I am a little over a year out and gained about 10 pounds back. I have since lost 4 of that but what I found is that if I go back to the original foods and smaller portions my stomach seemed to tighten back up really quickly. Within 3 days of eating smaller portions of Soup and Protein shakes and staying away from any breads, I was feeling full very quickly again. This made me stronger to continue to get back on track.

My skin is pretty good. Of course it is not perfect but I didn't expect it would be. My age also plays into this I am sure. But Let's just say I look better in clothes.

I am a little over a year out and have gained about 7 pounds over the summer months. I have lost the focus I had at the beginning. You have to use your tools and fight old habits every day. September is a good time to re focus and get it back. Using Forums, websites, facebook has worked well for me to stay thinking about what I need to do and to stay focused. Weight loss is a battle before, during and after surgery but I feel great and I have lost 70 pounds so it is worth the battle.
