Gaining weight back

However, one can't order people to write in a certain way as long as they don't violate the board rules. If her style is bothering you, put her on ignore.


Exactly my point. I like that all kinds of support are given because we are all different and need different styles. I needed that style so I'm glad that it is here for others who do. There's plenty of all styles.

  • Go back to food tracking,
  • Make sure you are getting your 64 oz of Water,
  • get back to doing your 10K steps or whatever exercise level you are at,
  • cut your carbs,
  • increase your Protein.
That's what I do when I want to really drop the lbs.


This is the general advice usually given. But the OP, should she ever return, says she doesn't eat any carbs and does all those things. So we are trying to get more detail from her to help her specifically.

If she is doing all those things and still gaining, she should visit her doctor. Probably not a bad idea anyhow.

This is kind of random now and maybe also off topic but this irks me since a whole while: general advice is given.

What happened to "diagnosis before treatment"?

When it comes to problems with gaining/stalls/etc. that have likely to do with food intake (or maybe supplement intake as well) I think the first advice should be that evaluation is necessary, i. e. "food tracking" and if there is a problem identified: "why is that problem there?".

Everything else comes later.

I think she comes across as straight talking, no nonsense helpful.

We all respond to different things. Those kinds of responses were exactly what HELPED me in my early days. So I am glad there are all kinds of responses on here.

It's a bulletin board. Short of people being overtly nasty, which she is not, we all need to learn to take what's useful to us and leave the rest! Just my humble opinion.

Thank you. I won't bother to respond. If people think I'm rude they know were the block button is. But I have no intention to take 'advice' on how I come across over the internet lol. [emoji4] I know I mean nothing but positive vibes to everyone. And I have no reason to be rude to strangers I don't even remember after I've spoken to them.

You can do the same.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
