I had my sleeve surgery10/15/2010, where I had a gall bladder removed two hernias repaired.

Lost 14 lbs 5 days after surgery...no longer taking any diabetes meds, high blood pressure, and a Water pill to reduced retention in legs.

Started out staying on the program for September 2012. Then alot of health issues started up on my wife. Climbing stairs was getting difficult.So down-sizing the town home we were renting to 2x2 apartment and downsizing my studio was an added stressor. That's only in in 2012 and found out that we have to move again because they were closing down the place we just moved in and add stress I started to nibble on Snacks to cope with trying to make thur the next big or little stress that had me on edge.

All the weight I lost I've gained all back except 4-5lbs. In the same process I'm now and always been lactose and soy intolerant. Eatting has hazards and unable to eat many things. So simple diet of whitemeat and skinless fowl has settled well.

Sometimes and use the word search for something to be done. I just need cheese find my way back into any fights out to help me get to get me back on my feet in any way to me masters the addictions of food will be helpful.

How much total weight had you lost prior to gaining it back?

You are here looking for help, that's a good start. Its not impossible to re-lose what you lost. You might consider therapy first then a possible revision 2nd... just my opinion. Its not hard to regain the weight, I am almost 2 years out and if I didn't keep track of myself I could go back easily. Do you still have some restriction?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
