Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-03 00:00:00 Ray JONES I'm very glad I read this book recommended by a co worker. Carnie had gastric bypass surgery and lost 150 pounds! A life long binge eater I'm glad she wrote this and was so honest. It gave me many answers I wanted such as many people having this surgery lose only 50% of their excess weight. Carnie still snacks and can't control it. At 150# she's maintaining and can't lose that last 20#. If she starts snacking on bad food she'll gain! The lemon sized stomach eventually holds 2 cups. So people still need to watch what they eat. And no sugar! It goes into the small intestine so quickly that your blood sugar level rises causing the body to dump in a lot of insulin. This drastically lowers the blood sugar level causing nausea, vomiting, cramping, abdominal pain, flushing of skin, sweating and a sense of fear and ill being. A sense of impending doom. Ugh! Also severe constipation is a problem. You must drinks LOTS of fluids. The doctors, psychologist, and nutritionist at the end of the book angered me. they talk of cognitive behavior therapy to change how the patient thinks and behaves. Okay - fine. But they just don't get it!!! Where's OA? I lived clean for a year, then fell off the wagon. if people could use 12 step to combat binging they wouldn't need this radical, wretched surgery.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-02 00:00:00 Brennan Sekora A steamy sensual memoir! Carnie talks about her drug habits at young age, naughty details of her teen years, and how she was addicted to food. Mostly talks about the drug addiction at beginning of book. It's a little raunchy but at the end of the book it talks about weight loss. I honestly bought this book for the naughty bits haha. I enjoyed it.
