Quote:When she was at her highest weight, the top of her cheeks developed points. I noticed the other day the points are coming back.
She was talking again about her gallbladder. Can any med kiwi's explain something to me? I've never understood why when people lose a lot of weight like on 600 lb life, sometimes they get gallbladder problems. I don't get how they didn't get it eating massive amounts of fatty foods, but when they stop, they get it? Google is not my friend because I can only find info on that there is a lot of fat being processed out of the body, but they don't explain why eating crap all day doesn't cause it as much
"One risk factor for developing gallbladder problems is rapid weight loss. As your body burns fat quickly, some of the cholesterol in the liver seeps into the bile, which can cause cholesterol gallstones. You can develop gallstones if you lose and gain weight repeatedly. Other risk factors include a diet high in fat and cholesterol, family history and a diagnosis of diabetes. People over the age of 60 are more likely to develop gallstones, as are women and those taking cholesterol-lowering medications."
It seems like it (for a while at least), the cholesterol mostly remains in the liver, keeping it from causing trouble anywhere else. And the liver is pretty resiliant and can take a lot of damage/repair itself before you start developing problems. And to be real: the fatties DO get gallbladder issues. One little memory hook for first responders/first aiders for guessing if the person's pain is related to the gall bladder is "FAT FORTY FEMALE FRIED FOODS". I guess the 40s and up is when the 'regular fat' body starts to fall apart from the abuse of constantly eating shit foods. Deathfats hit this breakdown stage sooner. I would guess that their gall bladders are already heavily battered, and then the liver purging the surplus cholesterol it's been holding just sends it over the edge.
And of course, Amber's a lying liar who lies. She's had gall bladder issues since her early 20s, and has NEVER had 'rapid weight loss' EVER. Approx 3lbs/wk during the "89 el-beez" saga (not rapid for deathfats), and 2lbs/wk after the Becky breakup. She cries about her "gall bladder" to avoid dieting - I mean, it's kinda the song of her people. And yet she always conviently ignores the NAFLD she ate her way into, which is what exacerbates the gall bladder issues later on (she's accidentally given enough info away to suspect she's turned her liver into an EPIC foie gras). Amber's not special or unique, so I'm sure this is the issue with many other deathfats as well.
EDITED TO ADD:
On the topic of her "89 el-beez", Amber has always claimed she was 420 lbs, and got down to 331 lbs. I was listening to Mr Snowflake while working on something. He created a set of videos where he reads Amber's old AskFMs and other social media oversharing bullshit. During the saga of the 89 el-beez, Amber boasts about her weight loss online. Oddly enough, the online boasting falls short of the 89lb (I think she said she was 'in the 340s' which in Amberspeak means 349.8 or something). And IMMEDIATELY after that you see her weight creep back up in the posts. And then she posted her first YouTube video where she claimed to be 368 lbs. It looks like she never quite got near the 89lb mark, which means that her weight loss during that time would have been even lower than 3lbs/wk.
