I had my wls 2004 and lost all I needed to lose, but I have gained 7-10lbs it always varys. I started trying to loss that weight but i just can't , my last try was the atkins but no go, is it possible that u just lose so much and that is where ur body wants to stay?

Depending on your build and your muscle mass...you could be where you're going to stay. I got down as low as I could and then started gaining muscle weight. it's hard to judge because I've never been slender or even regular size..You know what I mean?

You might just be where your body preferrs to be.
Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

Before Surgery: 214
Highest Weight: 240
Now: 125.6
Goal: 130

I went on 'vacation' from Nov to about Feb this year.. basically not exercising like I should and eating like I shouldnt... I gained 5lbs and it has been VERY hard to try and get them to budge... I started eating better and working out more without any success. 4 weeks ago I started with a personal trainer and back to good ole food logging and nothing so far, still going to stick with it. Not sure if it was the 'bounce back' they talk about... or just my body kind of adjusting... but if its only 5lbs Ill take it :-)

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!

Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)

yes my dr. said that 7lbs in 5 year is real good and that i should be happy with that. someone told me if u don't gain back the weight in 5 years that u probably won't gain that much

P.S.  My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
