Anyone following this?

http://store.bariatriceating.com/thismonthsrant.html vs http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/postdetail/1866450.html?vc=0 Of course I have an opinion about the whole thing ... just like everyone else, but maybe that's better kept to email rather than taking up further forum space with it. BUT ... since $ are being spent in the (first site's) direction ... just thought you all might want to follow this. Happy Friday everyone!!! Myra

Myra, Yeah Ive been following this.. I seen the rant when it first went up.. Ive also got my opinion but Ive been good about keeping it to myself.. No use adding to all the hate really.. I think everyone has pretty much covered it.. Normally I dont let things get to me, but I have to admit- This one I took personal.. Not everyone is nasty, negative, and ugly on OH... Personally Ive found some great friends here (mainly this board) and I also realize that people have bad days... Im not seeking a perfect positive message board- Im seeking reality and support.. Which is what I get here... Kicked when I need it, hugged when its called for, and general support all the time.. what more could a person ask for?? Amber

Amber ... ditto!! So ... store both of these for when you need them .. ok? 'This is to certify that Amber is entitled to: "One Swift Kick in the Patootie" (for when she needs it) personally sent to her by MJBG (Myra) ***Note ... these will be distributed only one-at-a-time and only when necessary*** "Unlimited Hugs and Steadfast Support" (for every day) personally sent to her by MJBG (M... oh well you know who!) ***Note ... this a lifetime offer and cannot expire as long as supply lasts (ie. my lifetime! )***' Sent with a (((Huge HUG))) ***not to be deducted from the aforementioned lifetime offer***. Myra Oh ... and these are also available to anyone else here who might be in need of them!!

Myra, Ohh you have no clue how badly I need kicked in the butt lately... Yeah Im getting daily exercise but Ive had "Hungry Hippo" days for almost a week straight.. Not matter what I try to eat its just not enough.. Ive been starving for days.. I eat until Im full and then an hour later Im starving again!! So what do I do?? EAT!! I havent gained any weight at all, but I havent lost any either.. Im not sure what all this hunger is about but hopefully it works itself out soon! Atleast Im making pretty good food choices... Ive upped my protein to 100-120g a day.. My water is up to 100oz.. so Im not doing too badly- Im just starving.. Im calling my NUT Monday to find out if I need to adjust my diet again.. Amber

Myra & Amber Wow man I am too stunned for words. I cant believe that someone who has went thro WLS would act that way. That was one of the things I have talked about with family & friends. Is that I dont ever want to forget where I came from. And to always have compassion for others out there that either cant get WLS or just dont want it. And it be an inspiration to others here on OH. I cant and dont get inspired by someone who has had WLS and has never had any problems at all ie: dumped, protein problems, stomach problems, no energy, not exerciseing, hair loss, ect. I wanna know when I am myself (not perfect) human and I fall flat on my face there are people out there that have been thro it also. I feel so sorry for her!!!!! Love Melissa

Jerome is great, isn't he, Sandra ... soooooo helpful ... daylight and dark the difference in Unjury's customer service and BariatricEating ...(had a horrible conversation with one of their customer reps ... and basically got told off by him). Needless to say, NOT buying there again, and that was *before* all this came up. Oh well .. just meant to say YEP, Jerome's great! Myra

Hi Myra, Being new to this site I don't know who this person is? Mary

Myra, I don't know what to say other than I really felt that Susan Marie's book really helped me after WLS...I am grateful...I still make many of the recipes...I'm sorry things have turned out like this. Lori

Lori, I've got her book too, and it's been helpful ... I can't decide why she's taken this tack, but it just doesn't seem right at all. Some on the main board are saying it's simply a ploy to get more hits on her message board ... ... who knows? All I *do* know is it's a disappointing thing when someone in her position (ie. admired by so many WLS patients) projects a message like she has in her rant. My decision not to buy there was made *before* all this today ... and on the basis of two orders that, when received, weren't what was advertised and, when I complained to her customer service, I was basically *told off* by a "gentle"man and talked to as if I was a dunce. That was the day I decided my dollars could be spent elsewhere. I did write a letter to her giving her the *heads up* on how I was treated by her employee, but, not expecting a response from her by then, I haven't been surprised by not getting one. I'm sorry things are like they are too. M

That's pretty arrogant of someone making a living off WLS patients! Personally I would find it very difficult to send her any of my money, she seems very fake to me. She doesn't mind writing books and selling products to us (apparently we're good enough to throw money at her) but in the same breath she tells us how we are whinning, sniveling, complainers and how we need attitude adjustments??!! The first word that comes to mind when I read her rubbish is HYPOCRITE!! You know what if I want to spend money on FAKE people I'll buy a ticket to the movies!! No THANKS she will not see one penny of my money! Thanks for bringing this to my attention Myra. Hugs, Jamie
