While I understand people having this reaction to what she said about wishing she was three months post-op, it's really not uncommon, and not only in WLS situations. Do you really think people head into knee/hip replacement surgery excited for the long painful rehab....they generally don't.
Of course they don't. But are they intentionally pounding nails into their kneecaps or hips, crying about how they have ABC disorder, and crying on camera about how they can't control it, or using XYZ program to stop pounding nails into their joints and how they're totally going to beat this on this program, then attempting to feign shame/sorrow by telling the world they made a "bad decision" or didn't "just say no" and once again are pounding nails into their joints? Do they then start up program DEF, repeating the same circle of futility over the course of years?
No.
The typical person also doesn't have a history of showing their lying, lazy ways on video over and over and over again, either.
They look forward to being able to mobilise again with far less pain. Do you think patients having abdominoplasty or face lifts or boob jobs are excited about months of recovery in compression garments and wound/scar treatment, or wishing the surgery and recovery were already over?
Ditto as above. Are they whining about things not being instant? Are they saying, hell yeah, I'm getting this surgery and totally changing my life! only to not do something they're supposed to be doing prior to the procedure?
No.
Cancer patients don't usually look forward to surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, instead they wish it was over with already.
And what happens to the ones who say "Why should I pay someone to torture me when I can cure myself on my own?" (something Hamber has basically asked, on camera)? Yeah. Dead, almost all of them, because they've fucked off to get coffee enemas and whatever other bullshit "holistic" treatment they're sure will save them.
Amber's not unusual at all in this regard, and saying what she did is not indicative in itself of pending failure. There are enough reasons to know she'll fail without adding things that in reality are pretty common human thoughts when it comes to any pending surgery.
Yes, she is, absolutely. We have ten fucking years of her pulling the same bullshit over and over and over again. She says exactly the same thing: she's super ready to do the work! But when it comes right down to it, she doesn't want to do any work, at all, which is why she was so happy about ozempic. Then she discovered it didn't allow her to eat like she wanted to, so she quit.
I'll give you a personal anecdote: I had gallstones, and Bad with a capital B. If the surgeon had told me part of the process was that I had to tear off all the fingernails on my left hand with a pair of needlenose pliers, I'd have done it in an instant. That's how badly I wanted it removed because of the pain. Hamber isn't being asked to do anything near that, not even when she cycles through WW, JC, intuitive eating, or losing one pound to show she has at least that much discipline. And she doesn't. She never has, and she never will, because it involves work and denying herself something she wants more. Hell, she can't even do the therapy required to learn coping mechanisms that don't involve food to get past that. There's no reason for us to not call her current (in)action out for what it is. We're not adding anything that doesn't jibe with her history.
