Weight Loss on The View



Recommended Posts

Joy and Rosie interviewed two women who lost over 350 pounds combined through diet and exercise. When the second woman was interviewed, Joy asked her why she didn't take the easy way out and have surgery mentioning gastric bypass or the lapband. Clearly, she has no experience with these surgeries or the work required to get the weight off and keep it off.

Those women may have lost 350 pounds combined, but within 5 years, they will gain it all back, and Rosie and Joy take that to the bank.

I agree, they talked like it was a bad thing to have WLS!!!!! I mean, the second girl obvously had plastic surgery to remove excess skin, Did they ask her about that? No. I guess they think that all fat people can't make babies or birth them.

It really sounded like they did not interview them before they came on stage. That might have been a good idea!

Whatever, we all know that it is not the easy way out.

Yeehaw that was my first thought when the second girl came out. She had plastic surgery I'm sure of it. Her tummy was way to flat.

I was soo annoyed by that segment. The easy way out... yeah because surgery is soo easy and the weight magically falls off. They should do some research before they bash WLS. And was it me or was the first woman very arrogant. She acted like she knew everything about weightloss while in my own mind i thought she could stand to lose some more, maybe I'm just being mean now.

I was soo mad when I watched that segment. They kept repeating "the easy way out". I exercise 6 days a weeks. I have to make healthy food choices or the weight is not coming off. GB is soooo different than lap band that they shouldn't even put them in the same catagory. All the calories we eat are absorbed. This is a tool as is having a c-section instead of natural childbirth, using pain medication instead of just living with the pain, radiation to get rid of cancer. I wonder if rosie is less of a mother because she didn't go through 9 months of emotional ups and downs and bodychanges like some of us did to get our kids. She use the tool of adoption and that seems alot easier than my 15hours of labor. Our society has made tools for everyone to help them in some way or another and to make life more pleasant. The roads may be different but the struggles to get their the same. No one person should be judged for their path.

Who knows…maybe it's their little secret way of 'cutting at Starr Jones'. That show is so catty these days, nothing would surprise me. :bored

Consider the source. They're both hacks. And Rosie's big ass of all people has some nerve. I can't stand that sow.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
