Hello all! I'm new here!

I had VSG 04/18/18 and have lost approximately 90lbs. Down to 245 from 335. While this is great, my goal is to get down under 200 by 18 months post op.

I struggle with how many carbs to eat, calorie intake. I track everything on Baritastic, but I'm not sure my numbers are right as I haven't truly lost much at all the past few months. My nutritionist that was at my surgeons office left, and they do not plan to hire another one- she was my biggest ally in all of this journey. My surgeon sent me to a weight loss center, but they told me huge numbers and I did it for 4 weeks and it did not cause a loss.

Any ideas on what I could try that may help from others with this experience? I am so thankful for the 90lbs lost, but I know somehow I can lose sooo much more!

Thanks in advance!

Congrats on 90 down!

I’m years out. I had to dial in my weight loss calories and macros using my food app. If you are interested in how to dial it in, let me know. It will be specifically to where your body starts losing weight.

Yes I would love to find out how to dial in!
