I had a gastric sleeve in November 2014. I lost 96 lbs in 6 months. I went back to school and found myself slowly eating too much again. I never reached my goal weight and have actually gained 14 lbs in the last 6 months. I eat healthy foods and exercise 5 days a week and still can't seem to lose again. Have I just stretched my stomach out too much for my sleeve to be the weight-loss tool it was supposed to be? After 9 months of eating larger meals than I should have, is it too late to naturally reduce my stomach size by eating smaller meals? I never had a nutritionist or any real direction from my surgeon, so I have always felt unsure of how I'm doing with eating. Clearly not very well. Any info is appreciated.

I really appreciate all of the feedback. I will start tracking my food intake with my fitness pal and see if I can provide more details as far as what I am consuming. I was given a 6 week diet guide for post-op eating, but I have no real idea of what I should be consuming now as far as amount of Protein vs fat vs carb. I will find time to get in with a nutritionist, but if you have any guidelines that would be great. Also, are carbs from vegetables included in the total carb count? Silly question, I'm sure, but I've always wondered. Thanks for your insight and encouragement. I feel hopeful I can regain control and get back on track! First time posting here and really glad I did.
