Hi guys,

I had my gastric sleeve surgery in December 2015. I have lost 116 pounds, however I have about 30-40 more pounds to lose. The visceral fat around my belly is extremely annoying and hard to get rid of as as well. Someone suggested Nutrisystem to help shock my body and trigger weight loss. For my veteran weight loss surgery peoples, have any of you tried anything like Keto, nutrisystem, weight watchers after your surgery?

Nutrisystem might cost as much as some lypo or fat freezing procedure, I'd double check! I looked into herbal magic one time, and it worked out to be 110$/pound!!! So just weigh your options ! Good luck ! And congratulations on the weight Loss!!!!

I'm not a vet, but I would say, save your money. Review your current diet and see whether you need to omit/add something. Possible add calories for a jump start (depending how low you are). You've lost a great amount, congrats! Just remember it's not a race, enjoy your loss and the rest will follow.

All bodies react differently but Keto works for me not only physically but mentally, I don't feel lethargic like I once did. Do a little research and add yourself to several Keto Facebook Recipe Groups so that once you Break the addiction to Carbs you will have meals that you enjoy. I would take measurements and weigh and then commit to trying it for 90 days. You have nothing to lose but Weight. Good Luck

I try to think of "diet programs" as the old way of my life that did NOT help me.
Just a long time of Protein and Water and walking and keeping on.
No special diet but extra extra protein. And few carbs. Long term stuff. Not a daily diet deal
Best of luck

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
