Gained Weight....I need HELP Please Sunday Feburary 7,2016

Infants have to crawl before they can walk. We're adults. We walked the walk when we lost weight after surgery. Some fall down. There's no need to crawl again. Just get up and start walking. You walked before. You should remember how.

Those who forget are doomed to repeat....

That's truly not fair Grim Traveller...You're being judgmental.....Don't you make mistakes?  Don't ever forget to remember....To human is to err....I hope you never go through regaining weight or a life challenge.

I'm not being judgemental in the least. I would never, ever criticize someone for regaining.

What I am criticizing is your insistence that people need to "crawl" by going through the stages of liquid diet, purees, etc. It's not necessary in the least. I'm saying it's better to "walk" again by eating the plan we were all given, and followed when we were losing. Dense protein, no sugar, starches, white carbs. You'll need to do this after the 5 day ridiculous diet ends. Skip ahead to day 6. Start eating right, again. There's no need to crawl, however much you seem to think it's a requirement.

If you read my posts I'm not "insisting" on anything.  I simply stated what worked for me....and if you're being totally honest - the 5-day pouch test is liquids for the first 2 days only with protein the remaining 3 days...Everyone on this board are adults and can make their own decisions.

Let me say again:  FOR ME it's the mental piece...If I don't pick it up I will NOT eat it....

It's PROTEIN for ALL 5 days, since the liquids are also protein. It's just a progression from least firm to most firm. 

For every single one of us it's a mental issue. If we ALL don't pick it up, we won't eat it. 100 percent agreement. 

Nobody's pouch is being reset, or tested. My plan works better than this pouch test reset nonsense. Day 1 through day 10,000. Eat dense protein. Avoid white carbs. Couldn't be simpler.

You accuse me of being judgemental, yet it's you who has been judging me, and I don't appreciate it. But that's OK, because within a few days you'll disappear for a couple more years.

Grim Traveller - you are being judgmental on my preferences....I didn't ask you to approve nor like what I choose to do for me.

I'm not sure what you meant by saying "within a few days I'll disappear for a couple of years" and quite frankly I don't care. I will say this - it is none of your business if I come, go and/or stay....and I'm sure you have so much more you can focus instead of me, my posts and what I am doing. 

I think he means that until your recent return on 1/16/16 to OH, your last post in the RNY forum was 1/29/15.  And the last one prior to that was 9/4/14.

Here's a link to your posting history:

So whether you stick around or do a hit-and-run drive by again is anyone's guess   All opinions and experiences are welcomed and encouraged, but spreading false information will result in additional dialog.

GeekMonster - it's none of his business nor his right to monitor me on this website...Don't he have a life? I mean Really? He took the time to track when I came, left and returned? and based on that he judged me? REALLY? If you read my posts, it was about me and NO ONE ELSE.....There was a FEW who decided to challenge me.....and I did not allow them to. What is REALLY going on with him that he takes the time to focus on me? After all, if you read my posts they ALL referred to ME and no one else...So what is REALLY the problem?
