  3. I've been using My a fitness pal to track my intake but to honest not religiously at all. I hit a plateau almost 12 months ago and I just loose and gain the same 6 lbs. I've gained a total of 15 back from my lowest post- op weight. I don't know what to do. I set my calorie goal at 1300 on my fitness pal but I never reach that.

  5. I've been actually looking for a nutritionist / dietician that specializes in post VSG. Since our eating is different. I spoke with one at my job and they were basically saying I should eat the "pyramid" and not be so restrictive. I just feel like they didn't quite get it. They were saying since I workout I also should be eating 60-80 grams of carbs per day ? NOT GONNA HAPPEN. But I'm gonna keep searching I know there's one around that can lead me in the right direction. Because feeling like my sleeve is broke just breaks my heart. Thanks for posting ur response; I needed to hear that.

  7. I am almost 3 years out; post VSG and I am working out most days of the week. I eat pretty clean. I can't loose anymore weight; I've lost 95 lbs and now I'm up 15 lbs. it saddens me to see the scale going in the wrong direction. Especially since I am working so hard. I've even gotten so desperate that I've tried to take Phentermine but it actually makes me feel hungrier ? I keep on trying and nothing is working. I meal prep my lunches most of the time. I do not wanna gain weight but I feel like it's just happening. Slowly but surely. I can gain weight more daily since having the surgery, I feel like I am developing a bad relationship with food because I'm so confused on what I should be eating. I have cut out so much from my typical diet i.e.; beef, pork, bread, Pasta, rice (unless I go for ? sushi), no juice or soda, I typically use Splenda in your coffee, I will sometimes have a sweet treat. My sweet tooth is ridiculous and I have to fight it often. Anyone have any tips I can try. Recently heard of the 5:2 method and will be starting that. I've tried the 5 day pouch test, kerogenic diet etc.... I gotta loose 30 lbs now. I wanna see myself get there!
