I am still very happy I had the surgery, although I had a 20 lb. weight gain in a very short period of time last fall and Xmas. I was very sad and down, but now I kicked myself in the butt and got moving. First by walking more, then by eating less sugar and processed food, and now I work out with a personal trainer. I am feeling so much better and have lost 5 lbs over a 4 week period. I am on the right path and will continue exercise as part of my life. Although the 5 lbs seems small, it is a good 5 lbs with definite muscle building. I hope to continue with 5 lbs a month and I'm comfortable with this progress. I will give some regular updates. I am eating a more Paleo style type of diet, to keep my carbs down and have had no hunger pangs or cravings, like I had before. Yes, you can gain weight after a by pass because although you don't eat much at one sitting, you can eat more frequently, which was my downfall. I now cleaned out my pantry from all my sugar treats and processed food and I have upped my vegetable intake. I am excited that I am learning how to run on the treadmill, and I am doing sit-ups which I never could do before. My trainer pushes me and I have stopped whining and have embraced his motivation .
