Background

A Reddit user, Lvl15TechNinja, shared his weight loss journey on the platform after he went through DS (duodenal switch) weight loss surgery. Through the post, he explained how the surgery helped him lose over 160lbs in 6 months.

The Journey

Lvl15TechNinja started his weight loss journey at 420lbs and lost 60lbs through a dietitian-controlled diet and exercise regime. He then decided to undergo DS surgery, which helped him achieve the remarkable weight loss. He set a goal weight of 200lbs that he intends to achieve through the same methods.

How the Surgery Worked

The DS surgery involved reducing the size of the patient's stomach and rerouting the small intestines, thus enabling patients to lose weight rapidly. The reduced stomach size limits the quantity of food that can be consumed at a time, while the intestine reroute causes malabsorption of calories.

Healthy Eating Habits

Through his Reddit post, Lvl15TechNinja mentioned that the surgery helped him change his eating habits significantly. He now consumes much smaller portions, mainly consisting of 70% protein and 30% veggies, basically an intense Atkins diet. Thus, anyone looking to lose weight can follow a diet with similar protein and vegetable ratios.

Conclusion

Lvl15TechNinja's weight loss journey highlights the effectiveness of DS surgery in achieving significant weight loss. Additionally, the importance of a healthy diet and exercise in maintaining sustainable weight loss is stressed. Anyone seeking a weight loss solution should try out these methods as they could be the key to a successful weight loss transformation.
