Has it been easy keeping the weight off?

I'd also like to know. I keep hearing that EVERY rny or vsg patient gains it back after years. That can't be true that ALL patients do!

Yeah if they all do why would we need the surgery? The last thing I need is to be thin then fat again

I wouldn't say it's easy because you have still have to be conscious of my what you put in your mouth. If you graze all day you can consume more calories than you need. Also, I have to watch what liquids I drink. Some liquids consist of more calories. I have the tool of the RNY but it's still up to me to use it correctly.

I know several people who had the surgery around the same time as myself and have kept off most of their initial weight loss. Some have been more successful than others. After 10 years, many successful weight loss stories don't come back to the forum boards. You usually have had the people who weren't successful and are unhappy with themselves. My sister is having the surgery on 2/25 and I am her biggest cheerleader. She told me how some people are discouraged by people talking about their weight gain on this forum. I can honestly say it's one of the biggest and best decisions I have made in life.

As long as you do what your supposed to do you won't gain it back. It's science. But you will find there are ways to eat and drink things you should stay away from. Honestly, there is no way to gain back the weight unless you do not follow through.

It's not "easy" but as long as you eat responsibly and follow your doctor's advice you cannot gain the weight back.

Hi There 10years ago SO TRUE I had my surgery 5years ago I agree this forum it is Amazing !!!

I have had regain with my weight 13kgs 28lbs to be exact if I was to list all the stressful events I simply buckled I just went back to what I always did under stress I picked up food obviously not High Volume but Grazing & drinking A Soy Latte a day didn't help & sometimes 2 a day. I have never drunk alcohol so that was never a problem.

I picked up the coffee habit to get thru the work day & having to care for my only son who is now doing OK living with CML Leukemia He's 22 & I am amazed by his attitude.

He is a total inspiration Never complains when he's in pain

So here I am learning how to take care of me as i seem to have a life filled with drama & stress

So it's all back to follow the rules

I would love some support

All I can say to the Newbie's

Having surgery is the Best choice I made & getting back on track has taken more effort than I expected

But I'm not a quitter would love support !
