Can someone tell me....
What happened awhile back is that 1 poster started calling a bunch of us hags when she didn't get an answer she liked. We took that, ran with it, made it our own & started putting it in our usernames. That poster is gone & we're still here.

Yup, there's a certain honesty here, mixed with a bit of hard ass sarcasm that really attracted me to this place...
None of that sugar coated BS, and pats on the head. Nope, it's all real here!

and 99.9% of it is given with the best of intentions. Sometimes it's hard to get a sense of what someone is meaning when reading words on the internet. Best to just take it with a grain of salt and with the idea that the poster means well.
Plus, a little bit of snark never really hurt anyone.

I agree....no need to sugar coat. I do not want to go back to where I was as a preop. No one in my life understands what kind of struggle obesity is. I am 20 months out and am in a bigger struggle now than I was 12 months ago. I like this forum over others I have been a part of and why I am here. I also have thick skin...that does not hurt...LOL
No sugar coating... but the occasional funny cat picture ;)
