I don't want to have to count calories and fat grams, etc. etc. for the rest of my life! If I were so good at counting calories and the " cost " involved and keeping track of how many ounces of this and that, I would have been a whiz at weight watchers!!

It just doesn't compare to the DS rules does it? I have the willies after reading " rules " like....Watering your pouch, eat your entire meal in 5 - 15 minutes, no longer than 5 hours between meals, fluid loading, etc. And is it just me who finds the term " pouch " to be creepy in itself? Some doctors say that DS patients are too attached to their pyloris and put it on a pedestal? I'll keep my pyloris, (on a mental pedestal), thank you very much!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 I am absolutely positive I would not have lasted too long with any success if I had the RNY. I too find the term " pouch " creepy. The whole idea gives me the willies. The other thing that gets me is that some RNYers consider dumping a bonus of their surgery. Yuck!

I read all those rules too, and I think I might have flunked them had I had that surgery.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 All I know is when I was finished reading the article, my first thought was to use as my mantra, " The pouch is good.... hmmmmmm... the pouch is good " over and over. Or, " I pledge alligence to my pouch...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 I posted this to PostOp_Friends: Hmmmm... " Rules of the Pouch, " huh? I wonder if the author's mind was not drifting to other thoughts: " This important fact essentially shows that it is NOT the size of the pouch but how it is used that makes weight loss maintenance possible. " Another " size doesn't matter " ramble...<evil grin> Note, also, some mis-information: " At three months, the patient needs to become aware of the calories per gram of different foods to be aware of " the cost " of each gram. (cheddar cheese is 16 cal/gram; peanut butter is 24 cals/gram). " Fat has about 9 calories/gram. How, then, can cheese or peanut butter exceed that by so much? --Steve -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 Steve.. You devil.. wandering thoughts, indeed!! ) ..lol!! I wonder if the 'pouch' person was using the term grams as per volume instead of weight, or visa versa i.e. heavy food vs big food?? Maybe Im crazy, but this occured to me.
