I have also been punished ad naseum from all my Dr.s telling me to diet diet diet - starve, count calories, keep a food list to take into them to show them exactly what I was eating. Ya know - when I was about 15 or 16, I had to do this for a Dr. who was obese himself. Well, here i was literally starving, prob eating 500 calories a day (this was back before they knew about carbs and it was all the BS about a pound being put on by 2500 calories or some nonsense like that) well, I had eaten ONE LOUSY banana during the week and he gave me hell over that! I can still remember the moment in his office, what he was wearing, how he yelled at me. I swear it was prob the only thing he could yell about because out of those 7 days I probably didn't sway once - but cheech! a banana!? I've had enough suffering because of my weight and no one can MAKE me get the RNY. I just thank God I found out about DS before I got cut up and had a " pouch " and had to worry about plugging up my " stoma " - I even hate those words!
