SusanMaria Stay Away!

AFTER READING & THINKING ABOUT THIS, MS LISA MARIE, I'M GONNA BORROW YOUR POST & POST IT & MY REPLY ON THE SC BOARD SO THEY & MY LCBBuddies KNOW HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THEM. THANKS FOR BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION. IT'S SO DISAPPOINTING TO FIND A "LEADER" WHO IS DEMONIZING US ... BEING OUTSPOKEN IS ONE THING, BUT WE ALL HAVE SUCH A HARD ROAD & TO HAVE ENEMIES FROM WITHIN OUR OWN GROUP ATTACK US SURE DOESN'T HELP. GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

ohh my who does she think she is? I had this surgery to save my life! I have worried about if i'm gonna be a failure at this, I have ate a few wrong things and worried the next day. BUT JUST LET ME SAY THAT I AM NORMAL!!!!!!!!! I went to my doc and he said that you can have whatever you want but just in moderation, i have not been able to eat a half a box of cereal,a half a pie, or 5 donuts. I am learning and this is something i have'nt had to do in my whole life. BUT NOW WITH THIS NEW TOOL I WILL MAKE THE MOST OF IT!!!!!!!! SO ALL OF MY FRIENDS HERE POST WHAT YOU DO WRONG,WE'RE ALL LEARNING..........OVER HERE WE DON'T FLAME!!!!!!!!!!! BUT I WILL NO WHERE I COME FROM, SHE IS NO BETTER THAN ANY OF US!!!!!!!................Vickie r.

I read SusanMaria's post. And I have to say that while some of it was a rant - she does go on about "us" versus "them", what I got out of it is that each one of us has to take responsibility for our own recovery and progress. No one force fed us junk food, carbs and sweets till we were obese. Likewise, no one is going to force feed us protein and vitamins till we reach our individual goals. BTW, i think that nectar stuff is horrible! just mho, jan laproscopic rny 10/25/05 -123 pounds

What post? Which month? This month's rant must have been removed. I want to read it but it want come up. Angie

Her rant is not there anymore, I started snooping around and found a post from SusanMaria regarding it. For some reason I can't send the link, but it's her "Let's be bigger people, lol, tough when we are trying to get smaller" post from March 30. She explains her opinions and why she wrote the rant much better there. I still wish she had said things differently to begin with. Marcia
