Butter
Another story. I have a friend who is seeing a patient in clinic who recently had lap banding surgery for weight loss. The surgery had no complications, but 6 weeks after the surgery and the patient still had not lost any weight. My friend found this odd, and so took more history...
Upon further questioning, the patient finally admitted that on a daily basis, she had been melting an entire tub of Country Crock butter in the microwave and drinking it. Where's Fabio and his "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" when you need him?

Whoa. That's disgusting. And it also goes to show you that some people really don't do all the stuff they ask you to do (the counseling, the nutrition education, etc.) before getting the surgery. I've seen what insurance companies require, and the list is not short. But people always find ways to bypass it because they think the surgery is a quick-fix. Honestly, what compels someone to DRINK butter?
That's pretty intense. There's gotta be something that drives us to do weird stuff like that, huh.
I had a friend whose little brother used to eat a stick of butter. No microwave required.
