how is it that you put weight on after the surgery I thought your suppose to keep it off after surgery how does this happen?

[belovedideas]

@debz12180 it's a loooooong ass story. Check out my blog TheSkinnyOnline (google it or Google Lisa's Life Lessons). Diets don't work long term not even if they're surgically induced. One must be healthy before one can take off weight and keep it off not the other way around. You are welcome to email me privately.

I think the depression comes from the worry that the bypass might not work. Trust me, in time...it does. I weighed over 300 lbs. before it . Now almost 8 yrs. later, I'm at about 180 lbs. now. I go up 10-15 lbs without doing anything but it comes right back off without trying. That's normal. Don't give up on yourself, you can and WILL do it. Much love to you!

P.S. I even had a baby and lost the extra 10 lbs in about 3 weeks. See, there is hope!! NEVER give up!

I'm a warrior! I never give up! I lost 150 gained back 30 and am now getting help, real help, from a brilliant nutritionist who's addressing my adrenal fatigue and malnourishment. Thank you for reaching out! 'm glad to hear how well you're doing!

I know this feeling i understand It is not the easy way out. I have researched so much into this and it frightens me. This is a very scary thing. The one thing I have found that works and is a last step before you do surgery is called The HCG weight loss protocol by Dr.Simeons also known from Kevin Trudeaus weight loss cure. It works I have started it and it realy works. It is amazing and there is much to learn about it so look into it on you tube here because i already wrote way to much lol.

I highly recommend you go to the Weston A. Price Foundation website and read read read! I agree. Govt is feeding us crap from their God awful starchy yeasty food pyramid. I'm eating traditional now and feel so much better! God bless you.

You are such a hoot, even depressed you seem like the neatest person to just hang out with! I'm sorry you had so much trouble with the surgery and after and I hope you're doing great now!

I really feel that you at 5 days, help me make the decision to do lap band. I was happy to see you doing better at 4 weeks. going to check your 1 year and half video.

Sweetie, fat isn't like herion at all. When junkies run out, it's gone...fat is still there. Can you run from food..yes but eventually ya catch it. You don't have to have herion to live but you do need food. Plus, most corner stores don't advertise herion.

[garrettmaria74]

i know the feeling , i was pissed off at the world, i was ,mad at everyone who ever called me fat, i blamed them all for me going through surgery,. i got mad at my husband for eating pizza in front of me..but then after i am out now for 2 months, i have gotten better with everything and accepted it....lol i think you are gonna go crazy with all those cats!!!!! dont listen to anyone about exercising, just do what you have to, you know whats right.

[carrie3024]

this is how I felt I just didn't care anymore for like the first month. I didn't care if I lived or died. The one thing I kept hearing was push harder push yourself and I wanted to scream everytime I heard it. It's soooo hard much more then anyone knows unless you have been here with us.
