Given the way she eats, WLS would be an abject failure. She doesn't have what it takes to make the dietary changes necessary in order to succeed, and probably never will.Do we think there’s any chance of a bariatric surgery saga to lose the weight in Tess’s future, a la Alexandra “Learning to be Fearless” (who is failing, as we all know) or is Tess truly too far down the HAES/FA rabbit hole? I know her tattoos would be destroyed by skin removal after a significant loss, but some part of me has a feeling she will have to give in to extreme measures like bypass surgery if she wants to stay at all relevant. Surely she knows her star is fading, with no legitimate work on the horizon? I know she would lose the BoPo crowd, but perhaps she’d gain the audience of other fats trying to get healthy? Optimistic, I know.
If she was eating oversized portions of healthy, home-cooked food that maybe needed a few minor adjustments to work better post-WLS, that would be one thing. But she's a hardcore sugar junkie—just look at all the cake, ice cream, candy, and sweet drinks she puts away on the regular, and how much of it she keeps on hand. She is totally the kind of deathfat who would stretch her stomach back out and start regaining rapidly on things like milkshakes and melted ice cream, because she can't stay away from them.
