Like Millions Of Less Celebrated Americans, Carnie Wilson was not just fat. At 5 ft. 3 in. and more than 300 lbs., she was morbidly obese―more than 100 lbs. above her ideal body weight. After trying all sorts of diets that didn't work, the daughter of Beach Boy Brian Wilson and member of the now disbanded pop trio Wilson Phillips turned to a drastic last resort: gastric-bypass surgery. Doctors sewed up most of her stomach, reducing it to a tiny receptacle that holds several tablespoonfuls at best, and isolated much of her small intestine to reduce nutrient absorption. Result: filled to bursting after just a few swallows, she simply couldn't eat the way she used to. In three years, Wilson dropped an astonishing 150 lbs. What's surprising, though, is that she lost not just the ability to overindulge but also her appetite. "For the first year and a half," she says, "it was almost nonexistent. I had to remind myself to eat."

机译：像成千上万的名人少了一样，卡妮·威尔逊不仅胖。在5英尺3英寸高且超过300磅的情况下，她病态肥胖-超过100磅。超过她的理想体重。在尝试了各种无效的饮食方法之后，Beach Boy Brian Wilson的女儿和现已解散的流行三重奏组Wilson Phillips的成员转而采取了一种极端的最后手段：胃旁路手术。医生缝合了她大部分的胃，将其缩小为一个小容器，最多只能容纳几汤匙，并分离出大部分小肠以减少营养吸收。结果：吞下几口后便充满了泡沫，她简直无法像以前那样吃东西了。三年中，威尔逊掉落了惊人的150磅。然而，令人惊讶的是，她不仅失去了过度放纵的能力，而且失去了食欲。她说：“在开始的一年半里，这几乎不存在了。我不得不提醒自己吃饭。”
