I had Bariatric surgery three years ago and lost 16st. I have gained around 12lb of that back on DESPITE eating very healthily and exercising a lot. I am a very active person - swim three times a week and gym twice. The issue I seem to have is my metabolism is shot to pieces 
I guess due to rapid weight loss and at times surviving on 400cals.
Has anyone else experienced this? No matter what I do now if I eat above 900cals I gain no matter what. And I'm tired and cranky and because i am so active my body just can't cope on so few calories. I've upped the exercise a bit but I can't maintain such an intense programme due to 'life' I guess!
