The Inspiring Story of "Fat Girl Fed Up" (and "Discovering Danny")

Amazing transformation, although I wish they hadn't taken the dig @ WLS made near the end of the article (i.e. "they did it without gastric bypass surgery" )

She did a great job, but it's also only been a couple of years since she started. Long term is much harder.

I also notice the most recent pictures she's posted are retreads. There hasn't been anything new since PS a year ago. Maybe it's already started.

She has. She has self-admittedly gained about 30lbs since her plastics.

Unfortunately some of us could write or be the person in that article.

I was almost always dieting and exercising, and over the years I had been any size between 4 and 20. And I had many clothes in the ranges and in between. And every time I told myself that this time I am not going to gain the weight back, and everytime I regained what I lost. Regained not in one year, but overtime. I think before my WLS the longest I kept my weight from com5back was 3 years. 3 years of extreme dieting, deprivation, and vigorous exercise. The only good thing that came out from those years is my bones density and muscles mass.

Now, 11+ years post op, I had a couple of regains, but in all those years I only regained and re-lost a portion of it. And in no time in those 11 years i had to switch to my XL cloths.

Very unfortunate for them. Everytime I heard about someone lost the weight "the hard way", I predicted they would gain it back. At least a large portion of that. But almost always the gain it back and then some.

Yep, I did that often and always gained it back with few extra pounds. It is such a great trip when you are down and so depressing when the weight comes back again.

No one should be unfairly " sentenced " to starve on a diet for the rest of their life .

As a society we must SOLVE this regain / unhealthy gain issue not shame and bully the unfortunate cursed with high- gaining bodies .
