You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Some people, however, have a pattern of posting "questions" or "rants" (venting) when they don't really want answers or even other people's reactions... all they really want are certain responses. Any responses that are not what they wanted are deemed "harsh" or "mean".
If someone comes here and posts that they are eating pepperoni pizza toppings at three weeks post-op but that they think it should be ok because cheese and pepperoni are both protein, and because they are chewing it well, and all they WANT is for the hand-patters to come on and tell them that what they are doing is just fine... They are going to get lots of "mean" responses telling them that it is NOT ok.
By the way, based on my 7 years here on Obesity Help, here is how the rest of the story goes: 1) the original poster will then reply to their original post (and will sometimes also post a separate thread as well) complaining about how mean some people here are, 2) they will leave OH within a few weeks or a couple of months, and then 3) they will reappear when they are about 2 years out complaining of regain and asking how they can re-lose the weight...

Ugh, figures. I don't know why people post to public forums when they only want to hear what their thinking in a different voice. 
I'm out...this thread has run it's course for me :)
We really need to quote everything she writes now. Because the conversation makes no sense when she keeps deleting her posts.

It shows maturity and mental stability. Or lack of it. I guess she may be lacking both of them.
Or maybe it is still hormonal ? and proteins and vitamins deficiencies that clearly affect her ability to reason. I sure hope she gets real help before it is too late and she develops some permanent changes in her brain because of her deficiencies.
