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.

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

      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!

      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.
