So I come to oh often but don't really stray from the general discussions page. So figured I would look here at people who actually had the same surgery as I did. I do have a question or two. My nutritionist says once at goal weight u will go under a bit then come back up. I get that , my question is how much do you go under? I'm currently 11 lb under and didn't particularly want to be at this however i am also feeling now that geez to "gain" 11 lb would truly make me upset. I mean I know there will be fluctuations and you should want a "weight range" to be in not just one specific number but just wondering. Also does anyone have experience with jogging strollers?? I am looking to get one but have nowhere to start! My gf has one of her own I'm actually going to borrow to see if I even like the feel of one. Thanks in advance :-)

Welcome to the VSG board!  

I think that your nutritionist shouldn't be making blanket statements like that, since they're not true for everyone.  Are you seeing a therapist?  That might help with the fear of gaining a little bit of weight/maintaining a weight "range" during maintenance.  Are you healthy at 11 pounds under your goal or are your underweight?
