Some morbid, bizarre thought I had:
Why doesn't a skelly like Eugenia or Ashley just stop eating and drinking entirely? Why not just go all the way to that level, even if it would kill them in less then two weeks?
And would either of them take an operation to prevent them from being able to eat or drink, even if their life would be now measured in a mere week or so, if it meant that they would be the most skelliest skelly to ever skelly? Would they take that operation even if it would kill them?
I'm one of many medfags here but specifically gut surgeries are my jam. All I can really add to this is that a stomach can shrink or expand. Many Anas have binge eating problems, they just don't admit it. The rupturing/stretching etc of stomach walls n shit is no joke, the adhesions folks develop after this happening and or several lapband or gastric surgeries, but this is mostly deathfats stuff.
Patients can live for very long times without food and just IV fluids and TPN, (edit: I personally saw 7months once) kinda interesting to remove eating for such a long period, but my knowledge of it centers around patients having usually horrific reconstruction bowel surgeries that need a long time to heal before you run food=poop thru them.
If Eugenia could somehow go on a completely not-eaing-at-all diet (has she ever mentioned a "mitochondrial problem?" I know a lot of EDs and skelly munchies that claim this, but it is still a load of crap pseudoscience from what I understand) and somehow convince a quack doc to give her TPN , which is essentially IV nutrition but the cells are too big for a standard vein or they'd blow or something so they need a bigger blood vessel. (Picc line in upper inner arm or central line in neck, but I rember hospiyals moving away from those for infections reasons or something, but that was the aughts, but I assume TPN still has to be administered that way?)
I think someone mentioned just cutting limbs off to meet weight Lol but she'd die post op from the amputation I'm sure. Often whenever patients have more major type surgery, a high protein diet of animal products is ordered generally (and meat is definitely better, the doc and nutritionist will say so, but would respect your dumb choice to eat beans instead because you simply won't heal as fast on plant based after surgery, and this also definitely annoys your surgeon)
I was thinking since her death is likely this year that we could use her on one of Jershs merch patches (head on over to the thread if you haven't voiced your opinions or ideas Beauties!)
