Think this may be my last reply to any posts as i get fed up of being shot down. I was giving my opinion to which we are entitled not judging. But just feels that the moment i do some particular person comes in with all guns blaizing.
Will keep my fingers still in future, as i mustent show concern!!!!

Noone has shot you down, but just think how your post reads to someone new that comes along looking to see about WLS they could be under the misconception that if they have something off norm that they are doing something seriously wrong...it goes both ways but none of us should dictate what another person eats we are all different nor should we jump on them I thought your post was a bit quick to jump on the poster and could of been worded slightly better..we are all entitled to our opinions and thats why I posted mine....one ritz cracker is not the be all and end all, at the end of the day its up to the person eating it that is doing it...basically what I am trying to say if people should not be so quick to judge others that may not be as able to follow the guidelines as much as others...and as I am the "particular person" you are referring to you will remember that last time I made comment was over a stupid remark you made my guns are not blazing.....

Disclaimer - This is my personal opinion and not aimed at offending anyone.

Both PG and HC had a fair point to make. I wish someone had pointed out to me early on that I needed to consider more what I ate. The whole principal of only eating things of nutritional value is an extremely valid one and one that I wish I'd heard of earlier. If HC's post ensures that other pre-op and just post-op patients are more aware of that principal then that is a good thing.

I don't think that either HC or PG intended to offend or bite anyones heads off. Both are extremely caring people who's main aim on here is to give back the support that they received, and to help other people to learn the lessons any post op patient has to learn without having to do it the hard way.

It is very easy to misinterpret the written word, and to forget that behind every post is a person. My personal philosophy is to always believe that every person has a positive motive for everything they do, be it speech, action or writing.

Sometimes a poster needs to check the way they say things as it can come across as being patronising...some folk on here seem to think they know better than anyone else and by that I mean a very small majority, we are all adult human beings and we will all try to do things in our own way....I will not apologise for what I have said and whilst HC is obviously upset maybe the person reading her post was also upset at being shot down. We all know healthy eating is the way forward but we are humans not saints. This matter is now closed as far as I am concerned.
