Working for the NHS and seeing the fact a lot regain all their post surgery weight within two years I seriously wouldn’t consider that an option. Sacrificing all life enjoyments and never being able to have anything fizzy again is awful. Don’t consider that route please

I disagree with telling someone not to consider a route. Telling people to stay away from a certain fad diet is one thing, but advising someone to avoid surgery that could improve their health (especially when you don't know their health background) is a different ball game.
Yes there are people who gain back after surgery but it isn't everyone.
Yes there are possible complications and side effects to bariatric surgery. There are to all surgeries. There are also plenty of surgeries where you have a to abstain from certain things after surgery.
People who have bariatric surgery on the NHS have to meet a strict criteria either have a BMI over 60 or a BMI over 40 with an obesity related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, back/knee problems etc
If someone has a BMI over 60 they are super morbidly obese and likely have over 15 stone to lose.
Losing that amount naturally will be hard, likely take years and the success rate is low. In the time a person takes to try and try again if they don't already have health problems they could develop them in the mean time.
Also if someone already has type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure losing the weight could save their life.
You cite not being able to drink fizzy pop..
I think if the choice was refuse surgery keep enjoying drinking fizzy pop and eventually have a stroke and possibly die?
Or do without the fizzy pop get the surgery and live a longer life? I know which is more awful out of the two.
I'm fed up of all the bariatric surgery bashing. I'd reaches the lowest point in my life after trying every diet but never losing weight, I was letting men treat me like sh!t because my self esteem was so low so I decided enough was enough and had a bypass.
It was hard work - I still counted calories, are my protein and worked out a lot but I lost 7 stone. Recently been through a healthy pregnancy and got engaged with no regain. I no longer binge eat and run 5 times a week. It's not the easy way out people make it to be

massive congratulations xx
You’ve raised a valid point , and I’ve obviously not seen the success stories with it. I have encountered two people who have had the surgery and I’ve seen complications with one and no change of habits with the other. Both with negative consequence which I’ve formed my opinion from.
I always just encourage people to think long and hard before considering any form of surgery and I always would encourage people to seek help professionally if they have a poor relationship with food before surgery to address the psychological issues first.
My advice was well intended and not to bash surgery itself.
Yes snares the secret to sustainable weightloss is massively under eating
The cals burnt will be in way off. Low calorie isn’t too bad to try and stop overeating if done with a professional and for a short period of time. No diet will work until he gets to the root cause of what causes him to overeat.
I agree. You are so right with this. If this person is being genuine and posting every snack and meal and keeping themselves accountable I support this. It is the deceit and dishonesty with some of these slimming accounts that have annoyed me over the years. I followed someone years ago and they posted every meal that looked amazing and the calorie number and it was never more than 800 kcals and we had weekly weigh ins. Over christmas everything was counted with the same figures. Claimed Christmas dinner was just above 1000kcals and gained 14lbs over Christmas. I don’t understand the need to lie to maintain a certain image for the sake of social media
I know he’s not a SW instagrammer any more but has anyone seen itsjacksjourney’s new face to face? Apparently this is in exactly a month?

Angles for a start will make that look massively different. The first one he's holding it so much lower and no flash. Second one he's using a flash or light and holding it higher.
In real life he probably looks no different
Although, that's quite a bit of hair growth for a month. Especially as he's clearly had his hair done between the photos and his roots have grown too?
Or it would be for me personally. Maybe he's different
Jack and the amazing, ever changing hair! He gets on my nerves. He tries to copy The Fitness Chef a lot of the time. Even uses his wording of “Less calories, still enjoying [whatever]”Angles for a start will make that look massively different. The first one he's holding it so much lower and no flash. Second one he's using a flash or light and holding it higher.

And the biggest shock of all, beingbrittany! She’s back to starting weight if not higher and she had lost 10 stone previously
Just utterly shocking how awful Slimming World are. Keep fighting against them they are just money grabbers. I used to be a Slimming World member I saw the light in lock down thankfully not been back since.
Is beingbrittany the girl with unusual eyebrows, posts a lot of fashion pictures. I follow her, I didn’t think she was a slimming world member.

You can call me old fashioned but I don’t like seeing people in their underwear on instagram. I don’t need to see that when I was scrolling through Instagram while eating an Alpen bar

She was a few years back. She's another one that built her following through SW then decided she was an influencer
And its true she has gained alot back
Is the bottom picture recent? The food posts I was thinking of someone else. Such a shame she’s gone off track. I’ve not looked at her profile for a while. I’ve been seeing lots of Phoebe Court and Poppy Adams
The bottom one is recent- ish yes taken in september. I chose it because she is sitting down in it like the other for better comparison.
She was definitely a slimmingworlder.
I take it back about liking her food after the second picture
