CHAT

YES, yes, yes to everything you said! I agree 100%. I am a smart person. I make a point to read something every day about WLS and visit two support groups daily. I am probably overly consumed with information at this point. But the human body can be stupid and make stupid choices and that’s what I did to get to this weight.

Speaking of being stupid, I totally had a brain fart and forgot that having a wife does not mean you’re a man. My stupid mistake.

No worries! I will put a picture up eventually. I just never think about when I am on my phone. I don't like the website on my phone, they need to create an APP!

** side note: having a wife no longer requires being a man or having a penis. lol

i really dont think it ever did. Unless you are talking about paperwork and government and all that crappy stuff. I’ve always felt I am who I think I am. Goes for everyone else as well.

I apologize. I wasn’t thinking. As soon as I hit “post reply” I realized my mistake.

Don't worry. I am not easily offended! Hard to know who you are talking to online especially without a face! Naturally people assume wife of a man.

I'm using the app. I was prompted to download it at some point when it apparently detected I was using a phone, not a dedicated computer.

There is an APP? I couldn't find one. What is it called?

Good grief Diane, this is not how CHAT works. It’s supposed to be a light hearted, brief chat, not a 500 word reply. I feel like you’re lecturing me and picking apart my words. I’ve already had a stressful day. I don’t need a lesson on sugar and carbs.

I don't know, I've been away from the group and may have missed something, but it seems that the climate in this group has changed a bit.

Might I suggest that we remember this is a support group with many different personalities. Some write few words, others are full of things to say. What helps one may not help another. If we keep that in mind, take what you need from this group and leave the rest. And above all, lets be kind.

New topic. Why do so many people fail after surgery? It’s kind of surprising to me how many patients “cheat” and find a way to eat the crappy food that made them obese in the first place.

I cheated because I could not get the best of my hunger. I practically woke up from surgery ravenous. I also don't feel much restriction, never did. I can actually eat three pieces of pizza without batting an eye. All in all, I shouldn't have had the surgery.

But I did, and now I am trying to make up for past bad behavior.

People tend to "fail" because there is more to it then just the surgery. Its a mind game and we have to learn to rework it along with our food choices to actually have the most success
