When gastric bypass surgery was first available I remember someone saying that you could still eat high caloric liquid foods (alcohol, ice cream, etc.) in volume. It made me think that if you're damned and determined you'll gain the weight back. Food really is a state of mind. [I am not saying this form a "holier than thou" pov but as someone who has needed to lose 30lbs for many years.]

Last year she had gastric bypass surgery so I expected a much thinner niece, but she is now twice the size she was and almost couldn't fit through the doors in our house. The surgery is giving her all kinds of health issues on top of being way over weight.
