@Heyyoubehindthebushes

A woman that had it said after the operation you do three weeks drinking liquid only, then three weeks of liquidised food, then another few weeks of soft food. It’s about 3 months before you can eat normal food but you can only eat a few mouthfuls of it and you can’t drink any liquid with it. It’s a very severe weight loss treatment but some people get themselves into an awful way with their weight.

A neighbour of mine had it done. She went from very obese to a relatively normal weight in 6 months or so. Literally changed and saved her life I’d say

I don’t know, I assume you’d need to be careful on that score and monitor what goes in.

Not commenting on your particular case but isnt not monitoring what went in what got a lot of these people in that position in the first place?

As long as it’s recommended by a medical professional, I guess it’s all good.

[backinatracksuit]

I suppose it is, but there’s some very unfortunate people out there who put on weight where others wouldn’t as well, don’t ask me the science,

Will power alone is a tough road I suppose, if the stomach is reduced or whatever happens it removes the option of gorging etc, brave call.
It’s easy to say just lose the weight, a huge percentage of people fail at that, we alll know fatties, would we say it to their faces? Tell them it’s easy to lose weigjht, I do t think many would, and I don’t think it is easy

Hormones and a number of medications have a huge bearing on it. You can add stress to sudden weight loss and gain too

Brenda is giving out about the cruelty of anyone cooking lobsters, or indeed any fish. Fishermen shouldn’t be killing fish. They should find another way of making money. She would only eat fish sometimes, and only salmon, but that’s ok because the salmon is already dead.

I’d be more likely to praise somebody for going for it rather than criticise, it’s rarely for reasons of vanity I’d say, more a means of extending your life, but I only know of that one case

I did it 20 years ago. Had ballooned up to near 18 stone and got it back to 12 in a year

[backinatracksuit]

Operation or ‘natural’ means?

[iron_mike]

Natural. I used to walk from Clarecastle to Flannans and back 6 days a week. Wasn’t a huge change in eating habits aoart from cutting the takeaways out after the pub. Allowed myself a takeaway once a month
But I enjoy walking so the effort wasn’t that huge.

[Tassotti]

thats an awful size

[iron_mike]

Twas.

No actually. I was just a fat cunt

There was no need to fire the word “fat” in there. We get the message.
