Calling Anyone Who's Gained Serious Weight Down The Road?

[Madam Reverie 2,958]

MADAME REVERIE IS BACK!?!?

You don't know me, but you have no idea how much I've enjoyed your old posts, your sense of humor and your intelligence. I've hoped you would appear again.

Your emergence from the shadows will tickle quite a few folks.

Ann, of course I remember you! Glad to see you're still haunting these halls, as am I about to - again!

Glad to see you're looking/sounding happy and well. Lets get this party started, shall we?!! x

You don't know me either, but I remember your posts. They made me laugh. I think you dissappeared soon after my surgery on August of last year. I had actually asked someone where you had gone?

Welcome back, and hope the forum helps give you the boost you need to get back on track!

Babbs, I don't 'know' you, but I saw you around in your early days. Glad the posts made you laugh - crikey, do we all need it sometimes?!

Thank you for the welcome back. Look forward to having some 'banter' as we Brits call it in the not so distant future!

I've put on weight. It sucks. About 16lbs from my lowest weight.

I'm just over 2 years out. Can eat quite a bit more than at the start - obviously - but the reason I am putting on weight, is because within 2 hours of eating, I'm hungry again - and I eat - and not always healthy options (still a carb addict) . It's no joke - nor is it head hunger.

Consequently and after a sabbatical where life seriously got in the way (Family/Relationship Breakups/Deaths), I have returned to the forum to get my brain back into gear and work on getting my weight back to what it was.

Accountability is key - so I'm about to become accountable!

So, for those of you who know me and those of you who don't...

Hello! T'is, I!

Now, where's that contentious yet luscious Lipstick Lady and the rest of the gang? You know who you are!

What've I missed?!

Hello you mentalist xx

I know a person who had the sleeve a few years ago and has gained almost all of their weight back. This person did not stick to the plan and I believe consumes a lot of calories from alcohol.

ME TOO--- "emotionally" attached to some of my old big clothes. Made me smile. I really like some of my big girl clothes AND I have some fond memories of places I went in them. I'm keeping a few.

But to the topic of weight gain after WLS. I had a lap-band in 2006, lost 75 pounds and over 6 years slowly gained it all back and then 15 more pounds. I had a terrible time with the lap-band, had it replaced early on after a erosion, hurt all the time, finally had to have a total unfill and it still hurt. I could only eat soft foods. A piece of chicken would send me into serious stomach pains all day.

Jump to Jan 2015-lap band revision to sleeve. The sleeve is a much better WLS for me. I am not in constant pain. I'm 10 pounds below my lowest with Lapband. I'm 64 yrs old and I know this is my last chance. I am very serious about changing my eating habits and way of life. So I am following the food plans pretty much to a tee. I don't eat sweets and rarely bread/potatoes/starchy stuff. My worst slip-somedays-I eat 2 apples instead of one and an extra piece of cheese. This is my new way of life. I plan to keep this weight off no matter what it takes. It's life or death. At age 64, it's real.
