But check it out. Can you see the differences between a 250lb person and a 120lb person. Our poor bodies.....
Liver-
Notice the liver size, fairly remarkable, right? The lower lobe of your liver sits in front of the stomach. This is what your surgeon must keep out of the way during surgery. If you do not follow the pre op diet your liver will be very slippery and hard to manage. If surgery is difficult for your surgeon, it will be more dangerous for you.
Follow the pre op diet! ;o)
Heart-
Obesity does not only affect the heart of a person, but his liver and other organs as well. But more often than not it is the heart that gets the biggest hit. People who are obese are very likely to develop high blood pressure and can even lead to paying more for health insurance or being denied health insurance completely. If a person is suffering from this condition there is risk of developing other heart problems such as stenosis, regurgitation, endocarditis, arteriosclerosis, and other similar diseases. And the moment any one of these develops heart attacks are likely to happen. More serious conditions may even arise such as the sudden or gradual loss of life. In other words, you can die.
Kidneys-
Notice how the organs appear smashed together in the obese person? Think about your kidneys, when that much fat tissue is sitting on your kidneys this in turn causes your blood pressure to increase. There is an increased risk of kidney damage for this very reason if you are diabetic.
Lungs-
Studies have shown that obesity affects the lungs and its air passages as much as the heart. In children, obesity could prevent proper lung growth. When that happens the child's pulmonary functions are reduced in a level where diseases such as asthma and other respiratory problems result. Several researchers have further proven that obese people are more prone in developing asthma. But when these people reduce weight the possibility of having the disease is lessened.
Muscles-
Check out the heavy person's thigh muscles and compare them to the thin persons thighs. The heavy person has far more muscle mass. They need it to carry around excess weight. During weight loss remember, you WILL lose muscle mass, it is not a question of if you will lose it, it is a question of how much you will lose. The more muscle mass you have the faster you will lose so you want to maintain as much as possible. This is done through protein and weight resistance.
Pushing and squishing your organs is not healthy for your body. It causes each system to work harder than it was designed to. Organs can be like auto parts, they wear out after time. When we all overwork our body systems this is what happens.
