD, Susan....who am I forgetting? Anyway you all are angels on this board.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
