GreenTealael 25,439 Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) 18 months post VSG ~155 lbs, BMI 27 Reflux (GERD) increased in intensity but I'm working on it. Mystery of dumping continues- c'est la vie... Gave up a few foods for a while to see if it helps both. We'll see. Not many other changes from the prior month. This looks like maintenance for me.

looly 361 Posted May 9, 2019 Reflux is not nice, but obesity can cause so many more serious conditions than that. You look fan-bloody-tastic and I bet you feel great too (reflux notwithstanding!). 😃 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am happy, healthy and confident...but damn those last 25 pounds are not wanting to leave!!!!! I tried KETO...literally perfect for 8 weeks and only lost 6 pounds...stopped doing that!

I guess I need to really buckle down for the last 25! You are likely either in maintenance or a on long plateau, some call these set points. These are HARD to break past. My suggestion is check in with your team on how to get through to the other side I was told LOTS of exercise... Not what anyone wants to hear... i know 😳 Then really buckle down, go back to clran basics etc... but if you are satified where you are (and your team is also) do it at your own reasonable pace Good Luck Edited May 16, 2019 by GreenTealael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
