Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I seen her on 20/20 last night...now this is just my opinion and I have nothing to back it up but it sounds like to me she had the gastric bypass surgery but she won't say that she did...I don't think she's denied it either...I think she just feels it's her personal business...which I agree with. So that's my thoughts on that. Retta2006@... wrote: Today she was on Dr.Phil promoting her book.Has anyone read it?I never have heard how she loss the weight.Does anyone know?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 That was my impression also. She never denied or said that she did anything else.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 She's definitely had gastric bypass...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 does any one else think her face is scary now that's she's lost so much weight? i think her face looked prettier with a little more meat on it. maybe that's just me. i think i'd rather lose weight thro exercise and ww than be restrained to eating 2 ounces at a time for the rest of my life. laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 She looks frightening if you ask me. Maybe if she changed her hair or toned down the makeup a bit it would help. Her face is just so BIG for the rest of her now!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I have been wondering about this as well. I saw her on The View the other day and I couldn't decide if it was her or some new gal they had gotten. I don't watch much TV anymore so it had bee a long time since I had seen the program but I was sick in bed with nothing else to do. Anyway, I was curious if it was her and if so what she did to loose the weight so I checked out her website. All the website will tell you is that you need to buy her book to find out her weight loss regimen. It also says she exercises a lot and tells about her fabulous trainer and all that good stuff. Personally I agree she looks a bit scary now...I think it's her eyes....they look as if they are about to pop out of her head. Not very nice of me to say... sorry. :o/ The rest of her looks great but her face looks drasticly different. I was also surprised to read that her " transformation " seems to have been a very fast one, it doesn't sound like it has even been a year, so I was also wondering about bypass surgery. Perhaps not though as there are plenty of people out there that have lost a lot of weight quickly. Tory lost a 100lbs in a year so it's very possible she did it with diet and exercise alone. Could just be she has a good personal trainer and a chef cooking for her like Oprah does. Ahhh, wouldn't it be nice... I'd take the chef over the personal trainer though.... then again maybe a Martial Arts trainer would be good. So far Martial Arts is the only exercise I have found that I truly enjoyed. I like the exercise high from all that adrenaline but convincing myself doing the exercise is worth the high is still a really hard sell ;o) Kris anagrl925 wrote: >does any one else think her face is scary now that's she's lost so much >weight? i think her face looked prettier with a little more meat on it. >maybe that's just me. > >i think i'd rather lose weight thro exercise and ww than be restrained >to eating 2 ounces at a time for the rest of my life. >laura > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 My thoughts are if she " didn't " have surgery...wouldn't you say...No I've done this with pure hard work? It seems like she's trying to keep it secret and avoids the question...so that is another reason that makes me think she did.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I suspect that she's not admitting to it because she once said that she would NEVER get weight loss surgery. Hey, people change their minds. I don't see why she's not admitting to it. The weight has just melted off of her so I think she had the bypass. Personally, I don't think I could get a bypass because I like food too much. I'm also not overweight enough to be a good candidate.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I agree with you. I think most of us that work our butts off exercising and eating right to loose the weight have a definite tendency to toot our own horns. I have no problem telling everyone I know how much weight I lost and how. It was darn hard work (still is sometimes) and I am proud of myself for succeeding. I have even dug out pictures to show to my new friends (we moved a year ago) how fat I was. Most of my friends are overweight and had a hard time believing that I was a fat girl ) It is also possible she won't say how she lost the weight in an effort to sell more books. Like " if you really want to know how she lost the weight buy the book " ....sure would make a good publicity stunt and sell a lot more books.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 You know, my head also looks too big for my body when I'm super skinny so I understand this. My older brother told me this.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Barbara, I think that we are just not used to looking at our self in this way and therefore to our brains it appears unbalanced. We need to remember that we are so used to looking at ourselves as overweight that we can't imagine what it looks to really be like " normal " weight. I'm sure you are beatiful in your new thin and healthy body. Kathleen > > You know, my head also looks too big for my body when I'm super skinny so I > understand this. My older brother told me this.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well, my “head too big for my body” time was when I was about 24. I’m now 42. Trust me - I’ve got a ways to go before I get back there. But that’s fine. I’m taking it day by day, losing slowly but steadily and improving my overall health in the process through exercise and better nutrition. I had such a great moment yesterday. I am in a challenge on the WW boards to stay OP and exercise 20 min/day. Last night I hadn’t exercised yet so I popped in a abs tape. My 6YO lay down on the floor with me and did the exercises. I love being a good role model for my children. They watch what I eat, what I do, and it’s rubbing off on them. They talk a lot more now about healthy choices. My 6YO ate ½ of a medium pizza on Friday night and we talked about how on Saturday she’d have to make some healthier food choices. She did. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I think she looks great and I think she sounds great. When she weighted 300 pounds (not sure how much she weighed) I hated hearing her talk on 'The View'. She couldn't even breath when she talked. It sounded like she was wore out just from talking. I couldn't stand it hearing her gasp between sentences. I think she deserves a lot of credit. Gastric bypass is not the whole answer. You still have to work hard at it. I know someone who had this surgery over a year ago and she may have lost 50 pounds by now but at her size you can't really tell. What I'm saying is that just because you have this surgery does not mean you will lose weight. You can stretch your stomach back out and eat just as much w/ the surgery. It still takes discipline and a change in life style. No matter what Star has done she is still having to change her life style and she deserves to be built up just like the rest of us. What if she is reading these posts? Not likely. But if she is we should be positive. She is working hard and she looks great.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 You are so right. I am living proof that you can get gastric bypass and still gain back weight. I had the surgery in 2001 and lost 120 pounds. I thank God for this but, over the last year, I put back 40 pounds of it. So I am asking for God's help to eat sensibly and so far WW Program is helping me. I am restricted in my portions so I do six small meals rather than three but I am doing flex points and it is working so far with God's help. I am glad to be here. Donna from Pa.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 One can tell that she's worked hard at the exercise portion. There's not a lot of flab showing on her. Her arms looks way better than mine do! I heard her talking on some news show the other day about her weight loss. They asked her why she wouldn't divulge how she lost her weight. Her reply was so sensible. She doesn't want to become the poster child for any specific kind of weight loss method. She wants people to go to their doctor and work with their doctor to find a solution that works for them. That's what she did, and the decision she made was based on sound medical advice from her doc. As I've said before, I don't think I could do gastric bypass. It's too much of a sacrifice for me.
