The
truth about Gastric Bypass Surgery!
Without
knowing it was a 12-week Post-Gastric Bypass "diet" menu, 100,000
people were given the diet plan and polled as to whether or not
they could or would go on it.
90% of
the respondents said it 'seemed like torture' or was 'baby food'
and said there was "NO WAY" it was healthy.

Permanent Weight
Loss is only realized by Lifestyle change. ByPass Gastric
Bypass Surgery--and still lose all the weight you want," says
Julia Havey, celebrated author of the #2 Amazon.com Health
book "Awaken the Diet Within (Warner Books)
"With the growing
popularity of Gastric Bypass comes the need for an open dialog
about the risks and truth. This issue is not black and white.
We can not say we are "for" or "against" Gastric Bypass Surgery,
as it does benefit some people, but others it brings great
heartache.
We must move forward
in a unified front against obesity. Obesity is the enemy,
not a particular diet, a certain food or the person dealing
with the problem. Lifestyle change, permanently changing one's
actions from those that support excess weight to those that
support a life of health and wellness is the only answer that
will work for everyone.

A person
can have their stomach stapled, but they still have to change
their lifestyle to have any hope of losing weight and most importantly,
keeping it off!"
--Julia Havey
One recent bypass patient
wrote that 44 days after her surgery that she experienced "dumping"--after
eating 1/4 of a DQ Blizzard. At day 44, she should only be eating
"full liquids or pureed and soft foods" (Mary P Mc Gowan, Gastric
Bypass Surgery, Mc Graw Hill).
In a time that a person
can get their stomach stapled and be put on a 12 week "diet of tablespoons
of liquid/semi-liquid foods" (Gastric Bypass Surgery--Mary McGowen,
MD) rather of being told the tough love message that, ice-cream,
chips, a liter of soft drink, 5 candy bars a day or other such "vices"
are what is wrong with them, not the size of their stomachs, someone
needs to step up to the plate and deliver the truth.
Who better to give the
overweight and Obese Amercians the bad news that they "can't eat
all they want, of whatever they want and still lose weight" or "that
once you have you stomach stapled, you still have to go through
a lifestyle change" than someone who has 'been there and done that'.
Julia is that person.
Julia Griggs Havey lived
for many years in a morbidly obese body, topping the scale at 290
pounds. She sought every weight loss gimmick offered, trying to
shed the unwanted pounds, yet remained obese and growing increasingly
unhappy and unhealthy. She found the strength within to go on to
lose 130 pounds and has kept it off for over 9 years—even winning
the title of Mrs. Missouri. Her book “Awaken the Diet Within, From
Overweight to Looking Great!” (Warner Books), has earned rave reviews
and best-seller status on Amazon.com, reaching #2 on the Health
rankings…just behind the renown Dr. Atkins’.

Julia proves that healthy
eating and motivation can change a person’s life—not through deprivation
but through the realization of belief in one’s own abilities to
succeed. USA Today chose Julia’s book as one of it’s top diet books
of the year, “a pound for pound must read book with heft”.
Julia has appeared on
the Sally Jesse Raphael Show, The Wayne Brady Show for “Weight Loss
and Diet Guru Week” and on the QVC shopping channel. Discovery Health
filmed an entire episode of “I Lost It!” around Julia. She has been
in the pages Woman’s Own, The National Enquirer, Successful Slimming,
Woman’s World, First For Women, Glamour and The Globe. Julia’s infomercial
is the only weight loss product to carry the Time Life name.
In 2006 St. Martin’s
Press will release Julia’s new book which has already gotten the
endorsement of Dr. David L. Katz, M.D.—Oprah’s nutrition guru, author
of “The Way to Eat” and Yale University School of Medicine professor:
“If you could design the ideal weight loss advice, your priorities
would likely include reliability, practicality, simplicity. You
would want advice that makes intuitive sense, fits into your life,
accommodates your family. And if you could select your advisor,
you would doubtless emphasize compassion, insight, intelligence,
and experience.
In other words, if you
could design the ideal packaging of weight loss guidance, you would
wind up with something remarkably like ‘The Vice Busting Diet.’
And if you could screen and select among candidates for the ideal
weight loss advisor, you would almost certainly choose someone just
like Julia Havey.
You are fortunate; no
need to design advice, or screen advisors. There is no one more
like Julia Havey than Julia herself- so the choice of advisor is
clear.”
