Plateau after one year VSG

Hello everyone,

I had a VSG in February of 2016. I am still losing weight slowly but I wanted some insight on how other VSGers are handling plateaus one year after surgery. What is your advice?

Thanks!

You are on RNY forum. You may ask on VSG specific forum.

But - IMO - the type of surgery does not matter.

As we lose weight - our body gets adapted to the type of food and the average amount of calories we eat and become very efficient in maintaining ...

When you were heavier - what you ate and did created big enough calories deficit that you were losing weight quickly. As we get smaller - we need to eat less - and often different foods.

I have to avoid all simple and most complex carbs, to make my body to lose weight ,- to force my body to burn the extra fat. Some fat the body is very reluctant to burn.

What you doing? now is not helping you lose weight - try changing it.

If you eat too many carbs - stop. Even fruits are mostly sugar. And "bite here, bite there" is enough to trigger storing instead of burning fat.

I start gaining weight if I eat too much dairy - cheese, yogurt..
