Bypass
He is weak willed
He xould never lose weight naturally
guessed as much
(boog intensifies)
@zutt he actually spent about 10 years trying pretty constantly to diet regularily
I'm not excusing him, but he says a combination of the damage he'd already done to himself and mental illnesses that he's never been able to really get a hold of kept him from actually getting anywhere
Yep
so the surgery forced his body to burn a fuckton of weight, so now he's light enough to actually do work
I like him overall
Good for him for finally doing something, regardless of how he did it
a gastric bypass just means you can't eat as much
As you said
I don't think that surgery is helping him very much
At the end of the day
He is a good genuine human being
He lost a fuckload of weight, and now he's light enough that he's able to start exercising
so that's a good one
as someone who's struggled with weight issues
its a fuck ton harder than you could ever imagine
Yep i know its hard
you also have to remain at the same activity level
He's also got enough back damage and joint damage that exercise was basically impossible @tombmonkey
strong willed or not
so even if he dieted propeerly and managed to stick to it
he was pretty fucked
lol no
that's total bs
all a gastric bypass does is limit how much you can eat
Losing weight should save you money, not cost you money.
so to stay a lardass he had to constantly ingest metric fucktons of food
@LotheronPrime I'm trying to lose weight myself and man is it frustrating
I was comfortably around 250-260 with the worst issues being self-image and foot pain if I was up for upwards of five or six hours, but I had a surgery myself the summer before college and the bandages and the slow healing prevented me from swimming and/or biking like I always used to
yup
getting old does not help
and then I entered college and was busy 24/7 with fast food everywhere around me
and a job to pay for the food
*oops*
I got down to 250 once
