Breaking Red 59 Posted June 29, 2014 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2673705/Sharon-Osbourne-reveals-shame-gastric-band-surgery-opens-weight-loss-struggles.html Ok so let me get this straight..... You felt like a 'cheat' for losing weight with the lapband? Thanks! You just made our struggle much worse! As if we don't have a hard enough time fending off the uneducated opinions as it. Just throw some fuel on the fire. Maybe you were throwing up so much because you weren't eating properly. You stated over and over how you cheat so often. Did you follow the eating plan? I bet it's much easier following Atkins- especially when you get paid to do it. Anyways just wanted to thank you for spouting off and making it harder for people that NEED the surgery to deal with the opinions of others..... 5 KatieJo4, Georgia Pritchett, mareea2 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyaNKy 79 Posted June 29, 2014 So can we say she cheated Mother Nature too with all the plastics she has on her face? What a hypocrite. Anything to turn a dollar, I guess. 2 KatieJo4 and Scylla reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quuquui 30 Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Why should she shut up? She is being honest. I sometimes felt that way too and still needed a better tool that forced my hand on the food/pleasure connection. I like that she is honest about the journey. She still has a lot of head work to do. To some having surgical intervention does feel like a cheat, that if only you had more willpower, if only you had better discipline, yada, yada. We all go through thoughts like that, if we are honest. I respect her. I had a lapband 11 years ago, lost 53lbs, kept most of it off (had yo-yo relapses of about 20 lbs), and decided I needed a more forceful hand to complete the journey. So I was revised to a sleeve 11 days ago and am going through those awful "what did I do, will things ever get back to normal" days. I know these days will pass and I am looking forward to it helping me finally disconnecting food from providing all my pleasure. I know I will always be struggling with that, as Sharon Osbourne surely does. But I, for one, am glad she tells it like it really is. Even if she is working for Atkins now.
