Think Oprah has given up?



Recommended Posts

My question is why is everyone SO surprised that she gained weight back? Hasn't she done this her entire life? Why all the surprise now? Everytime I turn on th tv, someone is mentioning how she's up to 200 pounds, like it's never happened before.

Well I'm not surprised.... does that count? :wink:

So, I'm confused... Kirstie Alley had WLS?

I don't think it's surprise so much as amazement that with a doc hanging on her coat tails all the time, a personal trainer and chefs, she still can't keep it off. As for why I started this thread, I was annoyed with Oprah's attitude towards WLS considering how she herself failed time and time again.

I hadn't heard Kirsty Alley had WLS. I thought she did the Jenny Craig diet.

Me too. Last I heard that since finishing with Jenny Craig she was planning to develop her own weight loss program for people to follow.

If she followed Jenny Craig and lost, how can she create her own weight loss program and claim it works? I'd think Jenny might have something to say about that!

Here is an article on it...it explains it better than I could. Apparently she has Jenny Craigs blessing. Kirstie Alley Launching Her Own 'Weight-Loss Brand' - Bodywatch, Kirstie Alley : People.com

No offense, but if Kirstie wants to start her own weight loss brand, shouldn't she start using it now and lose some weight before she trys to sell it? Just a suggestion...

Has Kirstie gained back the weight she lost on JC? I haven't seen any pics of her recently.

Last time I saw her she looked pretty good.

Kirstie or Oprah?

I don't know why Oprah doesn't just get WLS. I can't believe anyone would choose to yo yo diet as long as she has and not look for an alternative.

I was talking about Kirstie. She had gained it all back last I heard. I was trying to find some pictures, but I haven't been able to find any yet.

She hasn't had WLS, but she has "hated" on some folks who have. Knowing how she's struggled, you'd think if she couldn't muster some sympathy, then she could at least keep her big yap shut.

I didn't know that about her but I did know she was planning to open her own WL center and when I heard that, I laughed and laughed. Does that make me mean? :blushing:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
