Isn't it ironic, that if they ate their special bypass diet without the
surgery, they should have the same results? "Ignoramus16317" wrote in message ...

As always, listen but verify. -- 223/176.2/180 |

There's nothing ironic about it. The surgery is not only intended to make it easier to follow a very low calorie diet to lose a huge amount of weight but, more importantly, it ensures that the patient will keep it off. Most people who have surgery have dieted and lost large amounts of weight, only to regain it all and some more. They don't just turn up at the doctor's saying "hey, I don't want to be this fat, got an easy cure?:" It takes a good deal of courage to decide on this treatment knowing it has a 1-2% mortality rate. Maybe doing things the hard way gives you guys a sense of 'virtue' but in the end it's all about getting rid of the weight & keeping it off, not making a display of self-discipline and willpower. WLS is an excellent alternative to dying at 40 or 50 from the consequences of morbid obesity or living a life of limitations imprisoned in several hundred pounds of unwanted fat. |

I am very thankful that I was able to avoid WLS but I know others who made that choice and. No one I know personally went into it lightly though I know of a few people anecdotally who have. It's no guarantee for permanent weight loss. One woman I know is screwing up her weight loss with beer and mixed drinks. Anyway, thanks for pointing out that the *support* part of ASD seems to lost on some. -- the volleyballchick |

Pointing out the irony, is supportive. I once believed that it was not
possible to get my weight below 300 with dieting. I had tried. It took a constant effort restricting my eating to just hold even around 310 to 320. However, I discovered that it is possible to lose weight. I had given up without sufficient research efforts. I had done some research, I bought a $100 authoritative diet program back in the 1980s. It didn't help. I thought I had dug deep enough. This idea of hopelessness was supported by seeing the almost universal failure of diets in our society. However, in hindsight, if I had gone to the library and researched diet approaches from decades ago and before, I might have solved the problem. Pointing out the irony only looks unsupportive, if one believes the search for alternatives to WLS is hopeless. Cubit 311/177/165 "Nunya B." wrote in message ink.net...

There is not only one way of doing things. You did a great job losing weight the way you did. I also went from 300+ pounds to a healthier weight without WLS. Your WOE would have would probably have been as dangerous to *me* as WLS since I don't tolerate high fat (with or without carbs). Isn't that ironic? -- the volleyballchick |

Reviewing a few of your posts, I found that you suggest that fat in your
breakfast makes you feel nausea. Sometimes nausea can be a symptom of eating beyond the end of hunger, and then beyond the point of being full. Is it possible that the problem was not the fat, but rather the act of eating beyond the body's signals to stop? "Nunya B." wrote in message link.net... "Cubit" wrote in message m...

Is it possible that the problem was not the fat, but rather the act of eating beyond the body's signals to stop? No. See, I don't post my whole life to usenet, especially this group, so making assumptions or presumptions based on what I've posted is useless. BION I actually have competent medical assistance with my health issues. Sometimes excessive fat intake can wreak havoc with the liver. It doesn't happen to everyone and I'm happy for you that you found what works for you. I found what works for me. We're two different people with two different ways of achieving a similar goal. Neither one of us is right or wrong nor do we have any place to be snarky or overly judgemental of someone else's choices. That was the basis of the original argument - period. I found that it's more SAD than IRONIC that some people have felt they have no choice but to resort to WLS. I can really empathize with someone in that situation based on what I've been through in my life. Maybe that's what you meant with your original comments, maybe not. I'm done discussing it. -- the volleyballchick |
