I cant tell you how GLAD I am to hear this..... I am determined NOT to gain any weight back... and from this POST... it seems there is FEEDBACK, that it IS POSSIBLE!!! Thank you

I'm 29 months out and still losing. My plan is to stop wherever my body stops. I don't intend to obsess and beat m'self up over whatever pounds I may think I need to lose. Life's too short, and the stress from obsessing can't be healthy -- and I *can* obsess over things.  I'm already at a normal BMI, so any more loss is just icing on the cake. (And it helps being tall.

Tanya,
I am almost 4 1/2 years post op. While I have to work at it a bit more now, I still stay within 5 - 8 lbs of my lowest weight. I should mention that my lowest weight was still about 7 lbs over my personal goal, but my body just does not want to give up those last few pounds. My surgeon and my primary care doc are happy with where I am at. I am 125-130 lbs below my highest weight, depending on the day. I am trying to maintain at this point.

I'm just over 4 years out and flux no more than maybe 7 lbs. either side of goal. Other then getting my protein and supplements in first, I've never had to worry about dieting including carbs. It's why had the DS. It's been a sheer joy. I liberally revel in my french cooking and that includes lots of fats. I never much concern myself with diet anymore other than I seem to crave a wider  variety of foods. Labs, which I insist on getting quarterly...  more often than I need, have been stellar. Rock

I'm three and a half years out and have never had a problem with gaining. I changed my life style. I'm very active, now. I don't have much of an appetite, but I try to eat healthy and I stay away from 'junk' food. I've been so motivated all along, and I am just not going to go back to old habits. I walk, run, ride a bike, swim, play tennis...it's so much fun to be able to do these things, now. I'm so grateful. You are doing so well! Congratulations! You will continue to do just fine!

Thank you!!
