SexySlim 107 Posted October 14, 2012 So I thought I had seen it all! There is a doctor in Florida that puts a feeding tube in your nose and you pump nutrients into it 24 hours/day. You induce ketosis by getting 800 calories/day. I think I'm happy with my sleeve thanks lol! 4 funkeechiggen, chad2rad, UTGal99 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SexySlim 107 Posted October 14, 2012 Yeah these people walk around with a tube hanging out of their nose and have to carry around the bag of fluids all day. Geez! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scaredy Cat 92 Posted October 14, 2012 Saw that episode last night. They know the weight comes back don't they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted October 14, 2012 I seen that program earlier this year and was thankful to my sleeve. That would be horrible to have a feeding tube in your nose and throat for a long period of time and then having to go out in policy. I have a suspicion that they will eventually go back to their old eating habits and gain the weight back. But I hope I'm wrong for their sakes. Love my sleeve!

Holly5.3 423 Posted October 14, 2012 I heard this was the "bridal diet" of 2012! Wow! I know someone who went on the HGH diet. Self injections of a harmone that tricks your body into thinking you are pregnant, while eating about 400 cals. a day. Sure, she lost 25 lbs. really fast, but it's slowly but surely finding it's way back. These seem to be "vanity diets" targeting women who want tolise weight, but don't nec. need to.

I actually did one round of the HCG diet. You eat 500 calories a day it was brutal but I must say that I kept off half of what I lost about 16 pounds.

Holly5.3 423 Posted October 14, 2012 I don't know about men- the injection elevates an existing female harmone. Not sure what would happen if men took it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SexySlim 107 Posted October 14, 2012 It's HCG and yes men do it. You won't get boobs. Level is about one millionth of what a pregnant woman excretes everyday. I did it in 2009. Lost 40 lbs and kept it off for a year. Glad I'm sleeved now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caliah 1 Posted October 16, 2012 Hi all, yes I watched 20/20 too on the feeding tube, I was upset because people are using it to lose weight. My grandson is 3 years old he was run over on the sidewalk while being pushed in his stroller by his grandfather had MAJOR damage is paralyzed from the waist down among many other things he also eats through a feeding tube not because he chose too but because he HAS too!! Id give anything for him to eat by mouth. I personally think people are disrespecting the real use of this machine. I think that is just too extreme theres many other ways to lose 10 or 20 lbs!!
