to the point that you are censored for what you say about the DS! Im sure

they must feel somewhat guilty for not doing all their research but there

are some who are happy with what they have. If you take a look at the ossg

hungry group you will see its filled with RNYers and they have a big problem

with weight regain and eating issues. I had one woman ask me upon sharing

what I could eat....she said " now why would you want to do that to your

body?? " (eating prime rib with baked potato etc......sounds like she was a

bit hungry??? I feel sorry for them! >>

I got told off but good by unsubbing from a list that was mostly RNYs. The

listowner wrote me a NASTY email after I unsubbed and said " maybe RNY isn't

for you, but did you think of telling them about the DS? " Now - why would I

tell people who already have the RNY about the DS? And why was that MY

responsibility if she already knew and she was the listowner?

I have heard others say " why would you do that to your body? " regarding

eating things other than what they think " should " be eaten. I do not

understand that line of thinking. Number 1 - if they are considering wls,

then they must have a weight problem, so why are they being judgemental about

what other people eat? These comments have come from people still in the

considering wls stage. Unless they are just skinny " plants " who are just

trying to keep making people with a weight issue feel guilty, even after they

have done something to correct it?? Or - I guess there are those out there

who think you must " suffer suffer suffer " for your sin of being over-weight

in order to lose the lbs. Maybe they are RNY surgeons?! Sounds like

something they would say!
