Beach Lover 1,084 Posted August 3, 2013 I don't doubt it at all! Not only did she eat the food she missed she could eat A LOT of it!! Glad I did my research and had the sleeve done. Sleeve = priceless!! 1 No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted August 3, 2013 Hey, maybe someday you will be able to buy a home tongue stamper model for $ 19.99 from the kitchen section of Bed Bath and Beyond or from an As seen on TV store!

mrs.petethecat 62 Posted August 4, 2013 I think the premise of the diet, is that when you chew and swallow food, it inflicts excruciating pain. Making it only possible to do a liquid diet... Yeah, Can you say milkshake? This made me laugh out loud! 1 No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarsar 824 Posted August 4, 2013 I watched this today and was shocked at first. Then, I was thinking back to the years of being fat and remembering the desperation I felt and how I would do almost anything to lose the weight. Who knows I might have done something like that years ago. I may have even tried the feeding tube thing. As crazy as it sounds, and it those things do sound crazy to me, the desperation of wanting to be thin takes over and I can understand why they did it. I was crazy enough to go to Mexico to have surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lsereno 2,525 Posted August 4, 2013 Well' date=' I don't understand the logic, but maybe 'pattern-interruptus' works. Also a LOT of commercials on the east coast for something you swallow that swells up in your stomach so "you literally can't eat". Imagine what THAT would do to our sleeve -- EEK!!![/quote'] I think that's the full bar. I forgot to list those on the tried and failed diet techniques I used per-op. they didn't keep me full and they tasted like stale rice crispier with some other yucky stuff.

HatheryOnHerWay 603 Posted August 4, 2013 Why not just do the liquid diet without the patch? !? 1 supbanana reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted August 4, 2013 Why not just do the liquid diet without the patch?!? For the same reason we got the sleeve to teach us how to control and form new eating habits. Do you see both are just different approaches to solving the same problem with eating too much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted August 4, 2013 Well that and the quack doctor couldn't charge $2000 for diet shakes alone..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarsar 824 Posted August 5, 2013 Did anyone else wonder how gross it must be under that patch its taken off? Imagine all the yuck from the drinks that is stuck underneath the patch! I would think it would be an infection waiting to happen. 3 Cheer Mama, supbanana and No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you see both are just different approaches to solving the same problem with eating too much? Right, but the patch gets removed after a month. They're not really comparable.
