Watching 20/20-Feeding Tube Diet



Recommended Posts

So I thought I had seen it all! There is a doctor in Florida that puts a feeding tube in your nose and you pump nutrients into it 24 hours/day. You induce ketosis by getting 800 calories/day. I think I'm happy with my sleeve thanks lol!

Yeah these people walk around with a tube hanging out of their nose and have to carry around the bag of fluids all day. Geez!

I seen that program earlier this year and was thankful to my sleeve. That would be horrible to have a feeding tube in your nose and throat for a long period of time and then having to go out in policy. I have a suspicion that they will eventually go back to their old eating habits and gain the weight back. But I hope I'm wrong for their sakes. Love my sleeve!

I heard this was the "bridal diet" of 2012! Wow! I know someone who went on the HGH diet. Self injections of a harmone that tricks your body into thinking you are pregnant, while eating about 400 cals. a day. Sure, she lost 25 lbs. really fast, but it's slowly but surely finding it's way back. These seem to be "vanity diets" targeting women who want tolise weight, but don't nec. need to.

I actually did one round of the HCG diet. You eat 500 calories a day it was brutal but I must say that I kept off half of what I lost about 16 pounds.

How would he HGH diet work for men? Just wondering. Would it cause us to get man boobs?

I don't know about men- the injection elevates an existing female harmone. Not sure what would happen if men took it.

It's HCG and yes men do it. You won't get boobs. Level is about one millionth of what a pregnant woman excretes everyday. I did it in 2009. Lost 40 lbs and kept it off for a year. Glad I'm sleeved now!

Hi all, yes I watched 20/20 too on the feeding tube, I was upset because people are using it to lose weight. My grandson is 3 years old he was run over on the sidewalk while being pushed in his stroller by his grandfather had MAJOR damage is paralyzed from the waist down among many other things he also eats through a feeding tube not because he chose too but because he HAS too!! Id give anything for him to eat by mouth. I personally think people are disrespecting the real use of this machine. I think that is just too extreme theres many other ways to lose 10 or 20 lbs!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
