Well I'm still hanging out in the 170's., the high end anyway, lol I've been pretty busy at work, at this time of year they want people to stay past their shift, so while the ot is good, it really cuts into my sleep & I know once the summer is over they'll cite the budget this or the budget that. You can hear the violin music playing in the background.  Not much change weight wise, same up & down. This maintenance thing takes a lot of practice! My stats so far:

High weight 366

Last week 178

This week 179

Next goal get back in the low range of the 170's & stay there! 

I forgot to add... try the Ketosis diet. You can eat meats, good fats, and veggies, as long as you stay away from CARBS and SUGAR! Do not eat more than 40 carbs a day, and it will feel HORRIBLE for the first few days because you will crave carbs soooo bad, but when you go into ketosis, your body will burn muscle and fat for energy instead of carbs. Since we have plenty of fat, we get more energy! I felt great! Just make SURE you get enough protein or it will burn muscle too! Research the keto diet, it worked for me, right before my surgery! :)

A salad with loads of stuff, even without dressing, can be 1500+ calories just by itself.  Baked food, depending on what it is, can also be bad for you.  I mean, lasagna is baked right?  Use My Fitness Pal and track everything for a week.  Like people said, you are most likely over-consuming food.

As for which surgery, that depends on you.  I'd start by talking to a surgeon about your particular needs.

If you have insurance, see if your plan covers bariatric surgery. If it does, see which surgeons are on the plan. See if these surgeons have seminars (most do). Get information and research doctors and surgeries. You should research vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), roux-en-y gastric bypass (RNY), and duodenal switch (DS). Do not get a lap band. Too many permanent problems with that one and it does not work for 99% of the people who get one, especially us heavyweights.

You also need to know that surgery is NOT magic. You said once you lose it, it will never come back. Not necessarily true. Unless you make permanent changes in your lifestyle, it can and will come back. I am almost 8 years out. I know many people who had surgery the same time as me who have gained it all back.

Your BMI is 59, which puts you in the "super obese" category. Most likely you will not lose it or keep it off without surgery. Do your research and then make a plan. Good luck.

I think you should first start tracking what you actually eat. It sounds like you think you're eating healthy and not losing weight.  That's not possible unless you have an underlying medical condition.

Download an app like My Fitness Pal and start tracking everything you put into your mouth.  Be honest.  Lying to ourselves about what we eat is what made us fat.  Weigh or measure the quantities - don't guess.  Fat people notoriously underestimate how much food they eat.

Exercise is good for your health, but it won't impact your weight loss significantly.  It's all about the calories, unfortunately. Starting off with an accurate baseline on how many calories you're taking in is a good practice to begin now, and continue after surgery.
