Down 30 lbs. since surgery (11/26) and 80 lbs. overall.
I haven't experienced regain, but my losses are definitely slowing. I'm only averaging 1000-1100 calories daily and working out 5-6 days a week. I've read that if you are exercising regulatory and not getting enough calories daily, then your weigh loss will slow significantly. Is there any truth to this?

Furnace quit working Saturday night so I've been doing battle with that. Have a couple more things to try tomorrow before throwing in the towel and calling a pro. Recovery is going well enough. I need to get my exercise amounts bumped up so I'm hopefully not dying when I get back to work.

Cowboy fans happy campers today after their win over Seattle. Dak Prescott played very well.
Watching Baltimore and LA Chargers. No dog in the fight but would like to see Baltimore pull it out.
REGAIN!! I am not doctor. I do not play one on TV. Any medical advise I share - consider the source and take it with a grain of salt This is dirty socks and skivvies information!
1. Old habits sneak back in. Eating crappy foods to excess and not staying active. I eat crap. Crap equal chips and sweets. Majority are Sugar Free but GF and I will share a cookie from Starbucks or Schlotzsky's more often than we probably should. Do my best to stay active, to wit my five miles on the treadmill, but not today. Got to feeling like I was fixing to blow chunks so stopped at four. Because of going out to do older brother's birthday supper tonight Instead of doing it at the normal time in the afternoon I walked earlier than normal.
2. Thinking the surgery "failed". Sorry but the surgery did not fail you. You failed it! See 1 above. Yes, sleeves/DS's can somewhat expand, bands slip and RNY's can be eaten past with fatty or sugary foods if you are of the 60% who don't dump.
3. Evolution. We may be modern age people but our bodies are of a stone age design. It is in our genetics for our bodies to adapt to adverse conditions.
Personally, I'm still at or near the original goal of 185. Been there going on ten years. Yes, I was down to 165 but it was at 18 months out and after my gall bladder was removed. Tried for the longest to keep it 170/175 or less. Was doing okay till X2 came into picture. For a RNY she ate like **** Ideally want to get back to 180 and stay there. Said that a year ago too and didn't make it. I endeavor to persevere.
Have a Great week!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

I'm happy I am down from last week. The sudden surge in weight has me really concerned. I've read about regain after 18 months post op, but think in reality it is just getting too comfortable in my new skin and not paying attention. Going on leave, and now entering the third week of furlough has me roaming around and grazing too much also.
Did any of you experience any regain post op? And what are your theories on it.
Great week to all!
