Bariatric post-op Guidelines - a repost of a good statement.

Thank you Karen. Like I said, I do appreciate the concern and take the advice seriously. 

Blueiss, I won't even comment on your response. It is so over the top and *****y that I can't even believe your lack of compassion. I'll leave it at that because I really could say so much more but won't 

You're in Mississauga. I'm in Mississauga. I think we should have a coffee. It sounds like you could use some guidance and maybe someone to talk to.

I'm sad that I woke up this morning to find you deactivated. If you are reading, and I sincerely hope that you are, please reconsider. It's so easy to get upset and shut down. You need support right now - by leaving you've closed off communication with people who give a damn about you. Sometimes a hand slap is much more caring than a hand pat, believe it or not. 

:(

Well.  This certainly wasn't what I was expecting when posting this.  What a ****storm.  Sorry feelings are hurt.  Sad to see a member deactivate.  I posted the above as I am reading all sorts of posts to keep motivated, continue to learn and learn from others successes and failures. 

I hope Melly reaches out to you Karen.  She is (not sure if she is anymore) on my FB so if you want to connect with her, I'll do what I can.  Might help :) 

It's all about choices.  Excuses and rationalizing poor choices, regardless of the reasons, are in part, why many of us ended up overweight to begin with.  Those are the mental/behavioural issues that need to be worked on.  I know I do - every single day.  I expect I always will.  My choice today will be to hopefully not **** anymore people off.  Cheers .

Well, unless she reaches out to me here I won't hear from her. I don't do FB or other sites or stuff. I'd be pretty easy to find at City Hall, but Security might take issue with a young woman yelling my name down the sacred hallways. LOL  Kidding of course.

Don't fret about ******g anyone off. It's bound to happen and you are not to blame for a member choosing to deactivate. Just like you're not to blame for a member choosing to eat crap. ;)
