    Oh my God what more do you want from me?? Write me an apology and I'll sign it, whatever it takes to get on with this. I made a comment, I've said I'm sorry, I've taken everything everyone has said without attacking back. People please, if I'm at fault for not knowing someone well enough to give...

    15 year WLS veteran with an opinion to those considering WLS.

    Well I didn't sugar coat my OPINION and that's all it was. I never meant it to be cruel and I've apologized so many times. I just don't know how to proceed. I'm going to try my best to move forward. I've never had anyone react so harshly to an opinion and I'm not arrogant, but obviously a poor...

    15 year WLS veteran with an opinion to those considering WLS.

    Wow, I never bashed anyone, I gave my opinion with no malice intended and I've taken everyone's criticism with calm grace, which is more than I can say about the last comment.

    15 year WLS veteran with an opinion to those considering WLS.

    Well, I think your being to hard on me, but I respect what your saying to me. I know what I've experienced and I know what others have shared with me in support groups, so I'm wondering why I'm so far off? Again, I realized its not meant for everyone but to say I'm the only one with this issue...

    Again, heard you all loud and clear. I didn't mean to suggest it was for everyone. I will be more specific next time I give an opinion.

    I'm going to keep taking all of this because I'm not some crazy. I made an observation and I stand by it for those who it applies. I get it, but just because I didnt know about dry vitamin D, doesn't mean that I'm completely wrong. I see other posts about people who don't comply and what the...

    15 year WLS veteran with an opinion to those considering WLS.

    I think I've apologized enough, I clearly did not explain myself well enough. I'm not as unreasonable as you may think, I'm obviously willing to listen and learn. Apparently I have a lot more learning than I thought.

    15 year WLS veteran with an opinion to those considering WLS.

    I don't have psych issues and I'm very surprised and humbled at the reaction I'm getting but I'm willing to take any criticism. I feel horrible that I've offended you all so much. It was never my intention. I only wish I could explain myself better.

    15 year WLS veteran with an opinion to those considering WLS.

    I never claimed to be perfect, I'm sorry I've offended you so much. I know how I struggled and why. I just gave my opinion. My revision was to slow my weight loss. I lost 150 in 10 months. I struggled and then I saw others struggling with the same self sabotaging behavior,I was just trying to...

    Got it, I really didn't mean to offend anyone. I guess I touched a nerve either way. Maybe I'm on to something, maybe I'm not. We all know our truth,or at least we should. I see all the sides, but don't know these people personally. I throw it out there in hopes to catch those who need or want...

    If this doesn't apply to you, no need to defend or agree. It just one women's opinion to hoping to help make sure those coming after us have all the tools available. I expected disagreement but....I hope there is room for all of us. No one fits into one mold.

    15 year WLS veteran with an opinion to those considering WLS.

    We are know there are no absolutes. I don't know if the DS worked for me. I'm overly skinny and severely malnourished, all my doing. I know what I've done and seen others do and admit the same. I know once "I" broke my metabolism, I was then trapped, but once I got the surgery, I had a...

    15 year WLS veteran with an opinion to those considering WLS.

    Diana, I'm so glad you responded the way you did. While I agree medical issues are complex, I feel we don't focus on the other side enough. I'd like to see equal time to what I believe is true for most. I'm open to anyone's comments about this. I've seen WLS brothers and sisters complain their...

    What are you making/eating for Thanksgiving?

    Thanksgiving was my last supper. I had my surgery 2 days later. I love tradition, so I always stick to the basics. By the time I'm done cooking, I've tasted and smacked to the point that I can't sit and eat, even 15 years out my copassity at one sitting is small. I'm a grazer!!! I love...

    Let's see here, this is my first post. I feel really strong about this subject. Forget about how much you get to eat or what you can eat. Who are you? What are your truths? What's wrong in your life? Debt? Bad marriage? Unresolved trauma? These will all be left after the surgery and any weight...
