    Default Regained weight after four years

    Hello!

    I had a gastric sleeve in 2012 and lost 100 pounds. I still had about 30 to go but instead of losing the 30, I just maintained for about a year. Now, over the last 3 years, I have gained and lost the same 20 pounds 3 times.

    Exercise is not possible at this time as I am dealing with chronic back pain that is debilitating. Steroids have contrubuted to my weight gain and I've had to take these several times in the last year or two. I have been eating junk food for months... Slider foods!

    I have not stretched my pouch at all. I can only eat about 3/4 of a cup of solid, healthy food but I can eat slider foods much easier. I am eating junk food for comfort. I try very hard not to take pain medication and find myself grazing throughout the day. I am having another back surgery next week. I feel like I have no control and I'm somewhat depressed because of the chronic pain so I'm thinking that the comfort food is a major problem. My clothes is so tight and I don't know how to restart my weight loss again.

    Is anyone dealing with weight gain at this time or in the past? Can you offer some advice?

    Thank you!!!
