No.

Are your stats accurate/current? what was the most you lost? When did you stop losing? When did you start gaining? Did you ever hit goal?

What do you eat? Do you weigh your food? Do you track your food?

245 starting, 186 was my lowest, never hit goal weight of 175, now I'm 203. My weight came in platues starting about Dec 2016. I was weighing everything and wasn't losing and then realized its b/c the meds I'm on for back spasms. My Dr. Doesn't believe its my meds. And when i try to get off of them on my own, the pain returns. So I'm sort of lost and don't weigh b/c I don't think it will make a difference.

Track track track!!!
I read an article bout how to maintain weight loss after vsg on bariatric life magazine. Said keep up 64 oz fluids, keep liquid and food separate, track food, low carb. Basically make sure you keep up the protocol we get at the beginning.
I hope this helps.

Weighing and tracking your food is really key! You can get so many extra calories just eye balling it.

Do the meds make you constipated?

Track you food and eating nothing but dense Protein for a week and see if you drop some weight.

Have you ever tried a prescription Lidocaine patch for your back spasms? I have and it works well for me and I suffer zero complications, unlike what happens with narcotic or OTC pain medicine. I wear the patch 12 hours on then 12 hours off.

I've always had a problem with Constipation, so no big change there. What do you consider dense protein? Thanks for your response.

I sure have. They didn't work too well for me. It was so bad, that I checked the box they came in to make sure they weren't expired.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
