Anyone have weight regain?

Actually about 3 months ago I gained about 4 pounds back...someone at work said my pants looked tight and I cut carbs completely for 8 weeks (KETO) and lost those plus a few more...I really think weight gain that is significant has to be from spiraling out of control with grazing and poor food choices...I mean that's how I gained those 4 pounds and it scared the crap out of me! Are you gaining?

I’ve gained 35lbs back, I speak with the office tomorrow. I had my son in January of 2019, sleeved October of 2017. Definitely lost weight from breastfeeding and got back down to 138, I’m in the 170s now. I’ve lost control of myself again.

I’ve gained 34 in 2020 (Covid) and i obviously have not gotten a handle on the emotional eating.

i had only lost 100 lbs with the sleeve (which was 50%) of the total I needed to loose to get to the ideal weight my dr suggested .. then it plateaued after 1.5 - 2 Yrs and dr said that’s great and that the honeymoon was over I needed to focus on maintaining from here.
The support from the clinic hère ands after 2 years and I have not found any help or know what to do to get back on track since Covid started

With working from home, the added stress of an unsupportive co-parent for my special needs son, im spinning and I’m worried to put on the rest ....

Sorry for the rant.. I’m scared and I’m so worried

Dont be too hard on yourself when you have a lot of stuff to deal with already. Make small changes to get back on track, like cutting out a luxury snack or commiting to smaller portions. I have been struggling 2.5 years out as well. Look on FB for online support groups as well. A lot of groups are mostly online now due to the pandemic. I keep having to remind myself that the sleeve was just a tool to get started and the rest is up to me now. So we are not failing ourselves, just transitioning to a new lifestyle with a larger pouch. I also have to remind myself that while my sleeve is much larger than it used to be, its still as small as when the normies get the stomach flu and brag about their small stomachs.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
