Okay but if you’ve been struggling your whole life to lose weight then how can you have a successful weight lose surgery you need to lose weight before the surgery to prove you are going to keep losing weight after the surgery all that surgery does is cut your stomach in half and if you can’t tell lots of people who don’t have motivation gain the weight back so it’s not a smart decision

I pray it all works out for them in the end, but imagine their lives 10 years down the road when Alana is in her late 20s and they no longer have a TV show to pay the bills. Yes, she is 100% right to be pushing Alana with the college apps; but her and Josh need to be setting up their future as well. I mean damn, isn't she only 22 or 23 yrs old?!

[@CadaverQT]

​@@nunya5057metabolism no, she probably meant fat cells. Obese children grow more fat cells overall, whereas adults who become overweight just have their fat cells get bigger. Thus it's easier for adults who were healthy as kids to lose weight than adults who weren't.

[@anaaguilar3304]

Didn't alter the metabolism, but it sure did a lot of damage as far as eating habits. A lot of the food we have access to has sugar and sugar can be extremely addictive, imagine your parent never giving you a chance to eat healthy. And losing weight when you've been overweight your entire life must be really hard because that means you never learned how to eat appropriately.

[@michellewhittle8618]

​@CadaverQT is the true?? Bc it would explain a lot for me 😢

[@jodiperez8870]

As someone who had surgery… it actually did fix my lack of motivation. Before surgery I thought that there was NO WAY I could lose weight and so it was pointless to try. And even though I did start gaining again about 6 years after.. I (for the first time in my life) felt like I had a measure of control and could actually work on myself. Once you’re very overweight… motivation is hard to come by because big changes are too hard to stick too and small changes take a long time to see results.

[@WRLDofHRT]

I wish there wasn’t such a stigma around weight loss surgery for people who actually need it, especially when you can be sitting on a ticking time bomb of severe hormonal dysregulation that just doesn’t show up in most blood tests until you’re already quite ill (like hypothyroidism or PCOS for example.) You really can’t win, there’s this one size fits all mentality of move more and eat less, but by the time you’re actually obese it’s a lot more complicated than that, especially if the root cause of it hasn’t been identified. It’s as if people resent people for “having it easy” for being prone to throwing up if you have more than a couple of spoonfuls of food even when you’re faint and starving due to lack of calories. I’ve never had a gastric band or anything like that myself but I’ve always thought it sounds like it must be extremely hard to adapt to and very risky. It’s a massive commitment as well, financially and health wise. But then when people succeed and become thin, they’re labelled EDd and often actually resented by people who just don’t want anyone to succeed at anything! If people worked on themselves as much as they criticised other people, the world would be a better place! Well done for doing what was right for you 🙏🏼💕

And even if you do, you have a lack of motivation that’s what the surgery is for. It helps you gain your motivation back. I’ve had the surgery so I speak from experience and I was one of the most unmotivated people I know. And I’ve had the surgery six months ago and I’ve lost 100 pounds and I’ve done the bare minimum but I’ve still lost so much weight. Motivation is definitely a good thing but it’s not the biggest issue.😂

[@jenelle11234]

@@mango_the_poptart if you do you get the surgery. Just be prepared for the physical toll. It will take on your mental health. Because surgery is much more daunting than it seems. I have had two surgeries, one for weight loss, and one for a life-threatening thing, one after the other, and that was pretty traumatic for me, since I’ve never gone to the hospital since then, for any reason. Also, after weight loss surgery it’s very difficult to feel normal. Like I can’t have a normal meal anymore. And I’m not looking to eat like a giant portion of food but I can only stomach 3 to 4 bites of food even after six months. And it is really depressing, because I’m a foodie and not being able to eat a full meal makes me depressed often. But after six months, seeing the physical appearance changes and having more energy does offset the mental issues. I just wanted to share my opinion because I know a lot of people are very hush-hush about weight loss surgeries, and nobody ever talks about it trying to keep it a secret. At least that’s what it was like for me when I tried to inquire through friends and family about the surgery because I was looking to get it, but nobody wanted to talk about it. Also say goodbye to some of your favorite foods. I am sad most of the time because a lot of my favorite foods don’t taste good anymore. Like sometimes even thinking about some things make me nauseous and it really sucks. Some of it’s not even like bad food, like not fried chicken or something like that it’s like a wrap makes me nauseous and it used to be my favorite all-time food.

[@butameremortal9424]

Amen ❤ looks like that's exactly what she is doing. How could some ppl be so hateful and cruel as to tear that down ??

[@anakelly76512]

Yes. Best to do it while she's young. Her skin will bounce back faster and better.

[@pablopedro8598]

So happy for her to be taking steps to better her health.

[@milili27]

I’m just happy that she’s choosing to be healthy! That’s a win-win situation.

[@clemenIemon]

weight loss surgery shouldn’t be seen as cheating. as long as she’s going to continue exercising i don’t see why it’s a problem

[@kiyabrewer4693]

I agree..its been life changing for some people

[@rochelle8622]

I'm glad she is finally growing into her own person, she looks a whole lot better.. if she would've stayed big her poor heart wouldn't have been any good by the time she was in her 30s.. u go Alana.. you have been through so much, it's good to see you loving yourself for a change.. it doesn't matter how u lost it, dont listen to the hype from all these trolling ass reporters and social media low life's. Do your thing boo nugget!!💯💯 💪👏👏 I'm cheering for ya

[@IsaBennett100]

She’s literally so fucking young. I hope she’s doing well, I loved all of their shows growing up! ❤

[@AABB-ez3ny]

I'm so proud of the person she has become. Despite her horrible mother and all other circumstances she's faced. She is not problematic. Do not call children problematic.

[@valerieaustin2089]

After a lifetime of struggling with my weight. I can understand her desire to have weightloss surgery. It doesn't necessarily mean she's not motivated to lose weight. I had weightloss surgery and it just jump started me on my diet and exercise journey. People need to give this girl some grace

[@cathyjay2569]

I wish that girl all the best the world can give her. She’s been used and abused her entire life. I wish her peace and love!

[@zb611]

So happy she is finally taking care of herself. It made me mad when they focused on helping her mom get in shape instead of her or them together. She looks amazing 💖 I hope she continues to prove all the haters wrong, by meeting her goals, learning to love herself, & continuing to live a healthier lifestyle. People always gotta hate on others, when sadly it’s themselves they truly hate.

[@Randomstuff1734]

I remember only hearing about Elsagate from the KZbinr flamingo, but never understanding why it had been banned. This clears up a lot of my questions, thank you.

[@danawaits6622]

Oh, Alana, I am so proud 👏 of you doing this video and your weight loss I been also doing kinda same for myself

[@aniqua_2417]

If you've gone through weightloss, u would know that EVERYONE wishes they could just get the surgery ☠️

[@suebeth1156]

I think it’s wonderful! She sounds very motivated; I wish her much success. I’m trying to get back on the diet exercise train myself.

[@Lastdayone]

I’m hoping the best for her. I hope she also gets a therapist as well. I believe she’s been through a lot.

[@Asia_Dior]

Girl do what you have to do for YOU and ur HEALTH! The weight loss looks great, keep it up and ignore the haters!❤️❤️❤️

[@itsshanisworld]

She's soo beautiful. Wishing her the best and pray that the light within her continues to radiate 🌟 Lord protect her 🤍

[@katylepetsos7512]

She deserves so much better, her mom is awful, I feel so bad for her.

[@poempadgett4664]

Good for her! It’s not easy, either dealing with the physical and emotional aspects involved. She has gorgeous skin and is so naturally pretty, she will look, and most importantly, *feel* fabulous, so much better, inside and out, once she achieves and maintains a healthy weight and lifestyle. Best of Luck, Alana❤

[@christinemarie6648]

Think about everything we seen on the show plus everything that girl had to go through behind the scenes. I'm not surprised that the girl eventually it's not going to go into a place where she's just going to lock herself in a room and not talk to anyone ever again. All the pressure to being popular at a very young age is not healthy. Besides we heard enough about young women basically little girls being forced to be a woman at a very young age. Making them do things that little girl shouldn't even know about.

[@doodlerose1025]

I love that she is actually being able to take control over her body and be able to do this also having surgery isn't actually lazy or the lack of motivation sometimes it can be the only option and the risks they have to take to get surgery.

[@pamp4960]

I have always liked this kid. She grew up with a kinds of crazy so I'm thrilled by her success. She is beautiful as she has always been.

[@MichaelMcClary-w9o]

If it will help her lose weight I think she should do it because it can be very hard to do because of the fact that a lot of people don't have the time and age and physical capabilities makes it harder for some people

[@sloanpowellspeaks]

She’s self care absorbed! Good for her it’s in a good way. Don’t try to discourage this was hard enough. This first starts with acceptance of said problem. I applaud you honey that’s the hardest part. I’ve done it! Much prayer and encouragement on your Journey!!🎉🎉❤😊

[@debiseeu1620]

I love this young lady. She is taking her own path and killing it. You go, girl, ❤

[@Washington973]

She’s the baby that had all eyes on her for awhile. Then the real reality struck her family down by their own hand. She got attention for what was good at the time, all cute and curly and smart mouthed. She thrived on that attention, she’d like to feel that lime light again somehow. So weight loss is her only choice, she’s been talking about it for some time now. Talk. Nothing wrong with surgery, but that’s only the beginning. She doesn’t seem like she has what it takes to succeed. She still acts like a little brat princess. She needs a little therapy to shed the baggage before the pounds. More power to her. Don’t kid yourself though, find your authentic self and be honest with her. Protect your character. Think of a couple females that you truly respect and find out why and then be that way.

[@bubblegum03]

Proud of her, hope she overcomes her mother's influence and rises higher than ever

[@larimartinez8161]

good for her but i hope she’s doing it in a healthy way and no shady stuff to herself behind the scenes

[@Shmoo77]

I would absolutely 💯 let her get the weight-loss surgery!! Sometimes exercise alone is not enough!! And could help her in the long run !!

[@lyndsaysrebornnurseryoffib4241]

I’m glad she’s working on herself keep on taking care of yourself girly! Proud of you!

[@Justagirlwithgoalss]

I can’t get over how much she looks like her dad it’s unreal

[@hayesedwards4883]

These ppl shouldnt be in the spotlight.

[@ShadowHeart28]

If I was in her area we would be gym buddies. Nothing but positive vibes and cheer from me. You're doing amazing sweetie.🥰

[@katies_80s]

I’m proud she’s doing it for herself

[@gennabuckley6578]

I love this kid she’s the same age as my daughter she’s been through so much bless her but keeps going always trying to better her self she’s brilliant she amazes me ❤

[@nataliebarnwell7583]

Pretty girl .. wish her the best in her journey.

[@deadazz212]

Sometimes a person can do everything right and their body is just naturally big. Look at her family. It’s probably a genetic issue in which case you would need surgery. You also need to maintain that weight after surgery. My Aunt had weight loss surgery and didn’t eat healthy/exercise and gained the weight right back. Don’t judge others on THEIR journey ❤️

[@ShockResistor]

Youre right but in her case her family ate some junk

[@ShockResistor]

Youre right but in her case her family ate some junk

[@sluttymctits4496]

No. Can we stop using this excuse already? Yes, some people are genetically predisposed to be larger or hold onto weight, but not that much. If a short woman weighs over 225lbs (I'd argue 200lbs, but whatever), that's due to poor diet and zero exercise. Genetics and diseases/illnesses can add on weight and make it difficult to lose, but it's not an excuse -- if you're susceptible to weight gain, do something about it. By saying "It's genetics," you're only saying that a person isn't driven to do anything and has zero personal accountability. Obese people know what they can do to improve their situation, but they don't want to make the changes to help themselves, and by saying they can't help it, you're only keeping them stuck.
