Hi,

My surgery date was 3.16.16. Pretty quickly I began losing weight and achieved my weight goal in November 2016. My weight has stayed pretty close to 166-172 lbs since then but in the late 2 months my weight has jumped to 181 lbs. I am very concerned and afraid of this. Last month I weighed myself and was 181 lbs and Tuesday it was the same. I have ramped my excercise back up and clamped back down on the foods I am eating again.

Has anyone had anything like this happen? Were you just as terrified? What reasons were you given as to what is a factor of the weight gain. Any tips anyone can give me to get rid of those 10 lbs?

Thanks a

Are you tracking what you eat and were you doing so after hitting goal and the gain? Were you weighing yourself regularly? I'm about six months behind you time wise - my surgery was on 8.23.16 and I'm still working toward goal, but I find if I'm not religious about tracking, weighing my food every few weeks to remind myself what portion sizes are supposed to look like and weighing myself at least once a week on the scale, it is very easy to get off track.

I weighed myself before leaving on vacation on 7/1 and then again upon return on 7/9 - I knew I gained because I was drinking pina coladas, laying on a beach and eating way more, including snacks, than I should. I gained 8 pounds during vacation. Six of those came off in the first four days - I cut out alcohol and upped my activity and water intake. I figure and other few days and the remainder should be gone and I can get back to climbing over the 100 pound barrier I've been facing.

From what I have read, not tracking and measuring portions can cause all kinds of problems. Best of luck.
