Can you imagine a Thanksgiving where you were only allowed to eat a quartercup of food? Thats the reality for the growing number of Americans who have had weight loss surgery. Not only are these patients limited in the amount of good they can consume, but theyre also told to stay away from starches such as mashed potatoes and stuffing. (Now that's just cruel.)
RealSelf compared how much food a typical person eats on Thanksgiving (note that this plate belongs to one of our
tiniest employees!), and compared it to the amount a post-weight loss surgery patient could consume at one time. Talk about a drastic difference!
