Past the one year mark, and I've lost about 135 pounds (25 before prep and surgery). Holding the current loss is no problem - I even lose a pound every once in a while - but I'm ready to start again on a more calorie restricted diet. It's almost as if I've finally gotten over the joy of losing so much, getting new clothes, etc. and I've realized the importance of the next sixty pounds I need to lose.

Any suggestions as I gear up to start? I do a lot of walking (5K-10K steps a day) and rarely eat out. No restrictions except I don't like seafood.

Has anyone successfully done a second push and reached their goal? I appreciate the advice.

I am 5years post-op. I originally lost 120 lbs and have put back on 40. I am now attempting to lose the excess again. It is much harder this time!!! Working out, cut the carbs and one day at a time...

I am 13 months post op. Down 137 pounds. I am very happy with my results. I feel blessed to have this chance for a great outcome. 54 years old
