WEIGHTLOSS SURGERY?

2019-04-01 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 20 min

Chantal (Foodie Beauty) records a personal vlog update about her mental health, eating disorder recovery, and plans for weight-loss treatment. She describes problems scheduling a referral to an eating-disorder clinic, medication side effects (Lexapro causing sleepiness; possible Vyvanse interaction; considering Wellbutrin), recent fatigue and long sleep, car troubles, and thinking about weight-loss surgery as a preliminary option once her eating disorder is addressed. She outlines returning to the weight-loss clinic and following a doctor’s meal plan (limited carbs, unlimited vegetables, measured portions such as 1/2 cup mashed potatoes), plans for healthier recipe videos (French onion chicken, asparagus, mashed potatoes), changes to her mukbangs (smaller measured plates / 'spooky dinner' idea), and getting back to the gym.
