I'm another who had my surgery June 2005 -- June 13, to be exact -- who is frustrated with her progress.  Or should I say LACK of progress!!  I did so well at first.  Weight the day of surgery was 350.  Got down to 220.  Have gained back about 40.  Can't get it to budge.  When I was losing consistently, I was able to get to support groups, was able to get out to exercise, and was faithful to my eating plan.  Now due to my work schedule, it's impossible to get to a support group meeting.  I haven't had a car for 6 months, so can't get to the gym.  And I've fallen squarely back in to old eating habits.  I'm soooooooooooo frustrated with myself I can't stand it!!!  Any ideas and any support -- including solid kicks in the pants -- are welcome!!!

When you say in your post that you have fallen back in to old eating habits, what specifically do you mean? I only ask b/c if you can eat a lot more than you used to, you might have stretched the pouch, so you will regain some weight over time b/c you can eat more. I am 3+ yrs out of surgery and I regained 13 lbs from birth control and I knew it was b/c of it and not stretching my pouch b/c I still only eat small portions as I always did. I have a physical job so that is my exercise. My advice is to contact your dr. or even your surgeon to see if they can test you to see if it is indeed stretched, which can lead to a revision surgery.
