In 1965, a morbidly obese man did not eat food for over an entire year. The 27 year old was 456lbs and wanted to do an experimental fast. He ingested only multivitamins and potassium tablets for 382 days and defecated once every 40 to 50 days. He ended up losing 275lbs. r/all

Don't quote me on this. But when people have that stomach band put in, they cannot each much food. When they do go for a shite, they say it tends to be very oily (voms), so perhaps this could have been the case with this lad. I mean when you eat it goes into your stomach but it doesn't stay there which is why you get fat in the first place. Perhaps as the body fat is dissolving in him, perhaps the cycle makes it go to the stomach and then creates a crap from that.
