Hi I'm Jackie. I had WLS(VSG) 5 years ago. At 4yrs out I starting gaining . My mistake was not doing my exercise like I was, grazing and drinking wine. I know darn well are all things that were drilled into my head not to do. Well life happens, and here I'm am and 15 lbs are back. I'm less than 5 feet which is very noticeable. I'm going back to basics logging my food and exercising.

You can do this! I'm 4 years out and had gained 30lbs. Back in April I started tightening up and logging and weighing my food again. I'm now 9lbs away from my lowest weight8

I see these posts were several months ago. How is everyone doing now? Did you lose your gains? I am starting to gain a few and getting concerned.2

@Evey3 - I haven't lost the 6.5lbs that I had gained back in June and now I'm up a total of 10lbs, but it's because i continued the wine, and I am still not exercising consistently. I again, just started back on track and truly tossed the wine (even the social weekend glass). Starting the gym today after work.1

I am not 5 yrs out but I was sleeved on Dec 3rd 2013 so 3+ years. I had maintained a around a 80 lb loss I would fluctuate, gain some and then kick up my eating habits, water consumption and exercising. This last fall I started losing again for some reason hadn't really changed anything. I dropped another 12 lbs and have stayed there. I have been exercising alot more than in previous years so that is the only thing I can figure out. The good news is I had always wanted to get under 200 lbs whiich I hadn't been since high school and I now am staying under that. I appreciate everyones posts it helps me and others stay motivated.5
