OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted August 31, 2017 @CrissyBat No. Are your stats accurate/current? what was the most you lost? When did you stop losing? When did you start gaining? Did you ever hit goal? What do you eat? Do you weigh your food? Do you track your food? 1 Missy161 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrissyBat 60 Posted August 31, 2017 245 starting, 186 was my lowest, never hit goal weight of 175, now I'm 203. My weight came in platues starting about Dec 2016. I was weighing everything and wasn't losing and then realized its b/c the meds I'm on for back spasms. My Dr. Doesn't believe its my meds. And when i try to get off of them on my own, the pain returns. So I'm sort of lost and don't weigh b/c I don't think it will make a difference.

Missy161 395 Posted August 31, 2017 Track track track!!!I read an article bout how to maintain weight loss after vsg on bariatric life magazine. Said keep up 64 oz fluids, keep liquid and food separate, track food, low carb. Basically make sure you keep up the protocol we get at the beginning. I hope this helps.Mich WHw 223, SW 217 CW 188 GW 135 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app Weighing and tracking your food is really key! You can get so many extra calories just eye balling it. Do the meds make you constipated? Track you food and eating nothing but dense Protein for a week and see if you drop some weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarinaGirl 609 Posted August 31, 2017 Have you ever tried a prescription Lidocaine patch for your back spasms? I have and it works well for me and I suffer zero complications, unlike what happens with narcotic or OTC pain medicine. I wear the patch 12 hours on then 12 hours off.

They didn't work too well for me. It was so bad, that I checked the box they came in to make sure they weren't expired.
