Eating with a DS: A Day in the Life (pics!)
That is the issue. CHOICE!
Lots of people never make the choice of which surgery is best for them because they don't do their research and most surgeons feed them bull**** lines about surgery types, esp the types of WLS's that they don't do.
DSer's are proactive in spreading the word because we want to make sure people realieze that we have a choice, You don't have to accept what the first surgeon tells you is best. You need to think about what is best for you and your lifestyle and then review the surgery types.
We do it as public education, If even one pre-op read this post and researched the Ds and other surgery types then the post has served it's purpose.

That is a gross amount of food.I am glad you had DS and can eat all that. I never ate that much before surgery.
Why do DS'ers always have to try and prove they are better or eat better or superior or whatever it be. Who cares what surgery anyone had as long as they are HAPPY with their own choice and journey.
Yesterday's Meal Plan:
Protein Shake (Before the gym)
Brunch- 3 oz filet mignon (left over from Sat dinner out), 1/4 cup egg beaters, 1 oz LF cheddar cheese, 1/4 bagel w/dab of Smart Balance
D- Zucchini casserol with homemade maranara sauce, MSF veggie crumbles, mushrooms, and LF mozzarella cheese, with 1 oz (dry weight) cooked low carb pasta
S- 1/2 cup fresh strawberrys & blueberries
The point is, we eat what we need to eat to fit into the surgical choices we make to best suit our lifestyle. I've read Jenna's posts since at least after our surgeries (on the same day). She is never anything but helpful and encouraging. I've yet to see something that she's written as antagonizing or superior.
