Go back to your diet plan...

NOT liquid one, but the protein w/ limited carbs.

and combine that with intermittent fasting...which is not a strict diet per-se. but a method of eating all foods in a tighter window..In this you set your goals and work your time to what you desire... there are you tube video's on how it is best accomplished.

For this to be effective one can do this 3 or 4 times a week, and work up to the goal time that is most effective for you...instead of eating at 7,12,5.. eat all food intake/calories in 2pm- 7pm time frame. giving a long fasting time..with water, plain coffee,

Hubs takes his ACV and med supplements during his morning wake up ritual..he was either brave or desperate- he began it with a 22 hour fast, and has done 2 36 hour fasts...he has dropped more than a pants size n about weeks.( he did not have WLS) he was to a 40waist, and today put on a pair of 36's- they were too tight to be comfortable but he got them fastened..

. avoid artificial sweetners/chemical additives... they make some people hungry. I have swapped to "pyure stevia" and occ. mung fruit. I am doing about 14 hours most of the time...now. That is a far cry form the q 4hour intervals i was eating.....I have low blood sugar issues so if my sugar goes wacky i am off it for a few days til stable.... hope this gives you another tool in your tool box.

Buy some sort of a fitness tracker and for 2 weeks, track your exercise and every bite of food you eat. When the 2 weeks are up analyze the results. This should tell you what you need to change. Weigh at the beginning and the end of the 2 weeks. Don't try to diet, just be normal.

Just saying eat less doesn't work. Maybe you need to eat more of different things.

Exercise is great and necessary. But you cannot outrun a bad diet. The only way to lose weight is to eat less calories than your body burns,

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear about the setbacks on your VSG journey. Big virtual hugs to you! I hope that you can find a solution to your problem.

i think what helped me with the most with the VSG was keeping low-carb wits high protein and walking. My problem was that I fell off the low-carb wagon and never got back in again. All the slider foods went down too well and I wasn't eating protein first, nor keeping to 1 cup of food servings. I gained almost everything back after that happened.

I'll let you know what I decide - I have my next consultation with Dr Gagner this week to talk about the DS path.

Join Weigh****chers and follow their points plan. Set a goal of one pound per week. You might lose a few more the first week. Attend meetings, weight and measure, and track your food. Drink more water and exercise. There is no magic. It is the same for people who never had surgery. Burn more calories than you take in.
