13 months post op with 15-18 pounds left

[TheNewSusie 471]

So... Long time no post. Hope everyone is great! I would love opinions. I started out at 250 CW: 165-168 (I fluctuate) of course I know that it gets harder with the less you have to lose, I want to know what u all did or if u changed things to get those last few pounds off. I've had liquid days and I really watch my carbs ( 20-40 net daily) I get in my fluids, I run around in a restaurant 6 days a week and try to workout 3-5 days a week. 8-12 cups of Water a day is my usual intake. Thanks!

Some of us "Vets" are using the 5:2 plan to lose the last few pounds, and then to maintaine. Look in the vets forum for more info. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/90290-52-folks/

as you can see in my states, I lost 83 pounds, then began to regain.... 22 pounds. I was close to my goal, but I never got there. I then started trying some different eating strategies, and found other vets that were having the same problems as I was, regain, not achieving goal, and difficulty losing regain. We talked about this and other problems that come with some age with the sleeve. A member of our group heard about the 5:2, and we all tried it to see how it worked. I have lost 11pounds since June 11th. I went on vacation twice, gained a little and it came right off when I went back to plan. I am currently 6 pounds from my post WLS low, and am 12 pounds from goal. I believe I can get there this time... and have a plan for maintenance I think I can live with.

Take a look at the video that started this whole movement and see what you think. We do not recomment it to people who are less than a year out from surgery, but you seem like you are in the same place others of us on here were at as well.
