So interestingly? I lived like that for two years. 800 calories a day, one meal, one snack a day. Ate more on the weekends, but during the week, very little. Lost nothing. My trainer said he'd stop working with me unless I started eating. My PCP whom I approached for weight loss surgery (band at that time) said I didn't eat enough, that wasn't going to solve the issue.

I was desperate. I wasn't eating, I wasn't losing, I was fat, and I couldn't even get surgery! What the heck was I supposed to do?

The NUT and the trainer both insisted I start eating so I did. I immediately put on weight. I was terrified. They reassured me it would come off. I was paying these two a lot of money out of my own pocket to help me get healthy, so I decided to listen. The NUT would text me 3 times a day to check and yell at me if I hadn't eaten. Sure enough, it did slowly come off. But yes, initially I did put on weight, just as the poster is saying happened to her.

You can indeed eat so little you go into starvation and when you eat more, your body holds on to every damn calorie until it realizes the famine is over. She could well be telling the truth on what happened to her. I would have written the same post as her (minus quitting smoking). (I didn't read all the posts just the first couple of pages).

Things is, I did the starvation diet because I had put on weight from eating all the wrong things. So I was fat, and the starvation wasn't helping me get thin. It's a complete mind f/ck, pardon my language.

The biggest problem with that thread was not the OP...although her story did change as she went along. But rather it was another poster who gave some rather deluded advice.

If you don't start reading all the threads in their entirety I'm going to have to revoke your super-sarcasm-enabler status.

what? Telling the morbidly obese person to trust her body and do what it tells her over the doc and nutritionist isn't sound advice??

Well if you're going to go that far....you may as well perform your own surgery. I believe I could do a sleeve on myself but not sure what size bougie to use.

It'd be a bitch getting the angles just right to sew it all together...you'd have to have a zillion mirrors.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
