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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
