![]() WOW, it causes some discomfort, but not too bad. Hmmm, I can eat the cheese & sauce off the pizza, lets see if I can handle the crust. Unfortunately, the more confident I got, the more I slowly started to test the waters of my pouch. I was being told I was beautiful! Not just my face, the full me! I was always the fat girl with the pretty face since I was 6 years old, so this positive attention was something I wasn't used to. 140lbs down and wearing a size 10 from a 24/26! The attention I was getting was amazing! I actually had men holding the door for me and pouring coffee for me at the local 7-11! WHAT!Īt 300lbs I had been invisible! How you can be so large yet see-through, unbelievable, but at 160lbs, all eyes were on me when I went out and the attention I was getting felt awesome for the first time in my life. I worked that program perfectly for 2 years and was like a new person. I lost 120 lbs that first year and another 20lbs the second year post op. I watched that video and read her story and saw myself! I was 300 lbs. WOW!!! Thank you so much, Yvonne! This was just what I needed!!! Thank you so much for directing me to your site and your friend Gina! I am back on track and on the path to losing the weight I regained! I want to live a long time for them and myself. I'm in the Los Angeles CA area and would love any type of support group that could motivate that fire I know is deep inside me to get back on track for the sake of my children. A lot of stress is involved (in part why I've gone back to my pre-surgery days of medicating with food) but aside from all that he's so completely in love with me that he doesn't see the weight gain. My husband is a USMC veteran and struggles with severe PTSD. I'm writing this now crying because the emotions are surfacing when I just kept it all inside. I won't even go back to my old surgeon because I'm so embarrassed and afraid of what they'll say or think of me. I feel like a complete failure and know what I need to do but don't feel the motivation I need to do it. They will be 2 in a couple of months and I'm so embarrassed to think it's hard to keep up with them because of my weight gain. ![]() The 60 pounds came AFTER the first year of their life. It all started after I got married (comfortable) and then had twins! I can't blame it on my munchkins because after birth I went down to where I maintained for 6 years. I too after 6 years maintaining a 100 pound weight loss.have regained 60 pounds. I'm happy to say I'm at 182 at almost 12 years post so you can do it but first go on the liquids and then a soft I'd help shrink your pouch back down so you don't want to over eat feel hungry. The last few months I've been back on the drill - two days of liquid IV to sell food and staying on diet three pier protein lean no carbs no sodas exercise lots and lots of water and of course my vitamins. I had to buckle down and I did loss 24 pounds and stayed at that weight for the last 2 1/2 years, stable but still not loosing. By year 8 I had gone back up to 225 that was it. When I had surgery I weighed 284 and got down to 116 and stayed there for the next 4 1/2 years. I'm happy to say that at almost 12 years post surgery I'm doing great. I did liquids for two days soft foods for two days and then I went on the straight-protein diet. I want to say tho I just went bank on the post diet. I too gained some weight back around the same 5-8 year mark. I'm 11 years post gastric bypass surgery and I've been reading a lot of people out there gaining weight back after 8 years. I went back to my surgeon and his only advice was lap band over my gastric bypass!!! WHAT?! I do not want another surgery.Īfter an endoscopy, he claims my pouch is stretched out again! What can I do without getting another surgery? I know any diet works, but right now I feel so out of control with binge eating and that feeling of what diet do I try next! Any advice? I feel out of control.I am so afaid of gaining more back. EVERYTHING I did prior to weight loss surgery! ![]() I am back to eating until I am sick, eating when not hungry, eating fast food, following different diet plans for a week or two and then falling off the wagon and gaining what I lost plus some. I lost 140 ponds by not eating fat, sugar, cards, and by not snacking between meals, but after 5 years all my old habits gradually came back…along with 40 pounds and out of control feelings. I think the more comfortable I got, the more relaxed with my diet I became. My confidence soared and my life changed. What a great feeling to go from a size 24-26 to a size 10! I maintained a 140 pound weight loss for 5 years and had a tummy tuck and arm lift to remove excess skin. I had laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery 8 years ago and went from 300 ponds down to 160 pounds.
