    Update 3: RNY to DS healing (long)

    What kind of asshole employer fires you while you're in the hospital fighting for your life?! I read that and was aghast! oh well.. onwards and upwards. I'm a firm believer of "everything happens for a reason" and you will come out of this stronger and with a better career and life. Keep on truckin!

    so are you saying DS'ers can pretty much eat what they want to? I mean i know that certain foods have a differing affect on some but not others... but i'm hearing that as long as your stomach can take it, you can eat it. am i correct in this assumption?

    Thanks Larra :)

    Options? hmm.. i haven't much. If i could lose this on my own with the other options i have tried then i wouldn't be considering this. I guess the only other option would be to just remain fat... i don't like the sound of that either. I've been through 2 C-sections! i got this right? i guess...

    WOW that chart is absolute GOLD! Thank you for sharing it with me.. Also i appreciate the empathy when it comes to hurting feet! MY GOD my feet kill me at work.

    Thank you southernlady. :) i have been reading a lot. i don't plan on stopping any time soon. I find i get obsessed with research, (i'm a writer, it's my forte') plus i want to be armed with as much knowledge as possible when i meet with my doctor and look for a surgeon. Happy Holidays
