Good morning! I'm new to this forum. I had vsg 1 year ago today. I had surgery, in Mexico, with Dr Alvarez and I couldn't be happier. I left northern California at #208.5. Day of surgery I was #204.5. My BMI was 38. Today, 1 year later, I am #160 with A BMI of 29.5. I am 5'2. That means I've lost #48 and 60% of my body weight. My goal is to be #130 or less. But I haven't lost one pound in six months. I eat very little and I am not sure how little I can actually eat. I have keto coffee at 7 am and then eat a lunch at 11 am. Usually, 4-6 ounces. I drink coffee and Crystal light 60+ ounces a day. I snack a few times, usually low carb, but not always. Cheese stick or something similar in size. And dinner a small portion of whatever I have fixed for my family. Again 4-6 ounces. No carb count on this. I do eat a snack after dinner but again small in size. Any suggestions?

Way to go on losing that 20 pounds! I am about the same stats as you, minus the .5 My current weight is 140. I remember when I first started losing I wanted to hit 140 so bad, then I told myself 120. Lol. I think if you know where you want to be then go for it. You may find you want to adjust once you are there whether that is less or more. Now that I am sitting at 40, after having been 128 (for a day but it counts, haha) I know that my ultimate goal is still 120.
I am with you on needing to track. When I track I do so much better. I think you will be okay maintaining. For me it is accidental. I bounce within the same 5-8 pounds weekly, that part is a bit of a struggle.
Anyways, way to go on kicking that regain weights' butt!

Have stopped losing pounds but am losing inches!
My lowest weight was 8 pounds away from my own personal goal which is 120 pounds. That took me about 16 months. But since then I have bounced from 132- 140 pounds. With this year being the hardest. I don't think I am plateauing per say, but more likely I have put myself into maintenance. I also exercise quite frequently so though my scale doesn't change often, my clothing still fits pretty good and I am sometimes able to fit into smaller sizes.
You are still pretty early out. I think you will be okay, just keep on keeping on. Sometimes you will have months with crazy big loses and other months you will be lucky to get a pound. In the end it usually evens all out. Congrats on your progress so far!!

I'm not sure where Roz is the last couple of days, so I thought I'd fire this up.
A little chilly here in southwestern Ontario, made getting up for the gym a little tough. I did my 5 kms though so that's good. Not much on the go this weekend.
