About a year post-op in what I routinely call my "Incredible Hulk" phase wherein I was eating about 1100 calories a day with 150+ grams of protein (that much protein and you gain muscle by lifting your fingers...). I do NOT have that muscle tone anymore. I came down a few notches on the protein...

Two years post-op: by this time my "bounce" had begun. I was still on track with my eating/exercise so I have accepted that my bounce was inevitable. Like Pink said, "sometimes it be's like that."
