Is there a thread on this site for folks that are serious about losing weight?
Ohhhhh...Honey, Honey Honey....It ain't your call.
Didn't you know that anyone of any nationality and background can pick up any baby form any other nationality and tell by facial expressions alone what the emotions are of the baby?
It's brain stem level honey...you have no choice....you have emotions just like the rest of us....you just have decided...most likely long ago.....that you would not face them.....just like the rest of us .... thus the overeating, drinking, drugs, shopping, gambling anything....anything...to not face down the emotions...like normal folks have to. Not your fault. It is usually locked in as a defence long before we are adults and have the capacity to reason clearly and face minor and major emotions ... then shrug ...and get on with happiness or peace ..or self respect or what ever. Thing is that it is never too late apparently. We all can go back and give it another shot.
Thing is...once you do...you find out that it was all a waste of time and it wasn't all that bad after all....even women with severe emotional and sexual abuse trama from childhood [where most of our emotional devices get locked in] can be truely happy.

Ever heard of the duodenal switch? The folks who have the DS as opposed to the RNY severely malabsorb fats, and therefore have to eat a LOT more of it to be able to properly absorb the fat soluble vitamins. They don't suffer any high cholesterol or heart disease as a result, and don't absorb the calories from this fat, either, as it primarily goes through them undigested.
This recipe is a DSer's dream, and is perfectly healthy for them - and they REALLY want to lose weight - SERIOUSLY.
I can't help but notice you're a NON-OP, so I wonder how you could possibly know more about WLS than the people who have had it? Why question experienced WLSers about anything, if you think you know it all already?
If you want "serious" recipes for weight loss, but one from Weigh****chers. SERIOUSLY.

I'll leave get out of your way now, since you're clearly too stupid to get out of your own way.
Regarding the duodundinal switcherroony...I went to the web site and have a couple questions? If you are going to put up with oily crapy anal discharges with foul smelling oders in church....why wouldn't you just have the surgeon run a tube from your mouth right out your a ss? That why you can not change one damn thing about yourself, continue to mow down like a hog and continue to be mean nasty person with low self esteem who posts before they read everything. You probably do that in person too? Ya?
Anyway from the douodendumal web site about eating: Note: Not one thing about gettin' your fill on Lard Rolls!!!

So? are you done yet missy?
"Common sources of protein are lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, cheeses, yogurt, legumes and nuts. As tempting as it is to eat that salad or potato, it is vital that you eat your protein first, then if you’ve any room left, eat the carbohydrates.
Protein is also available in the form of liquid concentrates, powders and bars. These can be found at most health food stores, like GNC. These items are a terrific way to boost your protein intake, and the liquids, and powders made into smoothies, may be easier for you to digest
