half-ton man gets RYN

Has anyone followed this guy's amazing story? http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2005/04/17/special/doc4262fb208e33d250692135.txt

Hi There.. I actually have watched a show on him, on Discovery Health Channel. So I've seen his battles n such.. only thing that is disturbing to me is that even though he lost weight, he still eats a lot. So I really don't know why he continues to do so but yeah interesting story hehe! ~nikki~

You know nikki I was watching it was well. I was startled at the fact that he was eating fried chicken, fried eggs. His doc seems to have told him that it was ok to eat whatever he wanted that he just needed to watch his calories. I also saw that he was drinking alot of diet soda. Carbonation is a pouch killer. I hope it works out well for him but I'm seeing alot of things alot of doctors recommend you don't do. Faith

sounds like this guy has a serious food addiction going on. they operate on one's tummy, it's not on one's head! i thought carbonated drinks were hard to ingest post-opp? i've stayed away from them because i'm a little freaked out by the idea of swallowing all that gas/air.
