"MasterChef" star Graham Elliot is thrilled with his 150-pound weight loss after gastric-sleeve surgery, and doesn't care about critics who say he took the "easy way out."
“You can keep saying, ‘You’ve got to do it the real, old-fashioned way. You’ve got to do it on your own. The surgery is the easy way out,'" Elliot said on MSNBC's News Nation March 13.
"But when you get to 400 pounds and you have a family to look after, you realize that’s all ego. You can try to do it on your own, [but] if you don’t get the results, you’ve got to do whatever you’ve got to do.”
The 6-foot-1 Elliot slimmed down from 405 pounds to 255 pounds just eight months after undergoing gastric-sleeve surgery in July 2013.
I saw this happening while watching the last season. I just knew he was gonna lose weight and get skinny. Good for him. It's gonna take some time getting used to "skinny" Graham though.

I didn't mean to shade him. The thing is MasterChef being a cooking show, I always felt sorta uncomfortable about how big Graham was. I'm glad he made this change for himself
