Please be kind

You really made your point already.  Continuing is not helpful and if you aren't responding with the intent of being helpful to the actual poster of the thread, you need to examine your motives for being on a site called Obesity HELP.  

Your wisdom is welcome, but self righteous tirades are not attractive and undermind your message.

BUT,,,,, you also  made your point and are continuing this.... what is the difference in what you just did and what Kim felt the need to say?? Seems you are in  the" keep it going boat." IMHO...

Where does it say in TOS  I only get one say?   Guess what?  I get to post what I want and however many times I want as long as I don't break the rules of this site ...*

I tried to help the OP with advice and she and others really don't want to take it?   Am I bothered?  No, not really!  If I want to post "self righteous unattractive tirades", I will!  Well, at least until I decide to go and do something else.   You are not the boss of me and your sanctimonious judgement of me is ... only mildly entertaining  Anything else?

ETA:  * which the mods seem to be making up as they go along today ...  sheesh!

SK I  TOTALLY respect U and Ur journey and advice ...BUT  .... I have been there every stubborn step w this poster.  She sounds just like ME .. stubborn, addicted to high glycemic , unhealthy choices .., justifying making the above because .....

I, personally , have found my WLS to be unbelievably LIBERATING .  I  longer NEED HBS ( high blood sugar) to soothe me... its the most AMAZING thing .  yes it took three YEARS for me to realize the import of this wonderful GIFT of WLS .

Now I  rock bikinis  , make financially aelf suffficient and sustaining choices ...grow the most wonderful pesticide free food ....I l;ive a FAR more  fulfilling life .. every single  day

Hi,

I agree with you. We are all in this together.  Every one of us has made poor food choices.  If we hadn't, we wouldn't be needing surgery.  With the social stigma of obesity, we've all had too much negativity in our lives already.  I would like this forum to be about support and most people do as well. 

You can block users who are negative, so you don't need to deal with them. 

I wish you well on your weight-loss journey.  We all deserve to be healthy, and this surgery helps us do that.

Bariatric Friendly on FB is moderated and they DONT put up with half of these comments and you can still get great support, ideas and honesty. Hang on the road is paved with cracks and stones and sometimes a few get thrown ! Keep following your program and find the support and honesty that works for you. Not everyone responds to the same approach but it doesn't mean you wont be successful.

Thanks, I will have to check that one out :)

That sounds great - I'll pop in and have a look ...  Thanks for the recommendation!

ETA:  Good to see they have *some* truth in there - among the rainbow emitting unicorns and some such LOL!  Wonder how long KZ will last

You have to be kidding me!   There was no personal attack on the deleted post - just an opposing opinion!   Come on mods - this was absolutely NOT against TOS - move it to R&R if you are worried about poster sensibilities - isn't that the point of that forum?
