PS. I posted before reading everyone's response...I find it kind of funny (and comforting in a way) that everyone eats about the same amount--two or three rolls depending on size. Here is one tip ive learned over the years though...and most of you probably know this..but in case you dont:
You can tell them to cut the rolls smaller for you..I do it all the time (even before the surgery..because honestly when they make those huge rolls, its just obnoxious..NO ONE's mouth is that big and you cant take a bite of a roll...it just falls apart..why do they freaking do that???--i digress). So if it usually comes in 6 rolls--I tell them to cut to 8 or smaller...they ALWAYS say ok and act as though they get asked that all of the time (which im sure they do..it cant just be me)
okay thats my public service announcement for the day.

I am 13 months out from my VSG almost to the day. I have lost OVER 150lbs. I weighed 319 and now I am at about 165. Your doctor will tell you that because statistically that is true. Problem is many people have this surgery and do not change their life style that much. My recomendation is that at about 4 or 5 months if you really want to lose you need to start increasing your physical activity. I would not worry about stopping losing weight...I was panicked about that all year but i am STILL losing weight (another issue for another thread). The point is, dont worry...usually people lose for about a year. I would be shocked if you did not lose way more than what your doc said. ...I did.
Good luck!
