A
WOMAN who dropped from 20 stone to just SIX after undergoing gastric bypass surgery now has to consume 5,000 calories a day just to stay
alive.
Julie Dunbar, 51, lost a staggering 14-and-a-half stone
in 12 months after a rare complication caused her body to stop absorbing
nutrients.
She ended up dangerously malnourished and close to
death in hospital before doctors diagnosed
the condition and prescribed a remedy - eating as much as she
can.
Pub landlady Julie now has to eat constantly throughout
the day as her body can only ingest a tiny
fraction of the total calories she takes in.
She describes her constant need for food as a "chore"
which is like a full-time job.
