Weight gain, looking for meaningful discussion/mutual support not lectures!

[CV124 7]

I hear you. I also had my sleeve surgery in August 2013 and last year I gained back about 20 lbs. My doc explained that the stomach is a muscle that stretches over time, so she recommended a "reset" (there's a 5 day and 2 week version - you can google it -- it essentially recreates the initial 8 week post-surgery diet from Clear Liquids to solids in a compressed time frame) to shrink the pouch. I did the 5 day version and lost 10 of the 20 I want to lose in the first month. I definitely get full much faster again, and it made it easier for me to get back on track. If that doesn't work, my doc discussed a combination of medications that control cravings and make it easier to get back to goal and stay there. I opted for the reset because I don't want to take medications if I can avoid it, but I will if I can't get to my goal soon because I am eager to have the Excess skin removal surgery, which will be the crowning glory from this journey. I'm interested to hear if anyone out there has tried the medication therapy yet and if so, whether it was helpful.
