[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The easiest way for me to lose weight is following "OMAD" - one meal a day. I have never been a breakfast person, but skipping lunch and having one really delicious, filling meal for dinner is my preference. I find it easier to stay on track if I'm not snacking throughout the day and eating extra stuff. [b]A friend got bariatric surgery 1.5 yrs ago and her after surgery diet was sooo little. Like 2 bites of meat and 2 bites of veggies. Of course you lose drastic amounts of weight if you eat so little. You dont even need the surgery![/b] [/quote] I've seen this also with a relative who had the surgery. [/quote] The rates of weight regain, alcoholism and other substance use disorders and suicide among bariatric patients are very high. Bariatric surgeons will only tell patients about the short term success rates of their patients because of course those are quite high - starved people lose weight rapidly and substantially, and cutting out most of the stomach and the mechanism for nutrient absorption results in starvation in the short term. Long term a very high number of patients learn to overeat by consuming liquid calories and/or alcohol and many of them become very mentally unwell because they have removed their coping strategy (food addiction) and have nothing to replace it with because the mental health supports provided to bariatric patients are laughable.
