Tomorrow's Oprah

Just in case anyone didn't see the preview, tomorrows Oprah is called "Suddenly Skinny". Its about wls patients and the new addicitions that replace food and take over their lives. One showed alcohol addiciton and another was a sex addicition. Anyway, it looked kind of interesting. Tracy B 328/150 5'9"

You so bad! From the previews it appears she is really into the one night stand. LOL. Melissa

Oh Kevin I so needed that laugh!

Good thing my hubby does no****ch Oprah!

Tracy, I wrote to Oprah . I explained to her while yes sometimes people who " suddenly become skinny " do exchange one addiction for another , it also needs to be said that there are issues that where there before surgery , that truly needed to be dealt with before going into it . Yes some do go see and get a physciatric examine prior to surgery , but speaking for myself , it does not go into how you are truly handling issues and your food addiction . I also told Miss Oprah that this surgery saves lives , as it did mine and her constant portrayal of this surgery being so damaging is getting old . I challenged her to look at it from ALL points .. and to air the good that it does . I explained to her that I took Dr.Phil out of my home due to his insensitive nature towards us , and I will do the same with her . I also told her that I did not have the money to afford a personal trainer that would wake me up , follow me around like the food police to get me skinny .. and that this surgery works . I dare her to take me up on the challenge . I will watch it .. hold my breath .. Oprah does a world of good for people . She is very influential ... I just for one time want to see her do something positive with this surgery .. God knows I would be dead with out it . And Tracy .. thanks for letting me rant again .. LOL .. Hugs, Natalie

I agree with you and I'm so glad that you wrote to her! There is good and bad in everything and wls was all good for me! It gave me my life back and fortunately I haven't become an alcoholic or sex addict b/c of it! I do have some "weirdly obsessive" things that I do now, but I guess looking back I've always had a bit of OCD, LOL! Thanks for your input and post back here again after the show with your thoughts if you have time. Tracy B

I will definatley let you know my feelings on it . And as to addictions .. I would say the only one I inherited was shopping ... not just shopping but Mega Woman SHopping . It has bitten me.. but I know my limits .. LOL .. SO look for me after the show .. Hugs, Tink
