Is it possible to get back to stock after using s-off and unlocking the bootloader?

You'd still be stock except for the fact that your S-OFF and the bootloader is unlocked. It'll do a system wipe when you unlock the bootloader, but it'll still be the stock Sense 5 Verizon ROM on there.

Is that what you mean?

I'm assuming OP means can you go back to complete stock. S-on, locked boot loader.

If so, I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

The simple answer is yes. The complicated part depends on where you're at when you decide to go back.

Assuming you made a nandroid, couldn't you restore stock backup, relock the bootloader and S-on via fastboot?

Sounds too simple.
After I got s-off the first thing I did was get twrp and made a backup of my stock rom so that's good. I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to relock the boot loader but would be lost on how to s-on via fastboot
