I was wondering what other people's patterns of weight loss/gain are like? Obviously everyone's different (my mantra in life), but as a wee skinny thing, I find it frighteningly easy to lose weight, but very, very hard to put it back on. For example, I'm just back from a Christmas holiday abroad, and I lost half a stone in 10 days. I know it will take several weeks to regain that, and I will have to eat solidly for most of that time to make sure I do! Is this the same for anyone else?

My weight seems to stay the same since takedown in April.
My takedown was October 18th and I lost around 20 pounds. I am currently trying to gain it back and have managed to gain about 2 pounds. I posted the same question a few weeks ago and the response was it takes time up to 1 year. I guess we have to be patient, we'll gain it back and probably more.
I took me a year to gain the weight back from all the surgeries. Then I gain extra of course! Finally lost the extra recently. I guess the best thing you can do since you have trouble keeping it on is to eat healthy but eat a lot of calories.
I don't mean so much specifically as a consequence of recent surgery - I meant it more as a general day-to-day living with your pouch. (I lost three stone in hospital, but that was eight years ago, and I'm back to my normal weight now. I just meant because of the pouch, the weight tends to drop off very quickly if, for example, I miss a meal.)
