Chrissy Metz, what is happening?!

Chrissy was on the "Live with Kelly and Mark" show broadcast today, 10/10/2023. I don't know if this was a new show or a rerun. She is so large they had to rearrange the set to have a sofa instead of chairs. She was gasping for air during the start of the interview.

Why isn't Chrissy on Ozempic?! Losing weight is straightforward now. She is the only person in Hollywood not using it and she desperately needs it. I am worried for her now. It is no longer fun to make jokes about her. I fear she may have a serious physiological or psychological ailment that causes her obesity.

I had weight loss surgery 20 years ago because my body didn't work correctly to process food. I am a person who has to go on less than 1200 calories to lose weight. It's been scientifically proven through one of those breathing mask tests i can't recall the name of that measures your output and gives you the calculation.

I lost 100 lbs. Two decades later, I am still down 100 lbs. My weight has vacillated during that time, but never back up to the high that it was at, and it never will be again. I worked hard, did all the different programs, exercised my ass off, am not a snacker or person who inhales tons of crap food, etc etc but it just wouldn't come off no matter what i did or tried. I knew if I stayed at that weight, i would end up in an early grave. So I made the choice and took drastic measures and had the full-on surgery (not hte mini-bypass, the full on gastric bypass). I don't regret it.

ANYWAYS, besides all of the business of not being able to physiologically lose the weight myself (and i know there will be bitches who will say this, that and the other thing about how i obvs wasn't being truthful about my eating, not trying hard enough, etc. whatever...i was and i don't give a shit what you say) - besides all of that, of course I have emotional issues around eating. I dealt with them, and continue to deal with them to this day.

I can't understand how someone of her...stature...with the money she has and now Ozempic being a sure fire way to lose the weight: WHY in God's name would she NOT use it? What is in her brain that is saying - NOPE, not going to go THAT route. I'll stay like this.

I'm really at a loss; truly flummoxed. Somebody explain it to me.

R10, I appreciate your post.

Obviously we can only speculate, but I don't think she would ever work again if she lost weight. Her size is the reason she gets cast in the roles she does.

She is typecast as "the woman who weighs 400 pounds", and it's hard to believe she would be thought of as anyone other than "the actress who used to be 400 pounds."

If she lost 250lbs, Lifetime would cast her in a movie right away and everyone who "cares" would tune in to see what she looked like, then rip her apart. She'd do another movie that no one would watch since her weight, her novelty, is gone, and we'd never hear from her again, aside from some pap shots every few years.

In the advent of the new weight loss drugs, I would think her survival instinct would kick in and she'd take it-- but that would be the end of her career.

Maybe she's trying to squeeze whatever last dime she can out of acting before saving her own life, but that's a dangerous game at her size. She'd be smart to retire from public life, go on the drugs, and count her blessings. She can't go on much longer at her current weight, anyway, so she may as well take a bow.

I understand your theory, R13. But I think if this woman lost a huge amount of weight, that would obviously be VERY newsworthy and could therefore prompt a whole new stage in her career. I really don't think most people would "rip her apart" for a huge weight loss, and anyone who would do that is obviously a sicko.

How do you know that she's not on Ozempic? Isn't there a limit to it? Something in the neighborhood of 5 - 10% of one's total weight? That may not even be noticeable with her, especially if she's eating her feelings, as suggested above.

She’s way too fat for Ozempic. She needs to lose at least 400 pounds. The only to do that is with surgery. She might be on Ozempic anyway because she’s most likely already diabetic.

I need to lose a few but I don't want anything that makes me shit my pants or barf. A friend who had weight loss surgery calls it dumping syndrome. No thank you

by Anonymousreply 43October 10, 2023 9:06 PM

r43 "dumping syndrome" isn't usually what it actually sounds like (diarrhea), although that *can* happen. It's usually similar to (or actually is?) a hypoglycemic reaction, and how it manifests (for me and others that i personally know who have had this surgery) is rapid heartbeat, a flushed/heating feeling, feeling lightheaded and dizzy and very tired suddenly. Sometimes my ears would even get "stuffy" or have a temporary slight loss of hearing and I could also have a bit of darkness surrounding my vision. This would usually happen after eating something too high in sugar. Sometimes it would end up in diarrhea as well. Once you get used to your body's limits, this stops happening. I rarely have it happen anymore except when I eat recklessly (5 cookies instead of 2, say).

If you keep getting "dumping" syndrome, you haven't learned your lessons on what your body can handle, and what it cannot. Very similar to what happens to some people with Ozempic, from what i'm reading.

Also, for the record, I don't have - nor have I ever had - high blood sugar OR diabetes. And i do get tested.

by Anonymousreply 45October 10, 2023 9:27 PM

As someone who lost 100 lbs through bariatric surgery (330 to 225) and who takes Trulicity (Ozempic’s more expensive cousin) to keep A1C manageable (I am still Type II diabetic), I’d wager that some combination of surgery and medication would add years to her life. But she would need to lose a certain amount before getting approved for surgery, and that may be a struggle for her. I only had to take off about 25 lbs before getting approved for surgery—and the weekly injectables were not yet part of the picture (this was fifteen years ago). I honestly don’t know if the requirement to lose some weight pre-surgery was for physiological reasons or to demonstrate that you were serious about doing the “work” involved in long-term weight loss. (I’ve known people who had surgery, lost weight, and then put it all back on). And I had to pass a psych exam and attend a support group for two months before approval (it may be that some of this was required by my insurance). I also assume that, in her case, extreme weight loss would require plastic surgery (and hernias can also be a side-effect). Yes, there are surgeons who will do one intake interview and then operate, but it’s not the best way to approach the whole process.

She’s not an idiot. I assume she’s aware that all the weight puts her at high risk for cardiovascular disease and cancers. I can’t think she’s holding out because of her career. I assume she’s made enough money over the run of the series that if she didn’t ever get another acting job, she would not be in the poorhouse. Better to be unemployed as an actress and alive than to be cast because of her weight and likely to die by 50.

Fat acceptance is one thing, in terms of treating people decently and with respect for whatever their struggles are. But extreme fat is simply not healthy—anymore than is anorexia.

by Anonymousreply 46October 10, 2023 9:43 PM

I know someone who is as thin as or maybe thinner than Kelly Ripa. She's lived with an eating disorder for most of her life (she's in her 50s, first started when she was 15). She doesn't ever remember feeling full after eating. She is always hungry and always thinking about and planning her next meal. When eating in a group she is always the first one finished, like she practically inhales her food. Always a healthy choice. If we're going out for burgers she'll get it without the bun, substitute salad for fries. It's really sad. An 80 lb adult woman should be able to enjoy a burger and fries AND a milkshake once in a while. I don't know which would be worse, being like that or being Chrissy Metz sized but actually enjoying food.

by Anonymousreply 47October 10, 2023 9:50 PM

r46 - same here, on all the "tests"/measures I had to go through to "pass" before getting approved: psych eval, sleep study, full physical workup, proof of long term depression, measurement of 02 output, and some weight loss prior to the surgery (not much in my case). There were others but it's been 20 years - i don't recall them all, honestly.

I am evil but I was not trying to diminish what is obviously a very traumatic and difficult struggle. "Straightforward" does not equate to easy. Her weight loss will require discipline, willpower, counseling, diet and exercise, and then medical intervention. But if Star Jones can do it, Chrissy can do it too.
