Can I ask what you eat in a day to get 3000 calories without trying?
My day, for example:
Cheese and peanuts
courgetti with two eggs in some butter
steak and egg or steak and prawns
bag of pork rind
tea with collagen
1700 calories
Hi Sunshine.
I am 11 yrs post op. Lost over 100 total. I regained about 25 lbs in the last 2 years. I started a month ago cutting out all unnecessary carbs. Keep it between 20-30 grms per day. I am starting to lose again. My goal is to get back to my lowest post op. But honestly any small amount is very noticeable on me. So I may not need to go back to 161. I did get a lot of comments back then that I looked unhealthy. I think people were so use to me being almost 300 lbs.

SUCCESS IS ONLY A STEP AWAY
I've never had any problem with 100g+ of protein and 120g+ of fats, and I eat less than 30g of carbs. As I say, I've been doing this without losing weight.
I'm trying to get my calories higher but actually find it hard work to eat more than about 1800 calories a day - a little higher than I have been eating. But I'm going to try for at least a couple of days a week of 2000 calories as it does seem to help.
I love Coke Cherry Zero, do you cut this too when you are trying to lose weight.

I'm here. I check it the site most days and respond when I feel I can add value. I read the DS and the General boards.

I started dieting pre-puberty, but despite also being athletic, I still gained. My mom and I were doing diets together since I was 8, on and off. I still gained. I understand your plight. I also understand a surgeon being hesitant to do a DS on you at such a young age, despite it is likely the only thing that will give you success.
You're older now, wiser, and they can now believe that you are perfectly willing and capable of doing what is needed to be healthy. I concur with everything the two before me said.
The terms for the hybrid versions that surgeons (that never EVER did a real DS) are peddling are called SIPS, SADI and Loop-DS. We are already seeing revisions from these to regular DS, and the last thing you need is a 3rd procedure, right?

At my lowest, I didnt look very vivacious, according to others. Regaining 15 lbs filled my drawn facial features back up, then the next 10 lbs made me look normal, even though I'm officially overweight by the BMI charts. I'm comfortable as a size 8-10 right now. I'm not perfect, but I'm maintaining this comfortable spot with no effort at all.

I visit weekly, but most have moved on to other social media to converse.
