Thank you so much for this post and the thread. I, too, am struggling with regaining weight. I had my surgery about 9 years ago and although I knew what I did was a good thing, regaining weight has been terribly disheartining. I went into surgery at 455 lbs and post-surgery, I was as low as 233. My last doctor's visit 2 months ago, I was back to 303. Your stories and suggestions in this thread are encouraging. Thank you all so much for sharing.
