Do you have a question?
What you are experiencing is fairly common. Your surgeon likey wants to
make sure your esophagus will heal from any potential damage done from the
reflux, and is proceeding with caution. (Which, if you're a 5-year
veteran, you probably know that already).
I know it's frustrating, but you lost it once, and you can lose it again
once you get restriction. Now is the time to put into action all that you
have learned about nutrition, portions self-control and exercise over that
5 years. Damage control! :)

I can only imagine what you are going through right now. I am still in the
aproval stage so i still weigh.... a lot.... :( and im still very
unhealthy. Like the first poster person said, you did do it before you can
do it again, just keep using what you learnt and you'll do great.. You did
great to begin with.. :)
Sometimes i have to think things happen for a reason, maybe you needed to
see that you are a great person and that you can do this again, that your
tummy just needed a rest and then it will be back to business shortly. you
just never know, but at least know there are people here who have been
there and are there for you now... take care and please know your in my
prayers. and i am encouraged by you
