Post op VSG Girl! On the highway to a healthy and sexy new me!

5 years post op VSG

WORTH IT$15,000
Pre op weight 226. Lowest weight post op 142. Current weight 168. Goal weight still 140-145. Kept most of the weight off after 5 years...average weight 148-153. Still struggle with exercising routinely. Eating healthy most of time but still love deserts. Still stress eating and snacking. Ready to eliminate the 20 pounds gained over last 2 years!
Help! How do I loose this extra 20 lbs for good?!?!?!

Lata's provider

Dr. Nirmal Jayaseelan

Dr. Jay requires an EGD be done prior to having the VSG. Although I have met with him only twice (initial consult and EGD procedure) he had great bedside manners and seemed very knowledgeable and resourceful. I feel comfortable putting my health in his care. I will see him again for a pre-op appointment.

You look great! Did you have issues with loose skin? Because it doesn't look like it at all. Weightlifting may help you drop the last 20 lbs pretty fast... It's great for toning up as well. Meditation as well... (You mentioned stress eating)

15 months post op!

Hello RS friends!
Here is the long overdue update! Starting wt. 226... current wt. 149 and wt. loss is mostly stagnant. Goal wt. is 135.
Doing well, can eat anything. Sometimes I have sugar cravings but good news is I still can't eat much. Still need to increase exercise. Very lazy when it comes to exercise but did get gym membership for motivation.
Also will plan to have tummy tuck... still have lots of belly fat ????.

Your so close to goal, that's so exciting!
I'm 11 days post op and can't wait to start working out!
Congrats! How are you feeling and how is the liquid diet going? Goood that you are motivated to exercise...start w walking only then add in other things as tolerated.
I'm out of the liquid stage now, doing good I'm a few days away from stage 3 puree foods. Looking forward to it!
Great inspiration! Hard work pays off. I can't wait to post my "after" story.
