My weight has increased 20 pounds from my stable point over the past few months....

So I got my surgery a year and a few days ago, and my weight dropped from 315ish to 268 at the lowest, and was hovering around 270 for awhile.....

Now, I went to a doctors appointment when I was at 278...now I weighed in at around 295 at home.......

I dont want to go to my doctors and tell them this. They saw my weight gain and told me to go on a 600 calorie a day liquid diet and I was like "LOL NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" because it just sounded ridiculous and impossible. Sleeve or not, thats borderline starving yourself. Thats a BIG problem as to why I gained weight. A part of me was like "I'll show them!!!"..............

and now my clothes arent fitting, so I sure showed them...

Holy shit guys, I do not know how to show you I am not a troll.

I think I was a VERY poor candidate having an eating disorder, and I wasnt ready. Thats 10000000000% sure. My weight keeps going up and up and up and all I feel I can do right now is either get help or passively watch my weight increase.

RJ's/beginning, I do not know any body who has FAILED after the surgery like I have. As in, went in the COMPLETE other way. I think I am so insecure and maybe depressed because there was a party last night with a lot of my friends, and I chose to stay inside. Why? Because I dont like going out in public, where pictures will be taken and shit, knowing my friends will be thinking "Man, he really let himself go....."

Have you taken any of our advice yet? As in DONE anything differently yet?

If not, what else would you like us to do?

Failing is not an option. Putting it on hold..maybe. But you need to find help so that you can succeed okay......You seem very intelligent to me...I know it is in there somewhere and you can do it..You have to want to put the work into it and get into it....You will get out of it a healthy new and happier you.....

No going back..You did this..Time to go forward and take the leap to a better you..Come on dig your nails in and get at it...You got this!

You need us..were here....We will try to help you! Okay!!!!!!!!!!!

VSGAnn, honestly? No. But I was going to go either today or tomorrow and go to costco and get the Protein shakes and live off of those for a week....Have 4 or so a day...or try.

Well failing IS an option because I am doing it. But its not the right option, the right option would be to go get those Protein Shakes and follow the doctors orders and live off of them for a bit.

Add in salads, lean meats and Greek yogurt if you need food. First three days will suck but you can do this!

I have chicken, but honestly I havent been cooking in awhile and that could be my problem. When I was cooking, my weight was going up but very slowly. Now since I havent been cooking, its been going up pretty fast.

I want low-prep foods, so I think Ill stick with yogurt and the shakes. I dont trust salads because at costco theres these premade salads for 300 calories and I can have two of them easily...

Where's your mom? Where is your family support?

My mom's the reason I made this throwaway...what happened last time on another account is that I posted on here, it got sent to my email, my email for some reason autologged on, on her computer, so if she loaded up the website email then it would log on to my email...she would see bariatric pal or VSG whatever it was, then freaked out and talked to the surgeons.

Caused her a lot of anxiety and shit so I dont tell her, because then she freaks out and when she freaks out, it pushes me away from her....and we are already pretty far away as is......

I'm my own support....and Im not doing a good job

You sound like a guy that used to post before. Very much the same thing.

Oops.. just read the above post

You remember me all this time ago? Am I really one of the very few who struggles here?

The struggles and complete disregard for your own health and happiness is very unique

Wow seriously? I am a bit shocked honestly...
