Long term regain?

I am pre-op and the nutritionist my surgeon sent me to told me that studies are showing that after 18 months post ops will begin to regain the weight if they do not exercise at least 60 minutes per day. I have not heard this from anyone else and it really threw me for a loop. It seems counterintuitive since your input is still fairly restricted. Has anyone experienced this? I think she may have been trying to talk me out of this because my BMI is just under 40 and other than GERD I am very healthy. She kept talking about someone who had lost 90 pounds on a regular diet and I told her that I have done that several times in the past but have always regained it. In any case, after talking to her, I can't help feeling somewhat discouraged. Is this another temporary fix? If so, I might as well not put myself through this. I'd really appreciate your feed back!
