A Message From ObesityHelp Management

She's beautiful Gina. And I'm sure she was beautiful on the inside too. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Just hazarding a guess - but I'm betting she never thought transfer addiction would happen to her.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend, Gina. Liz's smile looks like it would light up a room.

I posted a very informative and factual post about narcotic metabolism after RNY and the possibilities of transfer addiction to a pre op and was promptly blocked.

What would somebody, with almost 14 years on here know about that? I've seen probably 10+ people die from transfer addiction in that time and of course that's not counting people who don't hang here long enough for us to get to know them.

You just can't win with some people.

Asking or suggesting that people change their "tough love" stance is like asking the sun in the sky to stop shining. People are grown & this is the internet. Things like tone are easily misinterpreted. People should realize by now that yes sometimes you need tough love, just like sometimes you need a pat on the back.

On this site you get that & much more. People should be able to figure out to take what they need & leave the rest behind.

Personally, I find those that cause the most trouble are those passive aggressive posters who insult, antagonise, and provoke while feigning cheer and cooperation.

And give terrible "advice", when they have YET to begin to really live the life

Wait, you mean I'm NOT supposed to have a shot of vodka in my protein shake every day???

No. You are supposed to knock back the shot, then use the protein drink as a chaser.

OR chocolate chips and coconut...so sorry :)
