DS math
WOW...
It sounds like I really missed out on something good by having the RNY instead of the DS! You get to eat 3000 calories a day, don't exercise, and still lose weight?
And the only side effect is killer gas?
Man... I really missed the boat!!! I'm slaving away on the elliptical and eating 4 ounce meals over here! I am PISSED that my insurance didn't cover DS so I didn't even research it.
Oh well... I'm losing weight, and exercising kinda feels good once you get the hang of it. :)
However, I will say this... if I gain it back (WHICH I HOPE I NEVER EVER DO!!!!) I'm totally considering a revision to the DS. :)
Ok... I"m done.
Food is one of life's greatest pleasures. You, me and ALL OF US obviously LIKE it. Fat has a lot of calories. Fat gives flavor to food. If I could've stopped eating fat, I wouldn't have needed WLS. I do NOT PREFER low fat foods. I don't want to be FORCED to eat that which I will not thoroughly enjoy. If you want to PUNISH yourself by FORCING a certain diet upon yourself, then be my guest. Me, I'll go for FAT being free calories, thanks.

I find this post interesting,,, why would you WANT to continue eating "yummy fat"?? Isn't that what made you become obese in the first place? I must admit, I am a little scared of the foamies, and dumping, however, I WANT to change my eating patterns. I would think that one would want to change the way you look at food, not just mask it with some surgical procedure. I am sorry but eating 3000 calories a day and not exercising, isn't addressing any of the issues as to why someone would become obese in the first place. I like the fact that the RNY will FORCE me to change my eating habits, and I don't look at dumping as a punishment, rather a reaction from a unhealthy behavior. I hope you understand what I mean, and I respect your choice to have the ds and to tell others about it, just maybe you should wait for someone to ask, rather than just preach your choice to everyone. And to Jade, I have always leanded your way on many issues, but it is getting a little extreme at this point. You need to find something better to do with your time than stir the pot, and keep bringing up crap that the rest of us would just like to go away. We all want to lose weight, and everyone has the right to do so, in their own way!
From my inbox just now:
Had it not been for you and people like Diana I would have never known about the DS. Don't ya'll dare shut up or be pushed away by people like Jade. When I see reactions like hers and that plumpkitty gal I secretly (and with a little guilt) think "Ahhhh so they got suckered in by an RNY mill and are regretting it, otherwise why do they protest so much".
Don't stop.
