Regain Board

Several of us recently started a "Regain Board" that is a PRIVATE OH group and we are currently looking to add a couple of new members.  We purposely put a limit on how many people could join so it wouldn't become overwhelming.  Due to the lack of participation by a few members, we now have a couple of openings.

RULES:
You MUST be over 2 years out from surgery AND have experienced at least a 15 lb regain.

You MUST be an active participant-if you don't post 2-3 times a week your membership will be terminated. (as recently happened).

You MUST be willing to work hard to lose your regain.  This is a NO FLUFF board-if you talk the talk, you better walk the walk or except the fact that we're gonna call you on it.  It's not fairy farts and rainbows-we don't accept excuses (unless REALLY legitimate) and we don't accept WHINING.

What is said on the board, STAYS on the board-it is private for this very reason.  No one is allowed to lurk and not participate because some very serious topics are discussed and it NEEDS to remain private.  It is a SAFE place to be able to express what you feel and know that it's not going to be spread around as gossip. 

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please PM me.  There are 5 moderators who will all vote for admission.  Remember we only have a couple spots this time so if you don't get in, hang in there.  I'll keep your info for when more spots open.  If you can't commit to the posting requirement, please don't apply.  All we ask is for 10 minutes/day 3 days a week minimum...Aren't you worth that?   

 

 Yet again a "private" group thing???  

  Doesn't OH have a "failed WLS" =  regain forum?   

Difference is...these people haven't FAILED...and YES, it's private to keep out LURKERS....hmm, wonder who that might be?

PAUL-it's a shame you're asking this just to be hateful and nosey, and I'm probably wasting my time, explaining, but I'm having one of my "Christian moments":   This "regain board" is unlike any other I have ever been part of, including the popular "Back on Track" OH board. This board is NOT for failures-it is for people who have lost their way, and are needing help finding it back-looking for SINCERE support-both to GIVE and RECEIVE. Nobody is looking to be resleeved/surgically revised, etc. We are working on WHY we regained, so we don't do it AGAIN. It has been a VERY POSITIVE experience, in the short time we have been together. Speaking for myself, I am now NINE pounds from GOAL....CAN YOU SAY THAT???? I'd invite you to join the group, but I'm afraid the other Administrators would overvote me. I hope someday you can find the friendship/love/support/happiness/unconditional acceptance I have found.

Oh Stephanie you are heaven sent to me today.  I am so upset because I have gained.  I have been in a tail-spin since I had a hysterectomy in Oct. 2009.  It has been one thing after another and now I am up thiry pounds.  I would love to be a part of your board.  I feel like I am the only one having issues.  I feel like I have failed myself and this surgery so badly.  Anyway I know you posted this sometime back but I just today decided I have to get the ball rolling...not in January or even NEXT week.  TODAY is the day!!!  Hope you are doing well.  I have missed ya'll so much!!!  Love and Hugs!!  Shelia
