Lucky I didn't spread false information. Yes I should have made sure I was 100% accurate. But people also need to take a chill pill.
And I never once said that drinking water would make skin disappear, I said it'd help the extra cushion. Don't put words in my mouth. It's not my fault people took my post and misunderstood. Next time I'll be sure to check with several different people before posting anything just to make sure no one gets anything mixed up.
I'm sorry I've had luck with drinking s much water. I notice a difference in my skin, weight-loss and energy levels. Too bad others don't have as good of luck as I do.
If it isn't your fault that you spread incorrect information, then whose fault is it? Why is everyone else responsible to "know what you mean"? --
I really thought you were joking and teasing. I don't assume that people are ridiculous without cause. I understand my mistake now after reading further posts.
Seriously, when you lose 100 to 200 pounds -- water isn't going to make stretched out skin disappear. The OP was directly asking about dealing with arm skin after a significant weight loss. I am sure you will understand once you lose more weight. It's easy not to have saggy skin when it's still plumped up with some mass. In fact, having lost 200 lbs and dealing with sag is a sign that I have been successful. I haven't relied on "magic" or "luck" and while water has some wonderful qualities, I certainly don't rely on it as a panacea for all things.
Miracle creams, exercises and magic solutions -- are really just insulting. They make light of a truly uncomfortable fact of a significant weight loss that sadly, only compression garments can hide or surgery can "fix."
Finally, it isn't bullying when people hold you accountable for your own words. Every conflict isn't "bullying" -- but playing the victim usually backfires on truly finding success in life.
Good luck.

^^^^ This.
Oh I understand. I wasn't taking accountability for my ridiculousness. I assumed more people would understand where I was coming from and I was wrong. I assumed, that never works in my favor.
I was being very childish about being bullied. Of course everyone has their own views on it, and I know the difference between between being bullied and being held accountable. But that is just me, not anyones fault we view things differently =)
Again I am so sorry I turned your post into drama, I promise those were never my intentions. I let the worse get the best of me and I will make sure it never happens again, as this is something I never do, it is definitely not like me to do this at all.

Drama is such a big word for all of that. It got funny and interesting there for a while...
Have fun...and smile... It is never too late for that..

You are so awesome and while I am very late to this thread where my name sake has deleted her post history so I can only IMAGINE what kind of silliness was said - You my Berry friend are 100% right on as usual. 
Good luck tomorrow - I'll be thinking of you!

Thank you Berry Sister. I'm nervous for the pre-op crap tomorrow-- and dreading the pain on Friday 
To those of you who made unnecessary and rude remarks over a silly post, I want to thank you.
At first I was offended, got myself all worked up but ended up having a GREAT work out just thinking about your rudeness.
Secondly, I admit my post wasn't the best, and I apologize for making you think I'm some idiot who has no idea what I'm talking about. I am a very smart person who has alot of knowledge to give, but also enough room to receive. I am no better or smarter than any of you, nor are you than me.
Thirdly, although there was a fuss over my comment, even if you were being a smartass saying I made you laugh, that's ok. I'm glad I made you laugh today. If I made you feel smarter by you stating your opinion or belittling me, then that's ok too. I'm glad I made you feel good today.I am being 100% honest, no smartass or rudeness intended.
Lastly, please keep in mind we all have our struggles and successes. We share WLS and are here to support and encourage one another. So please just double think before you jump down someone's throat over something so small and silly. Being a bully over the internet, if a reflection of the kind of bully you are in person. So please reevaluate your perfections before you throw a stone. We all say/think/post things that may or may not be true, ho est, funny, or informative. It's a learning experience all together.
I will continue to drink water and view it as "magic" because it has worked in my favor.
I wish you all nothing but success on your weight loss journey, and hope you all stay strong and enjoy your Holiday!
Merry Christmas!
blah blah blah. Nobody was rude but you. We all just stated our opinions of your post.
why did you delete those posts,hmm? Only cowards post and delete.
I'm not a coward. I realized I stooped to everyone's level of arrogance and decided to remove myself from the problem as much I could.
I obviously had no intentions of making anything worse or even ******g anyone off. But whatever, to each their own.
Happy Holidays!

Lol ok lady. You must **** rainbows to think it's ok to call someone a coward. If I was a coward would I stick up for myself or try to make amends? Maybe you should re-read the statement I made. Cowards are the ones who talk big behind a screen. At least I tried to make things better. But people like you like to keep things going. Must suck being miserable.
Enjoy your Holidays!
