We can out eat any surgery...one pound at at time. Even DS - can gain weight if they eat simple carbs.

Very true.  Even though it is small portions.. you can eat those small portions ALL.DAY.LONG.  which results in huge weight gain!

This is so important to read for everyone in the early stages after VSG.   Thank you for posting it  

It's good to hear that the restriction is still there after 7 years, but you have to follow through with eating/doing the right things to keep the weight off.  I hope you don't have to undergo a revision and lose all the weight you want.  Thanks for coming back to OH and reporting on what life is like down the road.

Great Post!  Thank you.  Need to hear this.  I'm almost there...7 pounds...and have been slipping a bit.  Your post has got me back on track a bit.  

Plan...more greens...more fish...more warm tea to up my liquids...

Thanks again!

Thank so much for posting.  I am not at my goal yet, but I have already started getting into some of my pre-surgery bad eating habits, so I am working to fix that as well.  Good luck to you!

Which is why I probably stopped losing at 20 lbs short of my goal....
