[@lisaspikes4291]

After being a nurse for 28 years, I’ve seen my share of people asking about weight loss surgery. I started printing out the post surgery diet and would give them that to look at. It’s very restrictive! I usually suggest they follow the post surgery diet now, and they will lose weight. Then decide if they really want to do it. I’ve also seen the people who don’t keep up with the diet after their surgery, and they end up getting sick. There is no easy fix for this. It’s hard work, no matter how you do it!

[@CH-jj8wk]

I love that suggestion! I am sure that's really helped some people ☺️

[@dreammachine5014]

Not only should they start the post op diet before the surgery to see if they can stick with it, they should also address the emotional issues before the surgery not after. But the entire industry is based on these folks not getting better so they can continue to sell them their ineffective treatments. If this were my Dr. I'd fire him in a split second. His slurred speech, low rate of patient compliance and poor patient outcomes, continued "blame the patient and not much else" strategy leaves much to be desired. I've even seen him literally ask one of his patients what does the patient think he should do. Isn't that your job Dr. Quackenspiel?

[@hadilayyad6147]

@@dreammachine5014 These are addicted people and he knows what he’s doing. You can be the best doctor or therapist but if the addict doesn’t want to help him/herself, it’s pointless. He’s actually very merciful and gives a lot of chances. In the end, it’s a show but he does what is promised. The patient is to blame in the first place if they don’t change their ways. This is coming from an obese person struggling with food and emotional eating.

As someone who has struggled with binge eating disorder it is a a very hard cycle to break. Absolutely caused by mental health issues.

And they’re filling. For anyone that struggles with BED these are just a few tips that have helped me with weight loss and also gaining back control when it comes to My eating disorder.

[@pinkchair]

Okay 2 therapy sessions is nothing. I’d imagine that she needs at least 2 years of sessions.

[@natasha1918]

Yep she’s in there long enough to experience denial and she can stay there for many sessions to go until she slowly breaks down to acceptance

[@elisaramirez8668]

Actually they gave her the solution talk to her mom about what she did but she don't want to do it. If u don't do what a therapist say u won't go anywhere easyy

[@CJMGalaxy]

Right? Two therapy sessions isn't enough to know if your therapist is a good fit, let alone make any progress.

"I'm going to therapy so it can't be emotional issues" girl I was in therapy for over 18 months and still had emotional issues when I dipped. (just clarifying I don't condone leaving therapy without serious consideration, it just wasn't working for me) You gotta find the HEALTHY coping mechanisms that work for you and then you'll see improvement, slow and steady. It took me 3 years to recover from my issues, it's a helluva journey but a necessary one. I have faith in you!

[@jessicawilkerson6294]

After watching this show, season after season it’s the same excuses, the blaming everyone other than themselves, as if they themselves aren’t the ones that suffer the ultimate consequences! The ever so popular excuse “Idk why I’m not losing any weight” or “Idk why I’m gaining weight because I’m following your instructions “ are my favorite 🐂💩 lines!

I was depressed a few years ago and Iost so much weight....I guess some people get hungry when they are depressed.

She does have emotional issues to say she feels like she lost her best friend by not having food in her life. She must not be totally honest with her psychotherapist. Her little girl IS on her way to continuing to gain weight and her mother should know better! Shame on the husband/father for feeding his child way too much!

What people like her need is a medically prescribed diet, along with some sort of rehab facility to help facilitate the meal and exercise plans. Make it Richard Simmons themed.

This is the result of setting very high expectations thinking another external thing will fix you. Surgery did reduce her stomach by 90% but resolved her trauma by 0%. That’s why psychotherapy is ESSENTIAL!

It is so interesting watching people with food addiction be so in denial. I was a heroin addict for years but I knew when I messed up. People with food addiction are in a state of denial that is so deep.

There is no reason she cannot lose the weight, she can still stand up atleast. Some people start this thing bed ridden and end it walking.

[@barbaralinn682]

I had gastric bypass in2009. It's the best decision I've ever made. I weighed 237 and am 5'3". I lost 100 pounds. The doctors/surgeons had a really good support group and we met twice a month. It really helped. Even before we had surgery we attended the meetings. That's what these people really need. I know one guy who had the surgery, he's a bus driver so I see him often. He's gained at least half of the weight he lost back. I'm always tempted to say something to him but I keep my mouth shut. It's his life.

[@letkidsbkids9327]

I had the lap band, it didn’t include therapy, gained most of it back. I think therapy is an integral part of weight loss surgery, otherwise the food triggers will go unabated and the weight will come back. The problem is not our stomachs, it’s our brains.

[@byBeauxARTFULIVING]

My friend lost 300 pounds after her surgery. She looked incredible and we were so proud of her. Now she has gained 400 pounds. Sad and true.....WL surgery is a tool not a miracle.

[@meenaksi1082]

Can you please educate me if possible, on how someone can gain that much weight back after surgery? Their stomach is literally decreased in size, so how do they do it?

[@lettucetacoboutit7974]

That’s how I felt when I quit drugs. Thankfully I can live without them, not food. I can’t imagine this addiction

I used to be extremely obese & constantly got judged and bullied for my weight. I wish someone would've brought it to my attention in a positive way and helped me lose weight so it wouldn't carry on as I started to become a young adult. I feel so bad for that little girl. Hope they're all okay. 🖤

Yeah, and unfortunately if a child is significantly overweight at puberty, the chances they will ever be a normal weight as an adult drops to under 5%. And it cuts years to decades off of life spans.

This woman is so utterly frustrating to see. Her victim mentality, her attitude. Even down to the “🥺” face she makes when anyone talks to her. “The surgery isn’t working like it’s supposed to🥺🥺🥺🥺” No!! YOU’RE not working like youre supposed to.

[@WindInMyWings]

Waahhh I've been to two therapy appointments and it's not helping! Therapy isn't a magic pill though. You have to be very honest and open in each and every appointment, do all the work outside the appointments and even then it takes time to feel a change. You cannot rock up twice and expect things to magically fall into place which it seems like this lady dies.

[@staticcrafter5935]

Your right I have been to therapy for mental reasons not like that but you need a few years to even start to get better and you need to do something yourself be honest at therapy I also needed to do my part and not seeing the person that caused it made it better

[@GirGunter]

So sad to see her daughter following her footsteps. She needs healthier snacks, junk food is an every once in a while thing! Then you can enjoy it. Also, I don’t understand how she doesn’t believe therapy is working. She has only been twice, sometimes it takes a moment to connect with your therapist or come out to them completely.
