Hello all!

Short Story...

I went to my families house for Christmas & I was discussing with my Aunt & Sister how I was getting the Sleeve in 2017. They were both against it, saying i should try naturally & I need to get physically in the gym.. I was letting all of that go in one ear & out the other, until my Aunt said 3 of her friends gotten gastric surgeries done & all have gained their weight back plus more.. now if she would have said at least 1 gained their weight back, okay cool. But she said all 3. Is it possible to just gain the weight back like that after losing that tremendous amount? Im curious after that conversation..

There is NO DOUBT in my mind that it is possible to gain the weight back and more after WLS. At almost 11 months post op I have noticed that my hunger is returning and my restriction is less. As @@Babbs stated, it takes constant diligence and hard work. I let my guard down for 1 week at the beginning of this month. I stopped logging on MFP and ate what I wanted, when I wanted it...I gained 3 pounds. If I continued to do this, it is entirely possible to gain 5+ pounds per month. That is 60+ pounds back in a years time. I will not let my guard down again, I have 25 more pounds before I reach my first goal of 106 pounds lost. I spent one hour with my counselor yesterday coming up with a plan for what to do If I feel like I am letting my guard down again(or sabotaging myself).
