When someone is extremely obese, the lure of weight-loss surgery can be great. While certain people could benefit from having surgery, most people do not need it. In fact, many experts agree that far too many people are pursuing this option instead of just making lifestyle changes.

One of the things that is a secret about weight-loss surgery is that even after a person has it, they can still become overweight again. If they don’t learn the lessons of how to change their eating patterns and exercise, they are doomed to repeat the exact same mistakes they made in the first place.

There is no question that weight-loss surgery is also a very risky proposition. People have died as a result of the surgery, even though they were trying to save their lives by losing weight. Therefore, it’s very important that people try everything that they can to lose weight before they resort to a worst-case scenario — surgery.

So how can a morbidly obese person lose weight without having surgery?

The simple answer is by taking baby steps. Anyone who has watched the highly popular NBC-TV show “Biggest Loser” knows that it is completely possible for someone who is 400+ pounds to lose massive amounts of weight through changing their diet and exercise programs. Of course, working out several hours per day and eating a very restricted diet will do that for just about anyone. However, real life doesn’t allow for the same scenario to happen as it does on TV. That being said, making small changes and being consistent over time will yield the same results.

For example, simply cutting out all sugary drinks will usually prompt someone to lose massive amounts of weight over several weeks. Not only are the drinks full of calories and sugar, but the combination also leads to more cravings. In other words, sugar equals cravings. For people who drink soft drinks, sweet tea or even juices on a regular basis, the constant influx of sugar can cause diabetes and even brain fog.

Movement is another very important part of an obese person losing weight. This can be something as simple as starting on a walking program. You don’t have to walk fast or become a power walker overnight. Just moving your body when your body has become used to a sedentary lifestyle will cause weight loss.

Finally, it may be necessary for some morbidly obese people to get into counseling. This is because a change in mindset is hugely important in the overall outcome. Losing weight without changing a person’s thought process will usually lead to failure after failure. To avoid weight-loss surgery, changing those thought patterns is massively critical to complete success.
