If it’s contemptuous to you, that could be a hint you are not acting in your own best interests. If having knowledge and sharing it is “peacocking,” then why are you here? You could go to Meso and get uneducated poor advice more in line with your thinking.

That’s not fair to MESO. Some of the guys are quite knowledgeable, albeit douché.

Ok, apologies. I guess the meatheads are just the loudest.

Well .. because not only is there a chance that he will listen to a kinder voice gently pointing him in the right direction .. there are going to be other people reading this thread who can benefit not only from his mistakes but our advice on how to deal with them after the fact if they have already done the same thing.

I have mentioned in several other posts that I completely understand the despair of obesity and desperation to lose weight. I mean I let a doctor cut out 80% of my stomach hoping that it would help me. It sounds completely insane if I allow myself to think about it too much. I have been obese for more than 25 years. So I get it. Now after all these years the idea of taking these shots and having the fat just melt away. Well .. that sure is a powerful dream isn't it? But as much as I would love to magically return to the size 6 I used to be before I had kids I also don't want to die trying to get there.

I get it. I’ve been obese since I was 3- my weight tripled in a month w/no diet or exercise changes. My pediatrician said I was fixin to have a growth spurt. I should be 8 or 9 feet tall. I have been on every diet known to man from the age of 8 onward. At 38 I had wls too, but not that one- I got a duodenal switch w/pancreatic diversion. Lost 120 lbs, kept it off, but was still obese. And my surgeon would not revise my surgery because having lost 120 lbs, I was deemed a “success.” Post DS, nothing worked to lose weight. Fortunately, nothing made me gain either… except 1 drug my gastroenterologist thought would “cure” my IBS- instead I just gained 50 lbs in 3 weeks. Then I found GLPs. They work!!! Yay! Even so, I lose slower than most of my contemporaries. Do I want to lose faster? Yes. Will I act recklessly? No. As much as I would like to reach my goal I don’t take crazy chances. And when given advice, I don’t refer to it condescendingly as “peacocking.” Yes, I’m a bitch. Sometimes. Mostly I’m just grumpy. And that isn’t changing. I’m old. I’m also extremely knowledgeable and have excellent critical thinking skills. I know my stuff and it gets really old reading all the posts I’ve seen where people got fat on layaway but expect to lose on a fire sale. What good is losing the weight if it causes permanent harm to your body? Many times I bite my tongue, but when you’re having bad side effects, want advice to add more drugs to the mix AND ask if you should continue titrating up? Could’ve done one or two, but add the last one and it was too much. I’ll be nice when he slows down and stops trying to kill himself. Or at least I’ll dial back to grumpy. And I’ll keep answering questions.. but use critical thinking guys- more is not always better. And throwing more chemicals into a bad reaction isn’t smart. Be smart. That’s all I’m asking in my extremely grumpy way. And if you can’t figure it out, ask. I’d rather answer a thousand questions beforehand than one after something goes south.
