Episode 88: 410 Pounds to “ONE-derland” How Ali Lost 230 Pounds with VSG and Zepbound

A Pound of Cure Podcast 21 days ago

Description

At her heaviest, Ali weighed 410 pounds. That's the last number she saw, because that's when she stopped getting on the scale.

WHAT WE GET INTO

-How a spinal surgery and the treatment that followed led to 230 pounds of weight gain
-The appointment that nearly ended her search for help
-Why she chose a sleeve over a bypass, and why Dr. Weiner pushed back at the time
-Why a sleeve plus a GLP-1 now competes with a bypass alone
-Why semaglutide did almost nothing and tirzepatide worked, and why nobody can predict which
-The new 7.2 mg semaglutide dose and why the two drugs look more alike than they used to
-Paying cash, and Dr. Weiner on why financial harm is harm too
-What she eats, and why she got rid of her microwave
-Milling her own flour, and why store-bought wheat isn't the wheat you picture
-Zoe on planned indulgences and the half-cookie that actually satisfies
-ONE-derland, loose skin, and why Dr. Weiner says she's already past goal
-The honest hunger test: if you won't eat an apple, you're probably not hungry
