Takoda 23 Posted April 15, 2021 Hey guys! I had vsg about 9 months ago (June 2, 2020) and I am so happy I did it!! HW 287, SW 261, and CW 158. My goal weight is 150 (so close!!), but I seem to be hitting a stall. I can’t seem to go below 154😩. Any advice? I’m so happy with the results that I just want to do everything I can to stay like this and NEVER go back to that weight! Does anyone else feel nervous about regain so early post op? Any advice from those several years out who have advice as to long-term maintenance? Any advice would be appreciated 😊 2 GreenTealael and Tomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we're not the only people it happens to. I distinctly remember sitting at Weight Watchers meetings years ago (way before surgery) rolling my eyes at these normal weight or slightly overweight women bitching and screaming about how hard it was to lose 10 lbs. Now I totally get it!!! 6 NneKK, GreenTealael, Greenephoenician68 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spatty 16 Posted December 14, 2021 I'm having the same problem. I can't seem to lose the last 10. I just joined the gym hoping that will help and I'm thinking of going back on the Protein Shakes to see if that will help. Has anyone gone back to the 2 week pre-surgery diet to help lose some weight and keep it off for the last few pounds?? Any advice will help. TIA.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ms.sss 15,724 Posted December 14, 2021 Im not “several” years into maintenance yet (i’ve been holding steady at my current weight for about 2.5 years only), but the 2 main things I credit to this is my daily food tracking and weighing. Keeping track and making adjustments (if needed) is key for ME. Its not for everyone, but i know in my heart of hearts that if it wasn’t for this i’d be packing the pounds back on for sure. 2 OutdoorsGirl and Tomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShoppGirl 5,023 Posted December 14, 2021 I am working on my last ten as well and it is really tough. Can’t offer much advice. Just say I feel ya and that I was already worried about regain at my first post op appointment. I think it’s because I have lost weight before. More than once and I always put it back on. I have everything crossed that this is different for us. 1 OutdoorsGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
