Has anyone watched the Series - My 600 Pound Life? These people get the gastric bypass...do a lot of sugar dumping....get frustrated at the new lifestyle which is actually eliminating the sugar and when able, begin to exercise, then quit. The doctor on the show seems to be somewhat strict and says that about 5% of the people actually are successful. It's even more sad when the spouses are not very supportive.
The doctor tells them to loose about 30 pounds one month prior to their next visit. So, some do lose the 30 pounds. Then he will consider them for the bypass. Isn't it funny that they have shown themselves that they can lose the weight but still go through the bypass.
There is a segment on FTS forum that I believe stated that you actually loose so many years of life by getting this dangerous procedure done.
This one lady would drink carbonated soda, even though she was told that it would be painful, it would stretch her stomach, and prohibit
weight loss. Even though she would go through a certain amount of pain, she said It wouldn't last long and that she was giving herself a reward, as she had just gone though an exercise training session.
So, my question is, is this the reason why these folks put the weight all back on.....they get used to the pain, the vomiting, and struggle through it and essentially have a painful workaround to get fat again?
This gal was eating tuna and avocado - I was so proud of her, as that is what I will have for lunch. But, her husband was verbally abusive and she had to plow her way though a lot of emotional barriers around him. He likes fat woman, so her losing the weight wasn't on his agenda for her.
Thought I would pass along one of my thoughts for the day.
