I am going to get back on track again..

then why did you get a scar to go along with your diet?  I know, you thought it was a nice addition to your wardrobe.

After eating my crab rangoon, my beef out of my beef and brocoli, I barely have room for ice cream!!!!!!!  Poor me!

Seriously YOU need all the food you can get to fill that empty hole where a soul should be... Making fun of people's hair? making fun of people who have lost all of their hair??? making fun their surgery choice? taunting with ice cream??? IM the bad guy??? For attempting to HELP people see that YES they need to work the RNY. Once you have it youre stuck with it until revision, unless of course youre willing to put in the work, see above. Everyone *****ads Karen's posts knows she is low income and very unhappy with her post RNY weight loss. Yet you cheer her on to get the DS , which may take YEARS instead of encouraging her to live for the NOW!!! Tomorow is uncertain, live today. I DO have to say one thing... and maybe Im very wrong here, BUT making fun of of a black persons wig is really boardering on racism to me... Its certainly not the fault of black people that our racist white society has a thing against the 'fro. Maybe she's doing the tina thing (rather well I might add) maybe she's trying to blend in, and maybe she did lose all of her hair.. but I cant think of a reason that *I* would EVER even dream of talking to another human like that. If you are an example of the "good guys" Im HAPPY to be the ***** sad sad sad and patheticly sad PK

Are freakin kidding me!!!!!!!  BECAUSE she's black means her hair is off limits!!!!!!!!!!  I realize what you're saying about the name calling (don't agree really cause it's certainly going both ways) but to make a comment that saying something about her hair is racist is just plain reaching PK! 

When you wake up as a minority by your natural birth looks you can get back to me on what is reaching... around these here parts (and Im in sweet and loving maritime Canada) People with black curly hair have n***r knots... people actually say **** like that as if its OK... well I can tell you that IF you are black and want a job here, you best not look black, act black or do anything associated with black stereotypes, unless its play sports cause then youre cool...  Most black women do not have the time required to make their hair white people presentable. So they either get wigs, extensions, chemicals or shave it. Did you think that was just a coincidence? That most black women arent wearing their hair in a natural manner? Racial tension is as prevelant now as ever and white people are just as ignorant and useless in the debate. Its easy to see no problem when its not your problem..  Nothing ticks me off worse than child abuse or racism.. anything that even slided in close enough to sort of be child abuse or racism ticks me off.  Im ashamed to be white more often than not when I see the ignorance around me. Take a moment of your life and walk in the shoes of those who are different from you, it is a humbling experience we can all learn from...

Colour matters nothing to me so I don't automatically think the worst and frankly because you know absolutely NOTHING about me you can't really argue with me.  You typed a fine little post but who the hell are you to assume I wrote anything racist!  If I had said the same exact thing to a white person you wouldn't have given that little lecture. 

Actually you interupted my thought to Starry, you chose to get into it, you got it now get out if you cant handle it. Just because YOU dont think there is issue with it doesnt make it "ok". I actually said intitially "maybe Im wrong here but" as in this is MY opinion. Who am I to assume? Heck we ALL assume from every word we read on here, if we questioned everything without making some assumptions it would be a sloooow conversation. The point is is best to avoid language which makes you appear racially insensitive, which is the same as racism to me. You dont agree, that's your perogative. Im entitled to my opinion which I stated rather clearly without help of my words being twisted in any way thank you :) PK

Whatever. I have nothing more to say to you on the topic of racism because frankly what's the point...but if something else comes up I'm sure we'll gab again.

Dee is BLACK!?  Never noticed.  Noticed her over here applauding Viris calling me old shrivelled up corpse, tho.  She just called Starry old, too.  She deserves what she gets.  As far as Karen, yeh, she's exhausting.  But I still don't think telling someone with a failed RNY to work their tool is productive.

LeaAnn, I need to know, what do you mean by that, "exhausting"???

A failed RnY where the owner of said RnY continues to admit she does nothing to make the best of what IS working with the pouch while she waits for the DS white knight to come along and save her from herself....isn't that more like it - as long as the gloves are off, and we're being "real" with folks? A stretched pouch is about quantity - it's not about WHAT (protein, carb, fat) you put into your mouth or how it gets absorbed any differently than a non-stretched pouch.  There are people with stretched stomas (a more acute mechanical failure than your own case) who do fine while they get worked up for possible revisions - they pull  themselves up by the brain straps and look out for their health in the meantime.  Re-gain is not something that happens without your brain's express cooperation. Just sayin'.....shooting the messenger isn't going to change the reality of the situation.
