Rouchang, I understand! My surgery was 3.5 year ago, I lost 80 and I'm back up 26. Tomorrow morning, I'm starting a 10-day "re-set" that I found online. Maybe we can encourage each other?

I had my sleeve done in May 2014 and did really well in the months after. I was exercising and the weight was coming off. I was down 80 pounds at one point and on my way to my goal of losing 125. One year after surgery, I enrolled in seminary, changed jobs and moved to a new city. Slowly over the last two and a half years, I've regained 28 pounds. I'm miserable. I know I'm overeating. I know my pouch has stretched. I've started going back to the gym but I overeat, especially at night when I'm studying. Sorry for venting so much but I just needed some place to speak out where people will understand. So...my plan is to try a pouch re-set. I found a new primary care doctor who has referred me to a new bariatric practice (I don't live in the city where I had my surgery) but the first available appointment is almost 3 months from now. I found this 10 day pouch re-set plan online. https://www.obesitycoverage.com/the-pouch-reset-losing-weight-after-weight-regain/ Has anybody tried this? I think that by re-setting myself with this, continuing to go to the gym and finding emotional support, I can get back on track and hit my plan of losing 75 pounds by graduation in May 2018. Has anybody else out there re-gained like this? I feel really sad and alone and ashamed right now. Thanks for listening.
