Hello Everyone!!!
I hope everyone is doing well. I had VSG in 2016 and went from 268 to 183 (not as much as the doctor thought I'd lose) and have since been on a steady regain. I feel so frustrated and could use some advice for getting back on track and heading the right direction. Good thing is I do still get full very quickly so I know my pouch is still working!
Thank you in advance!!!
first, you have a sleeve not a pouch. A pouch is made when one has a gastric bypass.
second, what is a days menu like for you?
Good Morning!
I wrote this blog post detailing how getting a Gastric Sleeve Surgery can lead to a happier you!

I use the bottled premier protein shakes. 160 calories, 20 g protein, 1 sugar. I have used the newer equate brand from Walmart - and I am wondering if they are impacting in spite of the same claim on nutrition label. I will try the advice above and see how I do. Thank you again.
I use my net diary faithfully and I measure the 15th of every month. Inches gained have been in the abdomen and hip section in spite of walking 2-3 times/week, and doing a cardio/strength/ab workout at least 3 times per week. Play golf on the weekends. My daily calorie goal is set at 750. Calories in/calories out usually average between 700-900. For 3 weeks, I tried exercising 2x/day in an effort to burn more calories - but saw zero weight change. Weigh first thing every morning. Really appreciate your time and information.
it is possible you are eating too many calories. I would drop it back to 600 and eat more meat and chicken, cheese, dairy and thenn VM least amount of carbs possible from Vegas or any other source. Try to keep the carbs at 20 or less.
what protein shake are you using, calories etc, and how are you mixing them?
I would wait until you can take about a month off from other stressful activities. I would not advise doing all of this at the same time. You might be fine or you might wish you have not added all that extra stress.
Weight loss surgery is not a life-threatening emergency. Your school and test should take priority.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Thank you :)! I'm chugging along. I was actually able to get an entire premier protein shake down yesterday with no issue so today I'm going for two. My protein goal is 50-60g a day.
