“Your evidence based on daily scale readings that you can gain far more weight from the same diet that skinny people eat is basically nonsense”

Nonsense? Would you like to see the daily weight records. I’ve got 6 years’ worth. But then it’s obvious that you know so much more than I do about my health issues. Have you ever been even 10 lbs. over your ideal weight? I could show you in the last week three days when I averaged 1.2 lbs. gains per day. Using your scenario, I would have had to have consumed 4200 extra calories per day on those three days or a total of 12600, to accomplish that. I probably don’t eat 12600 per week. And yes, I keep very exacting dietary records too. So, peddle your, you’re just lazy and overeat preaching somewhere else.

No, I never said anything even resembling that.

So, peddle your, you're just lazy and overeat preaching somewhere else.

Here is what I said, “When your weight is varying 1-3 pounds in a day... that is from water not fat, or a big load of poo that you have either expelled of are carrying around inside your intestines.”

I also said, “You likely do have a slow metabolism from heredity and a sedentary lifestyle but there is no reason that with determination and better choices that you could not turn this around.” Then I in the next paragraph I mentioned a bariatric procedure that has had a 100% success rate in the people I know who for whatever reason were not able to keep weight off over an extended period of time.

You are living in a fantasy land if you believe that your body can manufacture fat out of nothing. I am sorry that this reality for whatever reason causes you great distress. It should give you hope. Unfortunately, most doctors will not level with their patients who are unable to enjoy their lives because they have remained morbidly obese for decades.

My great uncle is in his mid 90s. He was morbidly obese for 50 years. He had his hips and both knees replaced twice. His doctor told him they were not going to do surgery again and he was either going to have to live the rest of his life in wheelchairs or lose a couple hundred pounds. The doctor also told him that he probably wouldn't last more than another year or two. He went to another doctor and that doctor old him the same thing. This straight talk and a “belly band” surgery saved his life. He lost 300 pounds and he is still alive 5 years later and doing the things that he enjoys again.

I don't care how you feel about being told the truth. I don't care how you feel about me.

Wake up and find a doctor who is actually going to set you on a different path. YOU ARE NOT AN EXCEPTION TO THE LAWS OF PHYSICS. You either have giant abdominal tumor that you are feeding, you are a giant water balloon, or you are super fat from eating more calories that you burn. DO SOMETHING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE AND START LIVING AGAIN!
