I just saw Carnie Wilson on a talk show and mind you she had a lap band surgery in Jan 2012 after her initial gastric bypass in 1999, and she looks even bigger than she did on her tv show still holding on. She says she lost 30 pounds. I dont see it. Is it really possible to regain weight even with the lap band? I was shocked that she gained all of her weight back having children. I just feel sad for her. Im just a little scared that this could happen to me. This is why Im in therapy to prevent this kind of thing. Can you imagine how she feels having 2 wl surgeries?

Need to hear from the ex-heavy smokers and current smokers
Rycherchick replied to Ro2x's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Good luck to you. Im so glad I never smoked, I see all these commercials with people who have holes in thier necks, lost legs, fingers etc. I know what its like to give up an addictive substance but It can be done you have to want it bad enough. Can you imagine having this surgery to get healthy and your looking good but you drop dead of a smoking related disease. I will pray that those who quit for surgery stay quitted after. -
I read a lot about women still having to cook for Husbands and kids, I understand the kids but why cant some of these husbands cook for ghemselves and the kids? I told my husband and 13 yrold before my surgery, youre on your own dudes. Give him a can opener and a can of soup. I eat what I eat and they eat what they eat. Just saying

Was able to eat 2 hard shell tacos today... Is that considered a lot?
Rycherchick replied to mikeross's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got a taco salad from TB last night and could only eat 5 bites before I got extreme pain in my stomach. I am almost 2 mos out and could never eat 2 tacos. I would die. -
I hate going to the grocery store, nothing tastes good. Things I loved before surgery now I can't stand. Good in a way cuz a lot of my favs got me to 247. I'm ruining out of things to try to eat. I just had a little roast beast sandwich meat with a pickle and it was gagnacious. I'm 7 weeks out. Did any one else go thru this?
