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
to stay morbidly obese you have to constantly stuff your ass
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.
@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

now I'm stuck around 310-315 and trying to lower it down
because my knees are always in pain and everything sucks (:
yeah luckily I don't have the pain
But I'm working at it. When it was warm I got back into biking, and I swim when I can. School gives me a free pass to the pool/gym near the campus.
Boogie is a time bomb at his age
I'm not doing great at it but baby steps.
but I'm full of excuses
Me too
@Glaice he was told "lose 40-100 pounds or you'll be dead by 50"
115 kg? lol over here I'm overweight at 70
and that was the wake-up call to do something drastic
