10 yrs post op... anyone else
I'm sure there are others out there that have struggled with regain and got themselves back on track. I'd love to hear how you got yourself back on track.

It's one day at a time
. You could do the 5 day pouch test for a complete new start, or you could track your food and see how your doing with your protein. Maybe a few tweaks is all you will need to get back to where you want to be.You can do it because you took the first step and came back.
10/18/07 RNY ( hw 305 sw 290 lw 189ish) St Joe's 08/14/14 RNY reversal to sleeve. I survived 3 leaks,4 operations and a feeding tube.
I'm nearly 10yrs post op (Oct 2002) as well and I've had a 35lb regain that I'm determined to erase.
I've been back on this site for about a week and I'm feeling motivated and supported.
I've been using an app to track all food/beverage intake as well as water, excercise, and weight data. It really helps to see the real numbers, which makes it a lot harder to rationalize 'just a few' chips.
You can do it!
Surgery weight: 277lbs Goal/maintenance weight: 135lbs
I think I will for sure watch the posts here too for motivation and support!
Thanks!

I'm inspired by the fact that you've only gained that much in 10 years and after a pregnancy..just amazes me that it has worked so well..
The several people that I was watching before I had surgery have since failed themselves and gained back more than 100 pounds..I was pretty much the only one I knew that stayed on course and didn't fall back into old old habits..and if I can be as successful as you and only gain 50 pounds??? wow..
Before Surgery: 214
Highest Weight: 240
Now: 125.6
Goal: 130
I have to say that I am also thrilled to only have a 50lb regain from my lowest weight of 150. I also have watched folks over the years gain a large majority of weight back. I'm glad that found my way back to OH because I really do find the support that I'm missing at times. I've been doing pretty good so far this week. I feel great!! I hope everyone else is making it a great week too!
