Manuel Ulribe, who once weighed half a ton, left his house Wednesday for the first time in five years. Six people pushed Uribe's wheel-equipped iron bed out to the street, as a mariachi band played and a crowd gathered to see the man who once weighed 1,235 pounds.
"The sky is beautiful and blue and what I want is to enjoy the sun," Uribe said after taking a sip from a champagne bottle.
Unable to leave his bed for more than five years, Uribe has lost 397 pounds since he began a high-protein diet a year ago. He now weighs about 840 pounds.
I dunno what drove him to get that big, or wtf his caregivers were thinking perpetuating it, but, good for him. That's a hell of a lot of effort.
