18 months post VSG

~155 lbs, BMI 27

Reflux (GERD) increased in intensity but I'm working on it. Mystery of dumping continues- c'est la vie... Gave up a few foods for a while to see if it helps both. We'll see.

Not many other changes from the prior month. This looks like maintenance for me.

Reflux is not nice, but obesity can cause so many more serious conditions than that.

You look fan-bloody-tastic and I bet you feel great too (reflux notwithstanding!). ?

You look amazing. You’re my inspiration. Thank you for giving a newbie hope. I’m pre-op going on month 3 of 6.... Oh and it’s my first time posting here. 3 more months to go feels like eternity to me.

Hi all! Im 18 months post op...been up and down the same 3 pounds for literally the last 6 months.....Obviously Im not perfect with diet but rarely fall off the wagon completely lol. I am happy, healthy and confident...but damn those last 25 pounds are not wanting to leave!!!!! I tried KETO...literally perfect for 8 weeks and only lost 6 pounds...stopped doing that! I guess I need to really buckle down for the last 25!

You are likely either in maintenance or a on long plateau, some call these set points.

These are HARD to break past.

My suggestion is check in with your team on how to get through to the other side

I was told LOTS of exercise... Not what anyone wants to hear... i know ?

Then really buckle down, go back to clran basics etc...

but if you are satified where you are (and your team is also) do it at your own reasonable pace

Good Luck

Im guessing its Maintenance because I have been this weight several times in my life...I think my body is comfy here...I do really want/need to lose another 25030 pounds and I think youre right...exercise is likely the key
