20 pounds regain normal?

On this blog entry one of the comments was:

Sometime between 18 and 30 months the body learns how to absorb calories again and a 20 pound bounceback regain is normal. Don't beat yourself up over it. It is not what you are eating, it is your intestines growing more celli to help them hold more of the calories for what you eat. This would have happened without the popcorn, sugarfree candy, etc.

It is normal part of healing.

Really?  We have this to look forward to? 

 With VSG we never had a problem not absorbing calories .. it is not a malabsorption surgery.  We have to be more strict with what we eat then bypass folks because we do absorb everything we eat.

if you notice .. the poster had RNY .. not VSG

I knew that about the sleeve.  Just wasn't thinking, and didn't notice that she was RNY!

Thanks!

Kevin,

I have meant to tell you that you are totally rocking your sleeve.  Your progress is amazing.  Keep up the incredible work.

 Well thanks SoSoHappy!!!  I really appreciate that     

Wow, check you out Kevin!!!
I see a major Kevin Fan Club being developed here on OH. 
TEAM KEVIN!!!

 hehe Jenn!  I just need a vampire movie to play in now I guess 

BTW:  I've been with the Shagdoll fan club for months now 

 I am starting the Kevin and jenn fan club. You both are awesome. Love the advice both of u have to offer. 

That person had a gastric bypass.....not a sleeve.  And yes...RNY does lose their "caloric" malabsorption after a few years.

Don't mash every WLS together.

We are very different.

Thanks.  I didn't even notice that it was RNY.  Duh!
