Hello! I am looking to connect with WLS patients who have maintained and then gained. Looking to share my journey and connect with others on the same path.

Lost 150 lbs after surgery. 7 years out. Hunger back at about year 5. Gained almost 40 lbs. so sad I could cry. Instead, back in the saddle. Walking 2-1/2 miles to start. Will work back up to 5. Counting everything I put in my mouth. Reaching my protein goal which is a little over 100g. Drinking 90 oz of water everyday.4

Can you provide your stats please ie TDEE, height, weight, daily calorie goal, etc?
The daily routine… sounds really miserable unless 5 miles a day is a passion, and I think there’s more options than an anguishing up-hill battle for the rest of your life. There’s something else going on and I think it’s smart to sort that out before 40 lbs turns into more.0 -
I’m going to commit to posting my strength training workouts to keep myself motivated. I have 12 lbs to lose and I’m trying to get back into my 3 day/week strength training routine for ski conditioning. I also walk and do cardio 2x/week. I originally lost 35 lbs 8 years ago and now I yo-yo an additional 10-12 lbs. I’m back at it now! 5’6 162 lbs.1

I walk 5-7 miles a day and it's not an anguishing up hill battle.
They didn't ask for input, they are replying to the original post. Why are you quizzing them?
I think it's easy to gain weight; all it takes is not keeping track of what goes in my mouth, slacking on exercise, allowing sweets back in on a too-regular basis, and pushing the body weight scale back under the bed.
That's not something that only happens to WLS patients, it's a job for all of us. 7
