One more reason not to get the lap band...
* footnote* and no one who is pre-op or newly out listen to this:
I have NEVER LOW CARBED IT AND I WEIGH 130 LBS WITH A BMI OF 22
There is no obesity still in my life. I have 10 lbs. to lose. Yup, I out ate my DS a bit with "only" 95.5% of my EWL (a MEGA success by ANY WLS standards). Just think how I would've demolished a lapband! THAT is why the DS is a miracle. Because I never worked a tool, I maintain magically, and I am a NORMAL size 11/12 as is Diana. Maybe you have a problem with NORMAL-size, but I do not, and I'm sure many would give their eye teeth to look like me. You are what's wrong with society -- trying to make normal, beautiful women feel they aren't good enough because they aren't UNDER weight! You can shove that nonsense up your ass.
What is your size, preytell? Where is your photo? You can't do anything but troll anonymously to happy people on a message forum. You suck out loud.
What about you? Of course, it is clear from your postings that you aren't even a DSer at all (your syntax in saying "this is common knowledge that the DS diet consists of high protein and lo carbs" demonstrates that YOU don't know this from your own experience).
I have lost over 80% of my excess weight (and I am measuring the EW as what would put me at a BMI under 25 [150], not the 10 lbs heavier that I would prefer to be [160]). I still have plastics to go, and I have told I have 15+ lbs of skin to remove. At age 55, my skin did NOT snap back, and most of my weight was carried in my thighs and butt. But those same thighs and but are in size 10 pants.
LeaAnn is taller and thinner than me. NOBODY would call her a "big girl," especially not in the hateful tone you used. She is considerably thinner than my size 10!
ALL WLS patients have to watch their carbs during the weight loss phase, especially the sugar, except the numerous lucky DSers who don't even have to do that. Some of us DSers, including me, do watch our carbs while maintaining, to a modest extent. But I DON'****ch my fat, and that makes ALL the difference.
So go f*ck yourself, you lying b*tch.

Please feel free to ask me any questions as I am 5 years out and I have a much better quality of life now than I did before surgery. LeaAnn is not heavy. Since when is a size 10 heavy? Diana is not heavy either. I've seen lots of pictures of them both lately and they both have lost an obvious amount of weight. Diana hasn't even had any plastics. I usually don't get involved in any of this stuff but you are so glaringly obvious in your trolldom it's kind of pathetic.
