I stopped losing weight after VSG

[aussiedoodlelover94 2]

Highest weight: 346

Weight the day of surgery: 316.4

Current weight: 266

It’s been 9 months since I had the sleeve and I’ve only lost 50 lbs. I‘ve expressed my concern with my surgeon, and she seemed somewhat concerned. She put me on Phentermine which helped me lose 10 lbs but that’s about it. I can’t eat as much as I used to, but I can still eat quite a bit before feeling full which scares me. I portion my food out to try to avoid overeating. I’m not sure what more to do. I don’t have any health issues other than being obese. I’ve been feeling really defeated about this. Does anyone have any advice on maybe kickstarting the weight loss again or maybe taking a different route for another surgery?

I can understand that to be frustrating.
Just brainstorming thoughts... What types of foods are you eating? For example, sticking to low fat/sugar/carb and high Protein. What about drinks? Low to no calorie. Physical activity? Cardio and strength training. What about medications? Too much sodium? Water weight? Are you still tracking your food and fluids? Has your team done blood work lately? What does the nutritionist say?
Another way to measure progress is by measuring different areas of your body versus just the scale. Maybe you're losing inches instead of pounds. How about the way you feel or activities you can now do.
Hopefully, you and your team can figure out what is going on.

I agree with the above post, speak to your team and review what you are eating and drinking every day. I tend to not loose much if I eat too little, and do not drink enough fluids.
