I would look at the food selections and quantities. Re-evaluate your exercise program. This is only a tool, if wls patients don't keep an eye on the things mentioned we will end up right back where we started. Good luck.

the South Beach program helps me. Also review the "pouch rules for dummies" article periodically. Good info on how to use our tool. It does get hard to maintain. I really have to be careful what I eat. If I eliminate all white flour or white sugar products it's MUCH easier.

I am just over 3 years out and I now find that if I don't pretty much stick to high protein, low carb diet that I can gain weight quickly. We worked too hard to get this weight off to allow ourselfs to regain it. Get yourself on a high protein diet asap honey!! Best of luck to you!!

Barbara thompson offers advice and a mentoring group for people years out who are regaining weight. She is very good. She underwent the surgery herself years ago, and now works with hospitals on obesity sensitivity and does public speaking. www.wlscenter.com

Forgot to say that my surgeon told me to follow the Atkins diet for the rest of my life.
