share: I would like to hear from other women who have had gastric by-pass surgery and their successes or failures.
My weightloss surgery was almost 4 years ago. Initial weightloss was 94lbs. I have regained 16lbs. and would like help/support in getting back on track to lose the regained weight and continue losing to my goal.

Hi Karen,
Thank you for your question and congratulations on your weight loss. One of the things you will have to maintain is a healthy lifestyle or you may gain the weight back. I found some websites for you that may be able to help with maintaining a healthy diet from Gicare.com

Are you maintaining an exercise program? This is also very important. There is a large loss of weight in the beginning of the process but you must continue your progress which will need a little help on your end.
Remember that since you are four years post-surgery, you will have to keep a maintenance program so that you will not return to your previous weight. Here is a story that was posted from a Registered Nurse that explained how she started to gain weight back after her surgery. http://obesitysurgery-info.com/rn-speaks-about-rny.htm.
Tell us more. What are you eating and how much? Are you exercising or what is your physical activity level?
