Admitting your biggest weight loss fail ever!



Recommended Posts

So here we have all found a safe, medically monitored way to lose weight yay us . Even under the same guidelines, our experiences are all as unique as we are. Being 100% honest, what is the most over the top, ridiculous thing you have ever done to loose weight? How did it turn out for you? Were you open to people around you about what you were doing? Our fails play just as big a role as our successes in our journeys, I'm curious if people are as "jaded" as I was lol no judgement, just honesty please!

I am so jaded about so many things ????. Pre-op here and still can't admit I "need" this. I have yo-yo dieted my whole life. Been as low as 128 and as high as 332. Do I know I can do it without surgery yes, can I maintain? Not so easily. At 56 figure that it's certainly not going to be so manageable, that is why I "want" to go ahead. My fears---is this another "tool" on the yo-yo train. Seeing so many regain makes me worry (and I mean seeing them in person---customers of mine--5 yrs later). I eat well no fast foods, etc. but Portion Control not so great. In my head I beat myself and think, "why not go to gym diligently and work out to lose it...your going to have to go work out anyways, workout harder". Jaded doesn't even begin to describe...

If we are talking crazy diets, then mine was the "Hollywood" juice diet.

HCG and 500 calories for 6 weeks at a time. Lost 45 pounds and gained it all back.

Oh god!! I did that one one and off for a year and a half. My hair fell out and I screwed up my hormones!! That one has left me with an irrational obsession with the scale. I can only weigh myself once a week now :(

I think "hypnosis" was my favorite fail. It wasn't until recently I realized I "did" the HCG. Back in early 90s I went to a dr. in NYC everyone bragged about and got shots made from pregnant women's urine. Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, Atkins

@okiegirl1980 ..... a little background: hCG stands for human chorionic gondatropin. It's a hormone produced by the human placenta and it's extracted from the urine of pregnant women. According to the food and Drug Administration, it's approved for the treatment of "select cases of female infertility and hormone treatment in men."

The crazy s$ht will will try is insane. Sleeve still freaks me a bit, but I see that success and say even if for 5 years I can maintain, that works for me. I wish I could push up my psych evaluation.

HCG, Adkins, Ephedrine, hypnosis (don't eat the white foods, no kidding dumbass!) but my favorite was a self inflicted 425 calorie pizza diet. I found mini pizzas that were 425 calories and I ate one per day for 3 months. I felt horrible but I did lose weight.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
