However I think my program is that short because it takes six months of classes to get the surgery to begin with. You meet with the surgeon, dietitian, psychiatrist, every month and get a binder of exact instructions for every day. So you should be well prepared before surgery day then your follow up after would cover questions.. granted that’s in a perfect senario

I could make an appt with the main surgeon but it would cost me out of pocket upfront and being unemployed and him being a “specialist” at the moment that would be hard. However I posted in a few Facebook groups and they said this is normal. That stalling, gaining then losing again is just a part of it. I was also advised by someone to do a liquid diet like my pre op diet for a couple weeks to kickstart it again.

Unfortunately I no longer work there so I don’t have the insurance to have another appt with him regardless. All I get told is that the hunger returns and that’s why I conditioned myself to not eat all the time and not eat junk beforehand. And the info I get from the vsg groups I’m in say up my protein and water. 🤦🏼‍♀️

By starve daily I mean I am hungry all the time. Yes I hit all goals with no issues. I weigh daily because I’m supposed to according to my doctor. Weight fluctuations aren’t an issue. I have never gained anything this entire process so that’s why I’m concerned. I’m also supposed to reach my goal weight before December according to him. I no longer meet with a dietitian or the doctor. Our program stops following us unless there’s an issue after 3 months. So they said follow my binder and hit protein and water goals. I can tolerate food and drink more than what you had listed. I stop myself from overeating because of this.

I am 4 months out and I starve daily. Ive tried upping protein and every other trick everyone has given but no change. Up until today I’ve steadily lost (from 232-173) but for a month I’ve been the same weight and today I find I’ve gained two pounds! Wtf. VSG on 6/8/20.
