Hi, I am kinda like in the same boat with you, I lost most of my weight went from 350 to 160 then started gaining here and there, now I am 8yrs out my weight is 192, well it was until I got the 6 week body makeover and I started that on the 16th of Jan and I am now at 183 my goal is to get back to 160 if not lower,my doctor wanted to do a revision, but if I can jump start the losing then I am not going to have the surgery. So you might want to check into the 6wbmo and see if that might help, you get a lot of protein and it works for people that have had gastric bypass. Or you can go back and do the post-op diet they gave you when you got home. To me the other is better. Good luck

HEY, I WAS READING YOUR FORUM AND I WANTED TO TRY TO HELP YOU. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS YOU. I WAS AT A 39 BMI TO START SO I WAS TOLD NOT TO LOSE ANY WEIGHT OR THE INSURANCE WOULDNT COVER ME. THEN AS MY 6 MONTHS WENT BY (DURING THE HOLIDAYS) I GAINED A FEW POUNDS, AND I WENT IN FOR MY LAST VISIT THINKING I WAS FINE CAUSE I WAS TOLD NOT TO LOSE, AND I ALMOST GOT DENIED FROM THE HOSPITALS CERTIFICATION BECASUE I HAD GAINED. I WAS SO SCARED. I DRIVE AN HOUR AND HALF ONE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL, EVERY MONTH, SO THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO DO THE WHOLE 6 MONTHS OVER AGAIN. WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED EVERYONE, THE DOCTOR THAT TOLD ME NOT TO LOSE THE WEIGHT, THE HOSPITAL PRE-CERT UNIT, MY INSURANCE ETC. WHEN I GOT THAT CALL BACK FROM THE DOCTOR SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT NO I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO LOSE WEIGHT BECASUE OF MY BMI, OR THE INSURANCE WOULD NOT COVER IT. BUT THAT SHE COULDNT ACTUALLY CHART THAT IN MY CHART BECAUSE SHE JUST COULDNT. (YOU KNOW PROCEDURE OR WHATEVER) THEN SHE TALKED TO THE PRECERT DIVISION AND GOT ME AN OK. SINCE, MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS APPROVED ME AND MY MOTHER IS FLYING IN FROM LAS VEGAS IN A FEW WEEKS AND I AM HAVING MY SURGERY ON VALENTINES DAY.  I HOPE THIS HAS HELPFUL TO YOU. I WOULD SUGGEST CALLINGYOUR HOSPITALS PRECERTIFICATION UNIT, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO KNOW IT ALL. THEY WORK WITH INSURANCE COMPNAIES EVERY SINGLE DAY. =)

So here I am 5 years post op and feeling fat. I haven't gained my weight back but I haven't lost all that I want. I started at 340 and am at 200 but really need to lose another 40 or 50 to not be considered obese. I can't seem to jump start this. Anyone have any ideas?
