Happy Saturday Cali

Maria I do not think you are sounding like a snob at all. I mean for me....I am glad I choose the RNY because it has its limitations...or at least for me. I do not know if I would have even liked the lapband personally....and then there is a whole controversy about the DS too.

You know and this is just my humble open, I think people make ignorant assumptions is what I find...and sometimes downright rude really. I try and take the approach that my mother use to say when neighbors would get divine pleasure about ratting my brother and me out...."IF you don't have anything nice to say....don't say it at all."

As far as this being a cookie cutter fad diet solutions people are sorely mistaking. Recently this gal I know her mother has been saying negative things about have gastric bypass....loves to throw it up around me that....o so and so have you seen her? She gained all her weight back..and she had a gastric bypass. I want to slam dunk the woman, but hold my words.

I will be 6 years out this week Maria...and I have worked very hard to get to where I am at. Last year I did indeed have a slip and gained 25 lbs. However I grabbed the bull by horns and lost it and went on to lose nearly 30 more pds and feel great.

Please do not let negative comments impede the route you are taking to become healthier. It is your choice what surgery you have.....and here is another thing....when people say they can do whatever they want after wls in terms of food....to me that is not always a total committ in my eyes to wanting to be healthier. To me and this is my humble opinion it is about still being able to push the envelope and not fully dealing with the issues of what made them obese...and that was their/my lack of control of me emotions when it came to food.

Today I eat to live not live to eat!

If my comments have offended anyone...I do not apologize. I speak my own truth and not a truth for all. So if you want to slam my comments....and I am not talking you Maria....slam away because sticks and stones break my bones....your negative words have little meaning to me.

I am here to support people no matter what their choice is with what type of surgery...and I support good eating habits post wls....and not pushing to see what I can have and cannot have.

Have a great weekend Maria....and keep on posting!
