Anyone watching this (Channel 4 +1)? At only 56st :o he's having his gastric by-pass. It's not his fault though ....... apparently! :-? :-? :-?
It costs (us) £700+ to look after him! :-X
-
Well it's not me, this time.... :D :D :D
If anyone can tell me how to put weight on I would be interested.... :)

have a go with this fella's diet. 20 000 calories a day!!!

Vamps - live off takeaway pizza. That's certainly seen me gain 30Kg (66lb in old money) since last May. I wasn't exactly svelte beforehand, so I'm well on my way to being featured on TV, I reckon.. :-X :-[
Really should fix that, but for some, it really is harder than others - resorting to food usually being a learned response to something else (stress, etc), it's just like trying to give up fags, or drink, for me.
And now I should probably stop reading this thread, before all the skinny folks come on and brand all us fat folks the scourge of society, the root of the economy problems and all manner of other things.

6 months on he's lost 18 st due to a 1200 calorie diet. He's still got massive problems though with bed sore type sores inside the folds of now spare skin. :-?
-
Just had a stone & a half of spare skin remove from ONE inner thigh ................. :o

I must be lucky then. The amount of sshit I eat is unreal and I still don't put on any weight!
I've just devoured a full packet of jafa cakes (did the same last night), kit kat chunky, on my 4th can of John Smiths, biscuits, crisps, little swiss rolls, Had my tea earlier. I'm so lucky! ::)

*shudder* I set it to record the next time it's on..
Spare skin.. honestly, my biggest fear about losing weight :-[

Oh yes, definitely more to it than just diet - level of activity plays a big part and, of course, your metabolism.. I've no idea whether metabolisms differ due to genetics (they certainly can - thyroid problems, for example) or learned metabolism (since your body can adjust that largely at will).. but some people's seems to race while others definitely plod.
I work with a fella who's only moderately active, eats for four, yet is like a bean pole.
I may secretly hate him.. ;D

I'm sure it'll be available via a Channel 4 version of BBCi

Not been watching, but I do know that really fat people, with folds of skin, can have many problems, sores, yes but body odour because they can not wash fully or wipe their bottom, some can not even reach..sad for those who can not help their situation. I remember in the 90's a tv programme about obese people and one lady was pregnant, when they went in to do the cisarian loads of liquid spurted out, horrible.......
I remember the case because I was involved in caring for her 8 year old son and knew her, but I remember thinking how on earth a bloke could have physically managed to get her pregnant in the first place....

I have to say that SWMBO hates the fact I can eat more or less what I want & am only (almost ::)) 14st (but should be nearer 13) whereas she only needs to look at a pie & gains weight!

Unfortunately I think it might change for us as we get older, we'll get fatter, so let's enjoy it now while we can! ::)

;D Even before I had the big 'C' I was slim, have worked in a mainly female environment, still do, and have often enjoyed the fact that I could eat a big cream cake when they are all on diets... ;D ;D ;D

Not working for me..... :( :( :(

I was always able to eat anything and never went above 11 stone. Since I changed jobs from being extremely physically active to being almost totally inactive I went from just under 11 stone to 12 1/2 stone in a year. And its all on my belly.

I bought my first ever 34" waist jeans recently! I've been in 32" forever! :-? :-?

break. I'm in 50-something :o Shoot me now!
Also.. it's your fault I just turned Sky on to record that programme, and found a show on BBC HD with Dr. Alice Roberts in it. Oh. God. She owns my heart, I swear. And it's a programme about swimming. So she's wearing a wetsuit and/or bikini. Beautiful and intelligent.

I'll be drooling quietly in the corner for a while!
[edit] She's the one in the middle of that picture, before some smart-alec comes along :P

I'm not bothered about the intelligent bit, as long as they do what they're told, like 'iron my shirt' and 'make my tea' then that's ok!

;D ;D ;D Oh no.. I'd like the whole package thanks - beautiful, intelligent, can keep me in the manner to which I'm accustomed... :D
And she just got out of a freezing cold outdoor swimming pool.. you could hang your coat on those.
I think I've died and gone to heaven, here!

That's it!
BBC HD, it's called Wild Swimming.
She keeps jumping into cold water and 'gasping' .. she sounds more like she should be doing something else. ;D Lordy.
[edit] Ah damn.. Alice: "And partly because I'm four months pregnant" - well there goes all my hopes and dreams!

you see them on the train in the mornings, greedy fat tinkers who dont stop eating, drinking cans of coke and eating mars bars and crisps. should the nhs pay for these peoples treatments. i worked with a bloke called alan for 2 years and he was the same, gulping down fast food all day. luckily him and his wife got 2yrs each for frauding the insurance companies out of 135k last year.
-
I'm lucky that I can eat and drink pretty much whatever I like, and never seem to put on weight.
i've been 17st for years :)
Mind you, saying that:
Some chav called me a "fat t**t" last year.
I sat on him 'til he stopped breathing.
Then ate him.
Then I ate his car. :y

Maybe, maybe not .
But then do you treat, heavy drinkers, chain smokers and people who imported themselves into this country just to abuse use the NHS

Don't stop there.. Those who don't do enough exercise, those who do (jogging, cycling, swimming - all potentially dangerous), Drivers, Pilots, Racing drivers, Climbers, Pot-Holers.. anyone who does anything at all, in fact... all selfishly putting themselves in harm's way and expecting the NHS to bail them out when they have a medical need. ::)

I saw a few clips of the programme, and tbh I unexpectedly couldnt help feeling a bit sorry for the bloke.
He said it all started about 20 years ago when he had his heart broken and took to eating as a comfort. When it became an out of control addiction, he hated himself so much for what he had done to himself he took an overdose to try to end it all, but because of his size the tablets didnt have the desired effect.
I hope for his sake ( and the funds of the NHS) that he slims down to something approaching normality.

well my father was refused his operation unless he stopped smoking for 6 months even though if he wasnt giving surgery he would die, he did it luckily enough. i need treatment on my back but cant even get the appt ive been waiting for since last july just to see the consultant.
