Chantal had her gallbladder removed, so she's less able to digest fat properly than other people. It's astonishing she's able to get off the toilet at all for 6 hours after eating that mess.As an Ottawa native, gravy on Pizza is a thing at a certain local pizza place. I've had it. It's really delicious, but in a very shameful, not more than once a year thing. Also, you usually order it as a slice because anyone who can stomach more than one just can't be human. EDIT: I should clarify any one who can eat ANYTHING after a slice is inhuman. That shit is HEAVY.
I've read that many Canadians get WLS surgery in Mexico because they'd rather pay 6k cash (USD) than be on a waiting list for years."Wait times for bariatric surgery in Canada are the longest of any surgically treatable condition, and vary significantly from province to province. A significant proportion of the wait time experienced by patients referred to bariatric surgery is between referral and consultation with a specialist. Patients in most provinces wait for two years or more, and the wait can be as long as four to five years."
I have no doubt she'd be completely shocked if she spent a day with a post-surgery WLS patient. Watch them drink 2 oz shot glasses of water for the first few days, because anything more will make them vomit. Then, a few weeks later, trying to choke down a soft boiled egg and not being able to finish it.She also has no idea what a normal portion size even is. We do, and we realize that eating a cup total of food and beverage at a meal is a very small portion of food. I think she hears "tiny portions for life" and thinks "just one burger and a medium fries instead of half the drive-thru menu" or "a slice of pizza and some salad rather than a large pie and a whole poutine on the side". You know. Normal portions.
I hope against hope that Chins actually gets the surgery so we can enjoy the absolute shitshow afterward.
