I realize that this post is over a year old, but now that I am 23 months out of surgery I had to find some help. I lost 85 lbs the first 8 months, maintained pretty effortlessly for a year, and in the last 2-3 months have packed on 15 lbs...and I am SCARED!!!!!! I think I have to refocus...I have been snacking on bad stuff, not exercising, and I DO get hungry now (didn't really the first year). Thank you all for the advice. I am coming back on here daily now and hoping to refocus on how to be diligent and not take my sleeve and weight loss for granted. I had to "confess" here because I don't want to kid myself any more. I felt somewhat invincible to weight gain, but I know I was just fooling myself.
