You gotta help us out here if you want our help:
- Do you have traditional DS or new hybrid (SIPS, SADI, LoopDS)?
- When did you get your DS?
- What is a typical day of eating look like?

I go once in the morning and I'm done for the day.
I would start looking at what you're eating that would cause this change. Drinking straight milk or whey protein will do such nasty things to me.

I had the same concerns around 13 months post op and as recommended earlier, I started adding carbs to find the perfect balance (potatoes, a little flour, nuts)...and I did. 15-25% regain of your excess weight loss (ewl) is normal in years 2-3, so you will have some room for this.
If protein is upsetting your stomach, it may be the whey. Try switching to egg protein, or if cheese doesn't bother you, try eating more ricotta (28g per cup). I like to whip it with a little heavy cream into some instant pudding mix for a delicious dessert.

What percentage of what you lost was regained? 15-25% regain of what you lost is normal and no cause for alarm.
I regained 14% a few years after my DS. I chose to accept it and I can report that I have maintained effortlessly from that point.

1) I thought my boobs couldn't get any saggier. I was wrong. After nearly 14 years since my DS, I'm even "wronger"...because dayum!
2) I thought I wouldn't change after I lost my weight. I did change. My confidence went through the roof and caught the attention of others. I also became a ***** according to some. I used to say I had ADD (acquired doormat disorder), but I lost the need to please others at my own expense and started saying no a lot more. some users didn't appreciate that one bit.

Safe, sure. As long as you get your protein and take your supplements you will be fine. But unless you decrease your carbs going forward you will gain it back!
