Hello my fellow WLS peeps. I am on a mission to lose 50 pounds that I have regained. I am feeling hopeful and know that getting back to basics will do it. I would like this thread to be a place where we can come and be transparent and accountable. I plan on checking in with a weigh in every Monday starting tomorrow. If you want to join me, let's do this!

Heightist weight: 289

Lowest: 157

Goal: 150

Attached is my before surgery pic, me at my lowest and where I am today.

May God bless you and keep you[emoji173]️

You can do it! I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and I have been freaking out about the weight gain. I've gained 10 pounds so far. I know that isn't a lot for a baby, but I know more is to come. I am trying to still stick to the basics as well. I am still working out 6 days a week, but not near the intensity I was before.

Ana you'll be fine don't worry about the gain while your pregnant- just follow your drs orders and eat healthily, gain within the range your doc gives you and you can take it off once baby arrives

Slim Dreams,

It is the BOT program with the Inspire shakes, but I'm not using the Inspire shakes! I thought they were a little too pricey. I am using the Premier Protein shakes from Costco, and am doing fine with those. I may try the Inspire shakes at some point. Please let me know what you think of them! Good luck!!

Also, just as an update, at one week out had lost 3 pounds! Am very excited, and hope it continues...

I'm in! I don't have a diet to follow because I never got a diet to follow. If anyone has the plan to follow after surgery and can scan and send it to me I would sure love to have a copy. My email is rattailusa@yahoo.com I was discharged from after care at 1 month so never got any kind of after care support or diet. I have regained about 30 lbs and would like to lose that . Thank you sisters and brothers for allowing me to participate...I needed this !

UGH!!! Week two update, I actually GAINED 1-1/2 pounds!! This is getting old, very frustrating!

Hi, I really needed a buddy as well. I have regained 30 lbs and so depressed because of it. I feel like a failure. Will like to be apart of this.

I fell way off the wagon, after getting on this thread I though it would be a motivator, nope, I’m up to 174 from 168. When the hell am I gonna take responsibility? I went to the gym today for the first time in almost a year. I need to stop my pity party and kick my own ass! Let’s do it girls! Screw out negative self talk! Fingers crossed

Hi I am so ready to be your accountability partner. I am 4 years out also. I started Thursday and i haven’t weighed myself but I need to lose 35 pounds. We can do this.

Hey WLS friends here to become accountable. I have been post for 5 years in the past 3 years I also have regained 50 lb I would like to lose this I'm starting off with a back to basics plan . I am also going back to swimming . I need help because I feel lost I am looking for ideas and encouragement to help me in this journey

So glad I found this website!! I had my Roux-N-Y in 2008 and have gained 13 lbs back since this past April. I had a Full Hysterectomy and went through some pretty crappy life events but I am just now noticing the weight gain and I'll be damned if I'm going to go back to the very same habits that almost destroyed me and my mentality!!! Let's join hands ladies and conquer this..once and for all!! The Food WILL NOT win....

My before and after:


Do not let what you cannot do, interfere with what you can do!

I think I am going to try the Keto lifestyle. Seems easy enough and way more food choices than I could ever consume. But I didn't come this far to slip back into being fat!

Food List for a CARB Free lifestyle.

Thoughts from anyone who's done this with sucess...??

I've always heard God puts you where he wants you. What a blessing that I have found this post! Like many of you, my story is a VERY long one -- my Sister and Niece were murdered; my lap band "slipped" which required a revision surgery (there is more to my story, but I'll stop there).

At my highest weight, I was at 250 pounds. In this lap band journey, my lowest weight was 170 pounds. I am dealing with a "'re-gain", and currently weigh 199 pounds. I have abandoned my exercise program, and my love affair with food continues **sigh**.

I am looking to get back on track. My doctor has set my goal weight at 180 pounds, but my own personal goal is 170 pounds. I feel like I have forgotten all of the "rules" -- a tad overwhelmed about how and where to start.

My lap band is currently empty, but I am scheduled for a fill in 3 weeks, barring any issues/reflux, etc.

My goal is to lose 30 pounds. Your stories, and posts are encouraging.
