Anyway, thanks for the help getting back on track (even though some of you have quite a judgemental tone... seriously! Lighten up a bit!) I do appreciate the time it takes to type all that out and remind me of the lessons I learned during the last year pre-op.

Most often the written language fails to convey so many aspects of human communication - which is especially true on forums. I have read that 90% of our communication is non-verbal: eye-contact, facial expression, accent, mood, body language, perception of confidence, and gestures - just to name a few. It is amazing really what you can surmise about a person from the clothes they wear, to the car they drive, to the way they carry themselves, and by the way they verbalize their thoughts.
So much of that is absent in a forum such as TT. The people here either are obese or have been, and as such, have often been the object of judgemental people. Also, I note, and for the same reason, many obese people are particularly sensitive to it.
I rather doubt anyone meant to give you offense. In re-reading what was written, it seems to me more of an analytical thing about what you were doing than anyone trying to be critical of you as a person. There is a big difference. You just had surgery, and had a premature stall. That is counter-intuitive, you must admit. But often a stall happens about 3-4 wks out.
I'm quite certain no offense was intended.
But in reading your recent post, It seems you are on track and in the groove now. Congratulations! If you follow those simple VSG rules, the weight will melt off over the coming weeks.
And welcome to TT. I was wondering about what happened with you.
