The regain posts

Actually most of my activity anymore comes from people PMing me.

Sent from my phone. Please forgive brevity and spelling.

That is something to consider...

Agreed! Thought you were moving on MIZ. I’m over your attitude and I’m sure the others are too.

It means I decided to move forward with the conversation about regain. The subsequent questions and responses were about that. We are going to try and move on.

I really wish there were more VETS around to give us the real scoop on regain. I really want hear from people who have experience in the matter, I started a thread for it months ago, not one person responded that I could tell. I think they are all gone...

Maybe because all people on here want to hear on subjects like "losing weight" and "maintaining" and "regain" are variations of the following standard phrases:

- follow your program

- do the five day pouch test

- drink only plain Water

- don't eat carbs

- eat "lean protein" with every meal

- go to the gym five days a week

- you just have to try harder

Write anything that's not in line with this and you can see a lot of people going very wild. Why should anyone be keen on writing about the "real scoop" the way they experienced it when the reactions they'll be getting will be most likely far from positive?

True, maybe something with comments disabled? Maybe I want too much...

I don’t have to contribute to a thread to read and learn from it. I’m preop, so I don’t have any experience to contribute. And I’ve read and learned NOTHING from your “contributions” if you can call them that. I’m trying to learn from people’s experiences and have to sort through your insults to Creek instead. Crap that doesn’t even make sense like some bull about Apes.... geez.

I don't know. Truth is, I don't think I would have that much to say about regain and getting rid of the weight again.

I had some regain when I stopped smoking - that's when I got seriously into the strategies of "normal eating". No diet, no exercise program, no being-harder-on-myself. I got rid of the weight again without struggle.

Reactions I've got? "Oh, but we can't ever trust ourselves with food!!!"

Hm.

Creek referred to herself as an ape in a previous thread....you missed it. But go ahead and chime in there....if you haven't had surgery is regain really a concern for you? Or did you just see a chance to jump on the bandwagon and trash talk someone?

But that's why I think we need a compilation of stories not necessarily interactive threads for VETS. Their (and your)experience is already settled by time and not up for debate, I just want some information I can search through (easily) and gain what I gain.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
