    Hi, i'm new to the group and as of last month i'm 10 years out from having my bypass. I'm working on losing the regain i've had. I'm down 30 pounds since Sept. and making changes to some bad habits I had prior to surgery that crept back in and new ones that developed.

    Just curious about what things/situations caused everyone's regain? Since everyone is different.

    Hi there, I had surgery 11 years ago this May, I know my weight regain was STRESS, I had lost 110 but have gained 50 of those back. I went from 330 to 222 and know I'm 262. I got married, divorced and lost 2 loved ones all in the last 5 years. My problem was pleasing everyone but me. I use to do water aerobics 2-3 days a week and loved it but my fiance asked me to stop losing weight and I knew it was wrong but I did it and I just went downhill from that. But it's a new year and new me so I'm taking baby steps starting today on my goal to lose 80 pounds. :)

    I had gastric back in 2004. Lost about 200lbs. 420 to below 220. Reached my heighest regain about 2 weeks ago at 310. It was a wakeup call to say the least. The other day I was 296...so I'm on the right track. Just have to continue pushing exercise more and more! Im going to the gym averaging about 3 days a week..so I need to up my cardio. Walking,hiking, etc.
    Feel free to friend me!! Good luck to you!

    I'd love to be more active in this group. I had RNY in 2006. My highest weight was 357 and I got to 171 after surgery. Like everyone says, life happened. My husband went into kidney failure and had to be put on dialysis. I let my focus slip and I gained. All the way back up to 307. I have since been logging my food and going back to eating right and lost a little over 20 of that. I've also started exercising again. Feel free to add me - anyone. We can do this again! Never give up!
