I'm in a similar boat. Sleeved in October of 2011 and have gained about 40#, with about 30 of those in the last 18 months due to some GI issues that seem to be close to being resolved. I've really hit "bottom" and am ready to restart. I've tried the 1000 calories that my nutritionist recommended, working out 3 times a week (burning 400-500 calories af at time and even Paleo and nothing has worked. The scale is going the other direction! A friend of mine is doing a program called Omnitrition and has had great success with it. Has anyone ever heard of it or used it?

Thank you. I am 4.5 years post-op and have regained about 30#. I'm desperate to lose them and needed motivation. Thank you so much for sharing and congratulations! Keep up the amazing work! Sleeve in October of 2011 Lost 95 lbs from heaviest Gained back 25 (working at shrinking that number)

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's cancer. Hopefully he will find healing soon. I've started back on the healthy track today....half of the day down and so far so good. Fingers crossed! I'll post soon. If I can do it, you can too! I'm the worst at coming up with excuses.... Sleeve in October of 2011 Lost 95 lbs from heaviest Gained back 25 (working at shrinking that number)

I use the unjury and LOVE it! It's by far the lowest calorie and highest Protein one I've found. If someone else has good ideas, I'd love to hear them! Sleeve in October of 2011 Lost 95 lbs from heaviest Gained back 25 (working at shrinking that number)

Thanks! I should also mention that this weight gain came about in the midst of my going to the gym 3xs a week! I like the idea of the 5 day rest. What is that? Sleeve in October of 2011 Lost 95 lbs from heaviest Gained back 25 (working at shrinking that number)

Hi everyone. I had my sleeve in October of 2011. I lost almost 100 lbs and was doing great! I had been able to keep it off pretty well for a while and was feeling really good. Then, in 2014 I started developing a rash around where my excess skin was on my stomach. My surgeon told me the only way to get rid of the rash was to have the excess skin removed. So, in October of 2014, I had the skin removed and a diastase fixed. A few months later, I developed lymphocytic colitis and SIBO but took over a year to finally get rid of them! Finally, those issues are resolved but in the meantime, I've gained back about 25 lbs since then. I'm looking for motivation and suggestions to help me lose the weight again! #feelingdesperate Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Ya'll! I just found this site and the timing couldn't be better! I had my VSG this past Wednesday, Oct. 12th. I go in tomorrow to have my drain removed. I am currently experimenting with diluted juices, Crystal Light, and soups. I weighed about 250# at my heaviest and have tried everything to get that down. I made it to 200# on Atkins, gained back 50 after having my third child, lost #25 on Weight Watchers, and have held steady for the last year. I finally decided I needed to make this drastic change in my life. I am very excited for the journey and look forward to sharing with all of you. Sincerely, Purpletmar
