Thank you for sharing. I just joined this forum because 10 months out from surgery and I recently had a 10 pd gain after 2 months flat-line. Basically in looking back I'm lucky that I haven't gained more as the beginning of my flat line was when I started doing little cheats and not exercising faithfully. Those lifetime habits are so easy to slide back into and even if amounts eaten are still smaller for me carbs in equals wt gain. But facing my choices and making a change was hard because of guilt and shame and feeling alone in this failure. It really helps to know that I am not alone in having a backward slide. Just have to forgive myself and move on or I'll be stuck in blame land forever and not make changes I need to. Thank you for sharing your difficult experience. It has motivated me and helped feel less alone.
