Gaining it all back!

Hey Everyone, Seasons Greetings. I spoke to my friend that had the surgery about 2 years ago (before me obviously) and he has a friend that had it even before him. Apparently this guy gained 80 to 100lbs back. My friend is not sure how much he lost from the surgery but that is a WHOLE lot to gain back. I didn't actually think it was truly and really physically possible. Does anyone else know anyone or have heard of anyone that gained THAT much weight back. I've lost 60lbs so far woooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Unfortunately yes, it's possible, and I've read and met several people who have. That's why this 'tool' is only that - it doesn't change our brain, and we can push our limits. We have to change our daily habits and lifestyles, or after the 'honeymoon' we can go right back to the old ways.

One of my dear friends lost about 60 pounds period and has gained it back...she i do not believe was educated about the pouch ...she had surgery i think 4 years ago...

I dont know anyone personally that had it and gained the weight back but I have read alot of articles and it is possible. I never intend to gain back once I have lost all my weight. when I made the decision to have WLS it was a decision that I made for life. Love Amybee I have lost 51 lbs so far! WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It seems everyone I speak too has a story of how a relative or friend that has gained it all back. It is so discouraging to hear these stories, I wonder why so many people have to share these stories after they hear how much I have lost. Kinda seems like they want to burst your (my) bubble. WE are a new generation of losers and as I see it "Once a loser always a loser" Just make your new lifestyle your priorty and never forget it, and we all should be just fine.

I know it sounds tacky to say, but you may want to check out Dr. Phil's book. It really makes you take a look at why you eat. I've lost almost 70lbs (4 months post-op) and starting to realize that I need to re-think the way I chose my food. The book has helped me dawn
