POSTING ON BOARDS

Hey there all, I dont think I am going to post on the boards for awhile. It seems no matter what I say its never the right thing. I was mis informed about something I should of not even given advice on and then I get bashed about it. I have been on this board for two years now and it seems like when ever I try to give advice to anyone new all I get is nasty remarks from some of the members. I am a very kind and caring person and I never meant to upset or insult anyone on this board for any reason whatsoever. I have always thought we were a family here, and I am afraid to say the wrong things now. I have always looked for support here, but if I am saying things that upset people, insult people or just annoy people so now I am going to back off. I dont want any confrontation with anyone here. I am not a know it all and I am not the type of person who takes and does not give back, I was brought up to be kind and caring and try to help others. But it seems when I need advice or need help I am bothering people or annoying them for some reason. I have decided I am just going to take a break from the boards for awhile with any advice giving. I will come on and read the posts and maybe post the food log once in awhile with my friends there but I am going to back off for now. I hope to still keep in touch with my close friends here, you know who you are!!! So take care everyone and I will be back. Hugs KimC

dont you dare stop posting,,,not everyone on this board is perfect,although some might think they are,,not every one is successful,,most are,,we all have our issues,,and you are only human,,everyone makes mistakes,and as i said on my post to joanne,i didnt think you meant it as an insult to anyone..if someone takes it that way,,oh well,,look at the results,,,,the time frames,,the profiles,the medical issues,,,dont worry about that immaturity kim,,,you are real,and think your no better than anyone else,,so keep right on posting,,some us really appreciate what you say,,and besides,,,your a terrific person as well.. i personally know of about 7 people who had lap band that now what the gastric bypass or wish they had had it,not every storie is full proof.....keep your head up my friend. take care and keep in touch,,,keep emailin me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont back up on nothing,,speak your mind

Hey Kim, don't run off. We all have opinions on here and some that may seem diferent to some may make perfect sense to others. I know your not the type of person to try to hurt anothers feelings . The fact that we all can come here and discuss whatever we feel , be they sucesses or failures is what makes this board so real. This is our safe place to let off steam and frustrations. So , think it over. Don't run off! Take Care, Big Brother

Thanks big brother, As always your my inspiration. I really am grateful to you as a friend and as my adopted big brother. I love ya buddy. Thanks so very much. I will get through this as always. Hugs Little Sis

Kim, Don't go running away- people post on here for advice. This advice comes from our own individual situations. It's up to the readers to take or leave the advice that is posted. Each post that is written is based on our own experiences. Don't worry about what others have to say. The whole process of WLS is new to so many people. Afterall, all we can do is post our opinions. We are not doctors or therapists- we are the ones that have LIVED the journey- just remember that.

Hello Christine, Thank you so very much for your kindess, its greatly appreciated. Take care and have a great weekend. Hugs KimC
