You are not alone. There are many of us that struggle with weight gain. Once the honeymoon period is over from our surgery and great weight loss, life becomes real. Bad habits and food triggers slowing a merge. Look into a twelve step program to try to get to the root. We have addiction to flour, sugar and wheat. Check out OA, FA, or FAA. Find a support group. Once again you are not alone. I am in the same boat. I know what I need to do, yet I can't seem to make it through a day without screwing up. People tell me One day at a time. I believe  it's more One Meal at a time.

I have gone to a couple Food addicts in recovery meetings. The food plan is a lot!! but it appears to be a twelve step program to help us understand. Kind of like counseling. Kay Sheppard I'm reading right now " From the First Bite". I  am praying to get this right. Surgery and the honeymoon after for a couple years was amazing. So sad that I have allowed the bad stuff back in. I do know that my sleeve still has restriction, it's just me putting crap into my system. Sounds like counseling is helping you keep up the good work.

Hi, I totally understand and was thinking the same thing. No one ever said anything about needing a revision on this website. I have heard of plenty of people who unfortunately have gained their weight back even with the RNY. I do know this was and continues to be a tool not a guarantee. I also know that my sleeve still works at times, I still get frothy at times and pain with over eating; however I have also learned that if I eat a cookie or another slider food the pain goes away. Which is horribly WRONG !!!. I am at my highest weight since 12/11 also at 186. I am sad and frustrated with myself.  I am interested in hearing about the possibility of a revision.

I am so depressed and beating myself up. I have my VSG in dec 2011. My lowest weight was 165. I never reached my goal of 150 :(. I maintained my weight until this past winter/spring/summer. I had several foot and leg surgeries and was non weight bearing for 8 weeks. The pain has been unbelievable at times. My son and his wife seperataed which for someone reason caused me great heartache and depression. I love them both so much and she was such a great friend/ daughter. Well now I'm making excuses. I have gained 20 pounds since March!!! :( I was eating cookies and drinking diet Pepsi to address my inward pain. Help Help HELP How do I get back on track and will I ever reach goal?

I understand your frustration, I am 3 years out and never reached goal. I have just started the plan over reading over my physician recommendations. I am starting from 800 calories, under 25 carbs, over 70 protein and at least 100 oz of h20.. The past two days have been Horrible!!! Good luck 

Do you think that four days of protein shakes and liquids will reboot my weight-loss? Will it detox my carb cravings? I have four days off in a row that I can devote totally to myself and getting my program back on track. Does anyone have any other ideas that they'd like to share?

I still get the foams at times even 2 years out .

Two and half years. I have maintained the same weight now 16 months. :( never did reach my goal. My surgeon, said most people lose 60-90 pounds. I am down 68 :) would love to reach my goal which is another 25 pounds. My weight won't go down at this point for some strange reason.

As anyone noticed that mixing your protein ( chicken, turkey ...) on top of a green salad makes you feel hungry earlier? Could veggies be a slider food?

I have hypothyroidism, have had it for years. Do you still get your labs drawn and if so what ones do you have drawn

Has anyone developed adhesions after surgery? If so what were your symptoms and treatment?

Thank you, for this post. I have found that moderation is my down fall. I have  should have stuck to abstinence because now I have gained some back and my cravings are outrageous :(   I have never reached my goal and I beat myself up frequently for failing even with my sleeve.

 How do I get back on track ? Any suggestions on how to cleanse from carbs again?

That's awesome.
