Lordy, this is EXACTLY why I don't want to have a RNY - it's like having

surgery for the PRIVILEDGE of being on a diet. 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!!

Hmmm...weirdly informative.

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!

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!

No, I've always felt that term to be creepy too, one of the biggest turnoffs

for me for the RNY. I read all those rules too, and I think I might have

flunked them had I had that surgery.

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... "

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..

You devil.. wandering thoughts, indeed!! :o) ..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.
