You must permanently change your lifestyle if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You can do it!
Good luck to you. I think we need to think of ourselves as we make this journey. I told myself I would take the time to exercise and not feel guilty. A caregivers life has many challenges and thinking of oneself brings feelings of guilt. Glad you are back on track and take the time for yourself, You earned it. Good Luck!
With determination, you can do it! You've done it once before after all! :D

I regained and lost often in the last three years. My revision was a medical necessity and not related to my regain but to make sure I still had a tool once the band was removed. So I know how hard it is to lose the weight when you fall off the wagon. The benefit of WLS is the learned behaviors, the support system, and the mental idea that I did it before I can do it again.
I hope that helps and it was always a crisis that led me to make bad food choices as well. It is my goal forever to break that cycle this round.
