I Wonder What Celebrities Are Sleeved?!?



Recommended Posts

I don't think Jonah Hill had it because he never got to an "ideal" weight and then started gaining some back. Someone brought of Octavia Spencer and I feel the same way about her. She's never been small and is still not small. I'm thinking she would have been way smaller by now.

As a side note, it says something when weight loss these days is indicative more of WLS than the traditional method.

Another issue is money. If you knew weighing 50 pounds too much would cause you to lose a $10M check, I guarantee you'd have it off within a month. You'd wire your jaws shut and just drink Slim Fast through a straw if you had to.

J. Hudson has always been an excellent singer but she got no acknowledgement after American Idol until Dreamgirls playing the chunky one and then lost weight and now she's everywhere. She's a smart one too because she got the weight loss and the endorsement checks in one swoop.

The misery comes with trying to keep it up. They say Karl Lagerfeld hooked himself up to a Diet Coke machine and he has kept it off but if I had to live on 300 calories/day and Diet Coke FOREVER I'd go insane.

Then, there's the ever-popular crack-cocaine diet that is used often in Hollywood as well.

Regarding Jennifer Hudson, didnt she lose for a role as Winnie Mandela? Did the movie ever come out? I always thought that was just an excuse, personally.

The movie was called "Winnie" and was premiered in September 2011 at the Toronto Film Festival. But it wasn't well received and a different distribution company took over; they plan to release the film this fall.

Thanks for the information. It still doesn't change my WLS conspiracy theory. LOL.

In my own personal opinion, J.Hudson lost the majority of her weight from the devastating lose of her mother and nephew!! She had alot of guilt on her conscience we that tragedy occurred!!

There's an article online where her friend says that she started her weight loss after she had her baby. It took her 20 months but since she wasn't in the public eye like that back then, the general public thinks it was overnight.

Weight Watchers wouldn't risk a false advertisement by using her to promote their system when she really had weight loss surgery. I'm sure they gave her all kinds of scans before they wrote her an endorsement check.

Gastric bypass was so popular that Star Jones, Sharon Osborne, Al Roker, Carnie Wilson, Randy Jackson, Roseanne Barr all had it done and admitted it. I'm willing to bet that as the sleeve rises in popularity, we will see more celebrities. Some rumors I've heard of people who've had WLS but aren't admitting it are: Octavia Spencer, Jonah Hill, Jordin Sparks, Drew Carey, Khloe Kardashian, Kelly Osborne, John Goodman, Aretha Franklin.

kelly Osbourne and John Goodman have both admitted it.

I believe Jennifer Hudson had some type of surgical intervention as well, the way her body is shaped, it doesn't look like she's done a lot of exercise to build muscle, and she lost the weight extremely fast. I also wouldn't believe everything that the celebs or the media says, these people's careers are about selling the public a fantasy - and there's not really that many actors who gain/lose weight for specific roles.

Can you please state what the time frame, fast, is? It is possible to lose a lot of weight without surgery. I have lost 107 and 114 pounds in the past with out surgery. Yes of course I have gained it back that is why I am going for my revision.

Lots of celebrities "admit" to the lapband because of the least stigma attached.

Besides that I really like her, I really hope LIsa Lampanelli does well with her sleeve because we actually have someone in the media to watch change and hear the struggles as she's vocal. Can you imagine an awesome comedianne joking about our tiny portion sizes?! Since both she and her husband did it I think they'll be really successful.

I wish she would post here. I friend of mine knows her through the entertainment business-- I should ask him to get her to pop in and say hi. Celebrities probably read but don't participate in message boards like the rest of us.

She's probably laughing at this right now.

I totally agree with this theory on JHud. Depression this severe could cause a lot of weightless. Also she set up a fitness center and has a large group of her own relatives working out and doing weight watchers together. I saw it on some program.

Don't be surprised. They are out there participating the just don't come out from behind their screen names & their generic avi. But can you really blame them?

I just read an article about a celebrity chef named Art Smith who dropped a "startling 120 pounds thanks to Portion Control and rigorous workouts" in just two years. Uh huh. He ate a lot of salad too, apparently, which he claims is part of his success.

Whether he had WLS or not, look at his before and after pics...he must have had some plastic surgery to remove excess skin or something.

Gustavo...at the end of the day, I will have lost all my weight "thanks to portion control and vigorous workouts." LOL Of course, the only reason I could manage the "portion control" part of that equation was to have 80% of my stomach removed! (But that's just detail...right??) ;-P

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
