After weight loss, you have a tiny stomach that is satisfied with a tiny amount of food. But that baby stomach grows up and becomes an adult. So tiny amounts of food no longer are satisfying. Getting back on track often means to try to eat like you did when your sleeve was new.
To me, this is like asking your adult son to be content with a bottle of baby formula. My plan has to include foods that satisfy my hunger and that I enjoy eating.
The secret now is to eat like your sleeve is an adult. My rule for controlling my weight is to allow 10 calories a day for each pound I weight. So to maintain 120 pounds, I need 1200 calories a day.
To maintain 150 pounds takes 1500 calories a day. 300 calories is not that much extra food. But it makes a big difference on the scale and how your clothes fit.
Find a way to track what you are eating and you will soon realize what is causing the weight gain. My Fitness Pal is free. Weigh****chers is expensive. Both have helped me a lot.

I also am having difficulty with weight regain. cant seem to get back on track & lose a single pound. I probably would benefit from psychotherapy with someone who specializes in eating disorders. I get back on track a few days then something happens to stress me & start eating what i dont need. came back here for support!!!

Wow, so frustrating! But it will happen. Hang in there.
My surgery was supposed to be Aug. 30. Postponed due to covid and hospital not doing elective surgeries. Just found out today and I was about to start preop diet. So disappointed and discouraged.
Congratulations an your anniversary! I, too, had mine 13 years ago. I'm sorry to hear about all of your complications, but I hope that things are smoother now!
This is the guy in your area for the work you want done. He has a ton of experience working with WLS patients and does beautiful work.
If you want facial work, there is someone who is better, IMO. He does body work, too, but I can't vouch for it. However, given what I know about him and his value for aesthetic, I would absolutely consider him. I would use no one else for facial work than Dr. Eberlin. His attention to detail and facial structure is unparalleled. I would bet he is the same when it comes to body work.
