Regainers & everyone

Sharing what I found... Go to Good Morning America then search Carnie Wilson regain and there is a very informative story re. regaining after WLS that we should all be aware of. Mostly confirming what we already know but, you may get something from it...I did. Take care

I have regained 30.....I was 233 got to 133 then up to 170 now at 164. I just started working out with a trainer.....cardio lifting weights and boxing.....pink gloves and all......I started this on 3/14/08 my surgery was in 2001. My weight re-gain started in 2004.....last year I had plastics...gained 10 -15 pounds last year alone. my caloric intake was terribly low and that slowed or stopped my metabolism, my thyroid died on me , I have depression, stress eater, got lazy and made poor choices in regards to meals and so on. regain is very common and will more than likely happen to most of us.....my dr told me anything over 3 pounds in either direction is weight gain or loss......up to 3 pounds is flux.  People need to be aware this happens........we are not immune to it. We need to be accountable for our actions and follow the rules set in place from day one......do not wander off the beaten path. People need to catch it before it is too late .......it is easier to lose 3 pounds than 30....trust me. huggs, tabbykat and her pink boxing gloves

Oh so true. We're about the same with highest weight & regain ! I'm 5'2 RNY 8/02 lowest 105. You've been motivating me with those pink gloves !!! Needed you & Anita's lift yesturday !

Here's the video to her GMA interview: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4534893&affil=ksa t

Angie, Oh thanks so much. I missed it this morning taking the kids to school.

That made me really sad to watch her try to explain herself to Diane Sawyer who seemed to be using such a judgmental tone that I just wanted to slap her.  You could hear Carnie's remorse for gaining weight back and her desperate need to be okay about it...and I just wanted to hug her. 

come hug me.............i need one too..........lol
