For those who've been supportive, thanks but I'm leaving

I've been on the RNY board for over 8 years - although not as active the last 5 years.
I'm sorry you feel you have to leave - but I'd ask you to reconsider. There will come "bumps" in your bariatric surgery journey that no one understands like another bariatric surgery patient.
You can get valuable information, advice, news, answers, etc. on this board.
Please come back when you need some help.
Blessings,
Penny

After the fiasco that developed based on my last post on dating, I will no longer be posting to or reading this forum. My feelings were hurt tremendously and I don't think a lot of people understood the spirit of my post. Perhaps that's my fault, or a combination of my fault and the fact that you can't tell "tone" on the Internet.
Thanks to those who supported me and understood that I'm a human, warts and all, and that I've made mistakes with food and otherwise. I'm certainly not perfect and I know I've eaten things and done things that can hurt Alberta (my pouch) and my weight loss journey. I'm doing my best to learn from those things and move on.
This is not a "flounce" or an attempt for sympathy, but rather an attempt to explain myself.
To those who understood and/or supported me, many thanks and I wish you all the best.
To those who didn't or who attacked me....bless your hearts.
If you want to communicate with me and we can cheer each other on, please PM me and I'll give you my private email address. I will no longer be reading this board as of the end of the day today (I'm going on vacation so I won't be able to see it anyway).
Sincerely yours,

actually,it is a "good bye cruel forum" post,if it wasn't you would have just deleted without a dramatic exit attempt.
it will definitely be your loss,cause we will all still be here getting and receiving help. I hope you are able to find a forum where ppl will say what you want to hear.
Bless your heart too,and being from the south,I REALLY know what that means ,but I'm not getting my tail feathers in a wad.
Don't ever let anyone run you off of a site. I didn't see your post so I don't know what was said. We have to learn to ignore people that try to hurt us. I will send you a pm.
if you didn't see the OP,how do you think you can say ppl" trying to hurt us? " You don't even know what you are talking about.
No one is trying to run anyone off of the site. Why is it that when people disagree that people need to run away crying?
Please STAY on the site and contribute to the community. If you say something i don't agree with, I'll take it in stride and keep coming here regardless. If i get truly offended by someone, i will block that person and keep using the site for the purpose it's intended. Real support, not just unicorns and rainbows.
