Sure they are allowed to have their opinion, but an uneducated opinion is what erked me in the first place! It wasn't so much that they said it, it was the way it was said, and the way that is was emphasized by both Rosie and Joy. Mindy-- I too find that I make comments to myself about people who are overweight etc even though I was once in their shoes... it just goes to show that no one is perfect! :D

I WAS TOTALLY ADDICTED TO REGULAR COKE:tired . IF SHE THINKS GIVING UP THAT WAS EASY SHE IS CRAZY. I GUESS AN EASY WAY OUT W/ WLS WOULD BE IF I COULD STILL EAT LIKE I USED TO AND WATCH THE FAT MAJICALLY MELT AWAY WHILE I STUFF ANOTHER BROWNIE IN!!:heh: WHEN THEY INVENT THAT I'LL SIGN UP FIRST!!

REALLY THOUGH, THIS IS A STRUGGLE TO CHANGE OUR ATTITUDES AND WAY OF LOOKING AT food FOR LIFE. THAT IS NOT EASY AT ALL FOR ANYONE, WHETHER THEY HAVE A LAP BAND OR NOT:phanvan .

IF I STILL DRANK 4-5 REGULAR COKE'S A DAY...HOW MUCH WOULD I HAVE LOST..........:D:) ...........NOTHING!!!! HOW IS THIS THE EASY WAY OUT? ROSIE AND THE VIEW ARE JUST STUPID AND UNEDUCATED ON THE SUBJECT OBVIOUSLY!!

JUST MY 2CENTS!!:)

Hey, no offense taken :D I am still in the process of learning and losing (still a fat gal :) )

I am learning that there are so many ways to look at things and this is a great venue for bouncing ideas off others then hearing constructive ways to look at them differently. Thanks Mindy for your candor.

I am not sure how anyone could call surgery the easy way out. I have struggled with weight my whole life, literally,, 9lb baby,,, I am tired of being the fat girl and having people look at me differently. Maybe if the sterotype that everyone should be a size 4 would go away, we would not have to stress out so bad about our weight.

It is sad that people are judged for trying to get healthy.... I don't think rosie and joy realize all the therapy and test you have to go through to even qualify for surgery. I am really dissapointed in the comments they made.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
