You must have an Iron sleeve! It would literally take me all day to eat one slice! No joke!

Carb heavy, squishy slider foods clear my stomach pretty quick. If we're talking a medium, I reckon I could get down a slice an hour.

I’m 12-13 months out and I’ve regained about 2kg (5lbs) in the last 2 weeks. It’s seriously not that hard. I’m terrified! I’ve mostly stuck to healthy food I’ve previously eaten but in larger quantities. I’ve been snacking all day (lots of Peanut Butter and bananas which is only good in moderation), halo top and tons of dark chocolate (OK, not so healthy).

My sleeve is not restrictive on halo top and chocolate. I need to refocus but it’s very difficult at the moment. I’m seriously struggling. I’ve had plateaus before but not gains. I’m devastated. I keep dreaming of hitting that elusive “healthy” BMI but it seems impossible. Is this self sabotage? My steroid medication? My weight doesn’t want to be this low? I have no idea!

But yeah, not to alarm anyone but weight gain is not impossible. It’s not even that difficult!

I'll bet it's the steroids. They're famous for weight gain.

I often wonder and can't figure out how its possible to regain weight after surgery?

I had my original VSG back in October of 2012. I successfully lost 100lbs. amd kept it off until after I had my son in 2016. I even lost after he was born. By spring of 2017, I started gaining. I just had my revision VSG July 25th 2018. All of what the others have said is true. I went off the deep end, stopped tracking, drank diet soda and started eating larger portions because I dilated my stomach. I also found out that a portion of the upper stomach was not completely removed by my original surgeon. I was able to accommodate more than the average patient. Sad but true. I thank God I got a second chance.
