I think you need to relax into it. Also if possible separate out your aspiration to lose more from your fear of regaining what you have lost (and kept off). What you have done is to lose 82lbs of fat and to keep it off for 2 years. Absolutely amazing - you used the tool surgery gave you so well. There was a bottoming out before that, which is really common. Sounds like the mid 150s might be the new set point you got from surgery. If you keep trying to push diet and exercise to get below that again you might find it difficult/impossible to maintain, and you could even mess with that new set point. I know we are human and will always aspire to more/better/faster, but could you live with being 155 if you measured that against the loss of the pressure/guilt to lose those 'last 18lbs'?
With regard to regaining everything you have lost, I suspect there's a little devil whispering that to all of us. Shove a big wedge of cucumber in his mouth and shut him right up. You are the BOSS of weight loss.

Sounds a lot like me. I lost 60 after the surgery. Never got down to my goal, just 10 pounds away. They I started to eat crap, I quickly put on 30.
Last February my friend talked me into doing the Fast Metabolism Diet by Haily Pomroy, your gonna have to Google it. You eat really clean it’s just what you eat in 3 different phases. We followed it for a couple months & then just continued to eat clean.
In August I hit my goal weight!! I have been hanging out 130-135 since then. Still try to eat clean.
We are going on a cruise in September & I am super nervous about that!

I’m reading many of these posts today. This was a major issue for me the first two months after my surgery.
It’s important to realize everyone is different. I only lost 10 pounds my first month after surgery!
I’m 4 months out now. I’ve lost 60 pounds.

I have been losing very slowly. My highest weight was 237, I was 226 on the day of surgery. I’m 11 weeks out and have only lost 37 pounds. I’ve lost 48 pounds of you include the weight I lost during the liquid diet before surgery. It’s says somewhere online that you will lose 5-15 pounds/week, but that isn’t always that case. Hang in there.

I’m 4 weeks out and in the last 6 weeks (including my 2 weeks of liquids) I have lost 30 pounds

I’m 5.5 weeks post op and I’ve only lost 23 pounds

I was 237 the day before my liquid diet, 226 on surgery day (3/26/19) and I’m 202 today. I had the bypass. 24 pounds lost in 6 weeks and 2 days. So, I guess I am losing a half a pound each day.

I’ve only lost 24 pounds. My surgery was the 26th

GENEPRO powdered, unflavored Protein is wonderful for anyone who struggles with getting their protein requirement. I put it in my morning coffee and that gives me 30 grams right off the bat. The 30 gram scoop is much smaller than other whey Proteins that I've used and it is 100% undetectable! I've put it in Soups, casseroles, sugar free pudding...you name it!

I’m having trouble with Water too. I’m also having major trouble with Protein. The only thing I’m actually good at is Vitamins. I hope this gets easier.

I’m 4 weeks post op today. Over the weekend I had a Migraine and had to take a Tylenol that couldn’t be crushed and I was fine. I’ve been taking my pills whole since then and I’ve been just fine.

Isopure is a clear Protein Drink that tastes like watered down koolaid. I don’t recommend doing it like I did in this picture (I made ice cubes and blended it) but just cold out of the bottle it’s good.

My surgeon also told me I could advance to soft foods early. Everyone is different and our surgeons tell us different things. People at this forum should not be telling others what is right for them.
