I had VSG and I was fairly strict till I reached my goal, I focused on hitting my protein goal and drinking 2+L water a day, I didn’t really eat bread often as it filled me too much and I steered away from too many of my ‘trigger’ foods which were candy, ice cream etc. tried to have two serves of fruit a day and eat as healthy as I could ?

I reached beyond my goal and lost 129lbs in 10 months following surgery if there helps at all x

Sorry you’re feeling this way. Definitely seek help and try to believe it will help - if you write it off before you even try then it will fail. You can and will be successful and happy x

I took solid tablets the morning after my surgery. My surgeon has told me not to have any anti inflammatories like nurofen ever again :/

If I’m working it out correctly I’ve lost 103% of my excess weight. Starting weight was 266lbs, goal was 147lbs and I’m weighing around 145lbs.

As mentioned already follow your docs advice 100%. Become a disciplined person and log your food, start working out even if it’s just walking, speak with a psychologist and change your lifestyle - this is the key to success x

Well done on getting back on track! It’s so challenging isn’t it to fight those old habits! I’m at goal now and down 115lbs - I am fighting myself mentally some days more than others but trying hard to keep my good workout and eating routine ?

Rokeby farms smoothies are really yum and not too sweet - 30g protein ?

Here are my weekly losses (in grams and kilograms) :)

Carbonated drinks apparently can cause pouch stretching. There’s a lot of pros and cons but personally (and just my opinion) why take the risk :)

Oh right yes it is this is the 8 month loss though so it’s slowing as I’m closer to goal. I was around 13-17lbs most months until the last month or two :)

I workout fairly hard 3x a week and walk other days. What seems low?

I’m in my 8 month now and have lost 6lbs this month - definitely slowing (I’m about 2lbs off goal) :)

I’m 8 months PO and starting weight was 266 and I’m 162 now :)

Yes I’m tracking all my food - i can’t really see a pattern or a standout which is what is so confusing ?
