I am two and 1/2 years after surgery and my stomach can hold quite a bit. I am wondering how much it should hold at this point. I am so worried I have stretched it and my weight is slowly creeping up in the last few months.

Can someone help with my weight gain??? Please!! I had my sleeve surgery two and half years ago and for about two years I stayed the same weight...125 lbs. However about two months ago...my weight went up to 137 lbs and my frame is filling out more with muscle and not so boney. But I am concerned as I have gained 12 lbs. in only two months! I have been exercising the same as I always have although honestly I have been snacking a bit but nothing out of control. My calorie intake is roughly the same. I don't understand what is happening with my body and my clothes don't fit well. What can I do?

Good point! Maybe not enough of both. Would this cause weight gain if not?

Thanks everyone....great suggestions. I have a feeling I am eating way more than I realize and your suggestions are very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to help me all of you!!

Thanks. This helps a lot. I appreciate the share.

Unfortunately I no longer have the same insurance so I cannot see my surgeon. I have to start all over with my primary doctor. A long process but I think I should definitely do it. Thanks for the advice!

The upper GI is definitely a good idea as well. Can they tell the size of your pouch from that?

Thanks so much for the advice. It very well may be the grazing. I am trying my hardest to stop. The grazing could very well relax and enlarge the stomach size, right?

I can eat about 6 to 8 oz. of protein in a sitting and don't feel satisfied sometimes. I have also been snacking in between meals which might be the reason for the weight gain. Sometimes at lunch I have a protein drink which is 11 oz and I can drink it all.
