Eating with a DS: A Day in the Life (pics!)
In no way does your food look like a "gross" abundance. In fact, it looks quite normal. As one person said, to a new RNY'r of COURSE it would be a lot. I notice though, those who have an issue with it........are all relatively new into their RNY journey and think imposed control is going to be on their side forever.
Lemme jus' say.......wait until 4 to 5 years out when they too can eat way more "normal" amounts of food and every. darn. day. is. a. struggle.
I'm holdin my own at 140 pounds with 130 having been lost. Have not gone through the normal rebound weight gain.....but that's because I crazy fight it.
If a DS would have made my life a little easier......I'd have signed up! Just sayin!

Jenna, I think your thread is fantastic!
I am gobsmacked by the folks who claim that they never ate the same quantity (didn't you say less than 9 oz spread over more than half an hour?) even before wls. That just does not make sense to me. Maybe they didn't eat the same high fat foods, but to say they always ate less than 9 oz per meal? I really have a hard time with that.
Anyway, I think your post is very educational and I am all for spreading the truth about DS so that EVERYONE who is thinking about WLS can make an informed decision.
I know it took a lot of your time to do this, but if you ever have the time and desire to do it again I think it would be incredibly great and beneficial.
Kudos to you!
