ALL patients are required to lose weight first. You have to be on a liquid diet after the surgery, and after that you can eat only in tiny amounts. If you don't do this I imagine you could blow out your newly-sewn stomach or whatever, so the surgeons want you to prove you can do it with the crash dieting beforehand.

That's not the same thing as being able to stick to a diet for five years or whatever it takes to lose the 200 exxtra pounds.

Also, the fasting/crash dieting shrinks the liver which makes the surgery a little easier, practically speaking.

I've never quite understood this, so maybe someone could enlighten me. WLS is supposed to be for those who cannot lose weight through diet/exercise. But to get surgery, some patients are required to ... lose weight through diet/exercise?

I understand from the physician's point of view it demonstrates commitment, and may bring the patient into a healthier range for operating. But for the patient, how are they justifying it? They prove to themselves that they can lose weight, and still follow through with surgery? Do any of them back out, and continue through diet and exercise instead?

I'm sure there are people who back out when they start losing weight on their own, I'm also certain they don't have nearly as high a success rate. The stomach is an elastic muscle that shrinks or stretches depending on how much you fill it. Someone like Amber has a stomach the size of a football, and it didn't get there because she has a healthy relationship with food. WLS would reduce her stomach to the size of an egg, forcing her to eat less instead of trusting her to remain vigilant for years to eat only that limited amount. Without WLS Amber would always feel like she was starving to death to eat what it takes to lose that kind of weight quickly.

It also isn't just to demonstrate commitment to the surgeon. Dr. Now of MSHPL fame is an oddity among his peers, most of whom wont touch a patient over 400 pounds because of the associated risk of death during the surgery. Working around such vast amounts of fat isn't easy and making a wrong cut is. There's also the chance on a body that size of not administering the correct amount of anesthesia. Too little and the patient will never be unconscious during the surgery, too much and they will die.

It actually doesn't have as much to do with demonstrating commitment as most people think.
 
I get why doctors insist on it, but I'd always wondered about the patient's thinking as well. You don't get to stop dieting after the surgery, right? Aren't you basically stuck with it indefinitely so you don't stretch your stomach back out or hurt/kill yourself?

I'll admit my wls knowledge is limited, but it always seemed to me that if you're able to stick to a diet and lose then.... You're theoretically able to do it without needing surgery that may or may not be reversible.

Someone like Amber would be screwed because hunger isn't why she eats. Shrinking her stomach, which she could do on her own with time, won't fix that she eats due to mental/emotional reasons.
 
There's been no update to her weight loss IG account or her myfitnesspal to confirm 587.
 
Ah, hadn't considered the mental difference between a few weeks and years for dieting, that makes sense when you have so much weight to lose.

I think the idea is that as well as the physical barrier of eating, you also experience a reduction in appetite, so it isn't really a 'diet'. Plus, the decision of eating being out of your hands unless you're willing to go through severe pain and discomfort is probably easier than a standard diet because it requires less willpower.

But yeah, if you stretch it out after the initial success, or don't deal with the underlying issues before then, you gain again.

The issue is long term success with dieting and exercise, which many obese people don't have. Here's a :powerlevel: to explain a bit:

I had RNY in April, and the main reason they make you lose weight before hand is to prove that you are willing to make the necessary changes and stick to a healthy diet. There's a second reason they make you lose weight before, and that is to shrink your liver to make the surgery easier for the surgeon. I tried for years to lose weight on my own, but the issue was long term success. I could diet for a week, a month, but inevitably a birthday or holiday would come up and there's a really unhealthy thought process a lot of obese people have (that you see AL go through all the time) that the one slip up means you can just binge and start over another day. But the start day gets pushed further and further back, and once you're "ready", you fall into this pattern again and again. I don't blame anyone but myself for my weight issues, and am very grateful I went through what I did, but as mentioned before, the surgery changes your appetite as well. One thing that is repeated in the program I am in is "we operate on your stomach, not your mind" so comfort eaters can have the most trouble with surgery, and AL is definitely a comfort eater. The fact is, she would need to lose at least 30lbs (~5% of her body weight according to my program, but some programs require 10% so more like 50-60lbs) in order to even qualify for surgery, and for a gorl who celebrates a .6 lb weight loss over the course of a week as if she's Jane Fonda, there's no way she'll ever be able to mentally handle WLS.

That all said, I cannot wait for her inevitable episode of MSHPL

WLS doesn't just shrink your stomach to make you feel full, it also resets your body's response to the hormones that cause hunger. Dieting before also helps with this reset. The crash diet not only shows commitment but gets you use to your new normal. This doesn't work if the mental health issues that made you fat aren't sorted out. People will still gorge themselves despite it causing pain, vomiting, and explosive diarrhea.

I know two people that put back on the weight after WLS surgery and they are both borderline retarded. How did these damn near mentally disabled people get WLS? Medicaid pays for it and they have SSI benefits.

Her hell is a Curves gym full of sweaty Beckys and right across the street from a Cheesecake Factory that only serves orange chicken, but she can never get to.

I also know 1 person who had wls (gastric bypass). It didn't even take one year for her to eat again as much as she did before wls and now she has gained everything back. It's like she never had wls.

The fat acceptance thread had a fat youtuber who order a Greek take out feast which included a giant block of melted cheese and pita just two weeks after WLS. The feast could feed 4 people as tapas and she made this big show about how can't eat it all or plan too. But anybody who knows fat people see right through that.

I firmly believe obesity is a mental health issues and things like that video just cements it. 2 weeks is barely into pudding territory after getting WLS. Its no different than going on a bender after getting out of rehab.

Your 2 weeks statement reminded me of Ms Fvking Wonderful eating solid garbage 2 weeks after WLS.
WLS is a waste if you go back to eating garbage, it's supposedly an opportunity to eat well while being able to control your portions.

That's the first 100 our gorl has ever gotten. Time for a celebration at Cheesecake Factory!

I calculated it considering that the last 'official' weight in was 550, and that weight, on her 5'2 in height, gives her a BMI of 100.6.
Since then she hasn't done anything but gain, so it's presumable to say that she's well into her 100s.

Unlike Iz, she won't be mourned and honored when she goes to that big Cheesecake Factory in the sky.

No, but Becky could film her as she sings the 90s McDonald's song, and when she will finally die smothered by her fat, edit a music video resembling Somewhere over the rainbow sang by Iz, complete with the scenes of the fureral.

Two weeks?! You’re basically just coming off liquids at two weeks and having pudding at most. I cannot imagine how much hell her body gave her for this.

The mukbang community in the US is so fucking gross. Is it really worth destroying your body to get a few Youtubey shekels?
