If they liked it, they may be more committed. It’s like they are being punished. The formula needs to change. I think most of them enjoy the "full" feeling more than the actual food. I think it takes time, but if they will really cut out the bad fried foods, fast food, processed junk, etc, they will eventually enjoy the taste of real, fresh foods. 4 Link to comment
Concerned February 6, 2020 Share February 6, 2020 It’s amazing how fast weight comes off when you weigh a quarter ton. Through diet and exercise, I lost 15 pounds in a year. 10 Link to comment

I remember when The Farm people came to Ann Arbor to recruit. Some of my friends went to the meeting, but I don't know if anyone actually went to Tennessee. They've done some good work, but I think it was at a cost. I'm glad I didn't go. LOL, I remember the Farm back in the 70's. I wanted to join them, but my husband wasn't having it. I even got their cookbooks and home birthing books. I believe Steven and Ina May Gaskin are both gone now. 1 1 1 Link to comment

Less time under anesthesia and little likelihood of the malnutrition that often accompanied the traditional surgery because they're no re-wiring the plumbing. 1 Link to comment

CrazyInAlabama February 6, 2020 Share February 6, 2020 (edited) Gastric sleeve is almost as good as gastric bypass, and it's much quicker to do. I think they said it takes one hour to ninety minutes to do the sleeve. The recovery is faster too. A year or two ago, I think he kept the bypass as a followup surgery, if the sleeve wasn't effective enough, but I don't know if he still does it. He's breaking the number one rule, protein first, always. Edited February 6, 2020 by CrazyInAlabama 1 Link to comment

Yeah, true, but from what I’ve read it’s not nearly as effective or lasting. I just wondered if studies show that it’s risk outweigh benefits. I know a couple people who died years after bypass. Their health went to hell. 1 Link to comment

Weight loss surgery has moved away from bypass to gastric sleeve because there are many fewer long term complications. Dr. Now was late to switch from bypass to sleeve but has now moved that direction. 3 Link to comment
