Can You Be Fat And Healthy

No way!!!!! :ph34r:

silly/stupid question that "brilliant" people need to discuss/have a survey to come to the only obvious conclusion!!! :angry:

Isn't obesity finally recognized as a "disease"??? :angry:

fit, trim, healthy and extremely happy grammy :) :)

The amount of money governments waste on silly research would boggle the mind.

I guess I considered myself pretty 'healthy' at almost 400lbs. I've never been on any medication, exercised 3-4 times a week and managed to everything I needed to. But maybe on the inside (the things I couldn't see) weren't good. I had no pre op diet and my op was successful so either my liver wasn't hectically fatty or I just had a pretty good surgeon! It gets you thinking. I ate healthy food (except for my crisp and yoghurt addiction), just copious amounts thereof!! Where I was unhealthy was my head - using food to control my feelings!! I look at this photo of myself and think 'who the hell was I kidding-that's NOT healthy girl!! So fat and healthy, in my opinion, I don't think so!!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
