You know missy, you don't know what the h*ll you are talking about. I always eat protein. I love meat, chicken, port, and lamb. I have never shortchanged myself on protein. Oh yeah, and cheese, yum. I never said I went gung ho off track, just doing some little carbs, but at least 90% of it was whole wheat. When I said I was going back on track, I meant jus****ching it a bit more closely. Unfortunately, I cannot exercise cause of my severe degenerative spinal stenosis and herniated disc and that is my really big current problem. And I do go to the RnY board a few times a week and have even responded to people. You don't know me so I don't see where you have the right to attack me. I certainly don't know who you are and what are you doing on our DS board if you only want to attack someone trying to get their obesity under control. I know revision surgery is more risky, but I feel and so do my doctors that the RnY was NOT the right surgery for me and I say it again, I WANT TO DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME! Go attack one of your own kind and don't mess with me again!

Karen, I would guess that you are being attacked because you routinely go to other forums and offend people and they are tired of it. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how often these RNY vs DS threads are started by Karen as a result of her going to another board and starting some s*it then running back here for support? I personally stopped posting here because of HER I know I could just block her but i was amazed that everyone just jumped to her defense when she was DEAD WRONG!!!!!!!!!! I understand and appreciate the desire to educate others on the benefits of the DS because I have to admit that I wish I had known about the DS when I had my RNY in 2000. I may have made a different choice however there is a big difference in recruiting and educating for the DS and that is exactly what you (karen) do. Do you realize people are calling you a cult leader? That is sad because it implies that the actual post op DSers are your followers!!!! (and I think it is pretty safe to say that you are not leading anyone or anything) There are so many positive people on this board that do not deserve to be thought of that way. On a final note, I know you have some health issues that prevent you from obtaining and maintaining employment but you might want to consider recruiting professionally. Thats what I do and while I'm in Ohio recovering from my revision I am able to do it from my sofa!!!!!!! Shawnta

Yeah, who in the heck said that?? Ya think I am being too forward when I spout off how I like the DS better, but I always tell everyone to pick their surgery, but only after reading about ALL of them.

Well if PK's message was delivered the exact same way as her post here I can't say I find anything mean in there. She also has a valid point about if you were to say those same things about the DS here in this forum...people would blow a gasket. {{HUGS KAREN}}

Yes PlumpKitty has self-appointed herself the food police and tries to make everyone feel inferior. If we could eat right, we wouldn't have needed WLS, right?! Now, SOME get so high and mighty because they are in "new convert glow" stage and haven't slipped back into old habits yet. But someday they will, and their RNY won't cover the damage that is bound to occur with that. That's when they'll have their regain, and newly self-appointed food police will chastize them for being a "failure." See how the cycle works?

Water, poodle's back, Karen. (((KAREN))) Just be glad you found this non-judgmental support group where we all remember how we got fat to begin with and understand the need for a REAL fix to our obesity, not just yet another diet with a "tool!"
