I guess I should have said too many people fail because they revert to their former eating habits.

I think this is still some kind of slippery slope.

When we're talking about "eating habits" or "lifestyle habits" that were bad enough (bad in the sense of severe) to cause a weight so high the patient needed WLS we're IMO are no longer talking about "habits" but about addiction, eating disorders or at least severely disordered eating.

Referring to all of these issues as "habits" doesn't IMO cater to the severity of the disease of morbid obesity.

This is just my opinion of course but I think we don't do ourselves a favor by diminishing or belittling our issues by referring to them as "habits". Let's call these issues and behaviors that come with them by their names: Eating disorders. Disordered eating. Addictive behavior.

And once we start talking about eating disorders and addictions we can take a look at other eating disorders and addictions and long term treatment success. WLS patients seem to do fairly well in comparison.

I do still talk to a lot of people that dont come her anymore. Most all have gained all their weight back. Two that were my inspirations.....

Did they stop coming here because of the weight gain or was it completely unrelated?

Just thinking it could be two ways around.

Leaving the boards -> getting lost and gaining

Started gaining -> leaving the boards because it's too depressing reading about the success of other users

None. I check for a few minutes every once in a while but not on here enough to notice. I always hope for good recommendations on foods to eat. I get stuck on certain foods and need to expand my horizons. If anyone knows the thread of food recs (read it and never found it again) please tell me where it is!

There is a food and nutrition forum if you scroll all the way down to the bottom.

I'm trying to think when i left for a while i did gain weight. Not sure if that was from not coming, having the band removed, are the 30lbs gain.... i'm sure it all factors in.
But either way, i don't miss a few of the people...... But, i do miss a lot of them.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
