I would like to voice my opinion....

I may not be very popular for saying this, but it needs to be said...... I see many people here who are still eating tacos, pizza, sub way sandwiches, honey, potatoes, breads, pastas and frozen TV dinners and seem to think it is perfectly fine to do so.... I feel these people are slipping down a slippery slope, right back to their old weight, and old habits. I hear them justify their eating choices, make excuses, and say they only eat these things "sometimes". I see people here who are only 2 or 3 or 4 weeks post surgery already eating solid foods like pizza. Why go through the expense and time and pain of surgery only to go back to your old eating habits?? I feel people who do that are lying to themselves.... I know what it is to lie to yourself about what you're eating; I have been doing it for the past 25 years. I'll be damed if I'm going to have gone through this surgery and just screw it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will continue a simple diet of tuna, chicken, low-fat cheeses, eggs, beans, and veggies, and to those who want to continue to eat carbs and sugars and honey and pizza and tacos and bagels - that's your business, but please don't tell the "newbies" here on OH.com to do the same, or tell them it's somehow "ok", or not "so bad", or tell them, "do I eat this?, yes, should you, no"..... Obviously, most people who post replies here are not doing this; but some are. May be it's not my place to say, but I am merely voicing my opinion. If you can not encourage people to eat right and follow the rules, then I think you should refrain from posting a reply to the questions in the Q&A section here. Thanks
