Weight gain post op

Has anyone gained weight post op duodenal switch? I hear it's near impossible and you have to try very hard to gain weight after surgery.

you can eat around any surgery, including DS, but yes - it's harder with the DS than it is the VSG and RNY (from what I understand...)

I totally understand this I mean the way I eat is abysmal but I'm not gaining I'm maintaining. If I tried harder I'm sure I could lose a little bit more weight but I think I'm about done. Right now I am at 195 however the doctor said take off 25 lb for skin and his goal wait for me is 145. So if you look at it that way. I only have about 15 or 20 pounds to lose.
