Either we are failing or so active we don't have time

Personally, I am failing big time.  I'm gaining the weight back and I am so ashamed.  I swore I would do everything to keep off the weight.  Then three little boys came along and I stay home with them and do nothing all day but take care of them.  I want to get a revision but they won't because I am not 100 pounds over. 

I agree with you. I am 7.5 years out and I have been gaining as well. I just entered menopause at the time of my surgery..grrr.  I have watched calories and finally came to the conclusion that the only way I can lose any weight is to eat less than 1100 calories a day, which is very difficult. Do you think our bodies got used to such a small number of calories that anything over that turned into weight gain??
