A 50-year-old woman from the U.K., who spent most of her adult life weighing around 265 pounds, now feels like she's "walking on air" after shedding 83 pounds. Instead of opting for gastric sleeve surgery, which she feared due to potential side effects, she chose a simple diet—a decision she calls the "best" she's ever made, completely transforming her life.
Donna McCaulsky, a civil servant from South East London, was advised to undergo gastric sleeve surgery when her BMI reached 60.1 in 2020. By 2022, she had reached 350 pounds from "constant snacking". McCaulsky links the weight gain to chronic insomnia, an autoimmune disease, and an increased appetite caused by prescribed steroids.
