Oops-I see she's had the procedure and has lost tons of weight. Sorry Brooklyngirl! I had confused you and Jerseygirl. Hehe! JG I hope you reconsider but, as you well know, the proverbial ball is in your court. You can take the path we ALL took for years, either flailing about wildly diet to diet in a vain attempt to solve our morbid obesity, or getting serious and choosing a plan that actually works. Surely you didn't think that achieving the amount of weight loss you can with DS, would come without a price? If so....silly rabbit!! NOTHING truly great in our lives comes for free. Great relationship? You can bet your ass there's a human being with frailties and less than noble traits that will drive you crazy at times. Good job? Yeah, except for that one psychotic manager seemingly devoted to making everyone work harder than they need to. It's just a matter of doing an HONEST cost benefit analysis of the rewards and costs, and making a decision based on the facts. As for "she who herds cats" and many others here who may express themselves forcibly or even a tad acerbically here, please try to receive it in the spirit it was given. She IS TRYING TO HELP YOU! There is no other logical reason for someone to take valuable time out of their busy day to communicate truths here, than because they have chosen to pay it forward by posting their experiences, knowledge, etc for others to learn from.
Look, I'm a 52 yr old man who's worked with frequently violent patients for 32 yrs. (yes I too am in the healthcare field). I've never been afraid to take a violent person down if necessary, and have basically been known as a "take no crap from anyone" kind of guy. That being said, I am wise enough to know that when it comes to this subject-I am a child. I willingly sit at the feet of others who haven't just read a thing or 2 about DS-they have lived it! Many here would qualify as expert witnesses in actual court, not to mention the court of public opinion. So, a simple suggestion if I may. Why not try to be humble and just accept that while you+I are relative novices, Elizabeth, Southernlady, Diana and many others are EXPERTS. Enjoy the FREE knowledge they willingly impart.
