Topic: Unfortunate News
Hello all,
We had an OH member and fellow patient to pass away recently. Ralohna Nesby was a beautiful 37 year old wife and mother of twin 14 y.o. girls. She was a hair stylist and lived in Carrollton, GA.
Ralohna had RNY in July 2008 with Dr. Clarence Hixson. By mid to late 2009 she was unable to ingest food and had a balloon procedure to stretch her pouch/stoma. The procedure didn't work, so in January 2010 she had surgery to repair her pouch and stoma. Shortly thereafter, in March 2010, she had a tummy tuck to remove excess skin. Her weight loss had been very successful, and she lost 247 pounds in less than two years.
She was again hospitalized in August 2010 suffering a collapsed lung. She passed away on November 14, 2010. This is so unfortunate for her and her family. She was only able to enjoy her life for such a short time after losing 247 pounds. If you'd like to read her obituary, you can do so here:

Ralohna and I graduated from high school together, but had lost touch over the years. Please pray for her family, especially her young girls.

Topic: RE: Now back to work...
My scale read 158 this morning!
Worth day after KFC potty breaks?
YEP
Eating 9 wings AND ranch and still losing weight
PRICELESS
Rolanda, remember when you were early out and were struggling to get down 1 egg, and I told you, you would be scarfing down a 10 piece or a McDouble meal pretty soon. Seemed unbelievable at the time huh?
That's what's awesome about DS, that you can eat like a normal person, and still be thin. Even, indulge in sinful fatty, sugary food in moderation.
I just still don't get how a vsg would keep the weight off because we can eat SO MUCH volume?
Must be some serious dieting going on for vsg to work? I would so break a vsg in like a quick minute because I have 0 willpower.
BTW your DS get's less sensitive as you are further out. I find I have to add extra butter, mayo, oil into my diet now just to keep things flowing.
I LOOOOVE MY DS
I still don't get why anybody would want any other wls? Just seems like such a no brainer.

Mine either, girlfriend. I had nine fried hotwings dipped in ranch sauce. They went in as a solid and came out in a much different form.

Yep, same here. My vitamin schedule has been about three hours behind every day because I've been sleeping in, but I've done really well with getting protein up and carbs down. I ate out three days in a row just before the snow arrived---Ruby Tuesday, Ru Sans sushi buffet, and KFC. Wow that did a number on my guts, so I've been really good during this week of home confinement.

Topic: RE: Groupon $19 for $40 worth of vitamin and supplement certificate through Monday
I tried a sample pack of Jay Robb's vanilla egg white protein mix, but I have a stock pile of other whey isolates for now. Vitamin Shoppe had Jay Robb protein bars on the clearance table, but the carbs were too high.
I use the Isopure unflavored powder mixed in sauces and wet foods---works well. The ready-to-drink 20 oz Isopure that was on clearance was orange flavor and tastes a lot like orange Hi-C to me. They had 5 bottles and I got all of them.
