Anyone never reach goal?

Maybe you can answer TexLex100 post. He seems to be leaning towards the VSG. I don't have enough info about the VSG.

I understand.....I NEVER want to go back to being fat again!!! If I gain even a couple of pounds I sometimes go into panic mode even though I know I'm a long way from being heavy.

Even though your Profile picture is pretty small you look Great in your after picture!!! Just keep doing what you feel is the best thing for your body.

I never did any kind of exercising during my losing stage and that's probably why I have so much loose and saggy skin but I knew I wasn't going to do it the rest of my life and if I stopped I'd probably gain my weight back.

I'm in maintenance at a weight range of 115-118 (today @ 114.5). I had VSG. My calories range from 800-1500. IMHO you need to drop the calories to lose more. When I am at the high end of my acceptable range I keep my calories below 800 to drop back down. I don't exercise as much as you, but historically even when I was younger and exercised a lot it never helped me lose weight (or allowed me to eat more calories).

Great to see you posting and hearing your success story! Maybe you can write to TexLex100. He is debating between VSG and RNY. I don't know much about the VSG surgery.

I just sent him a msg. Thanks for suggesting it!

I got to 3 lbs away of my goal weight . . . 3 lbs! Then, for years and years I bounced between 150-170 lbs, was content at the lower end and would kick myself in the rear when I got to the higher end. I had a bad shoulder injury earlier this year, coupled with peri-menopause, and I am now up to 183 :(

Glad you posted!!! You mentioned your goal weight but did you ever get down to a Normal BMI? It's not to late to try to get those scales to start moving in the right direction again. My RNY is still working even at 8+ years out if I eat right.

PROTEIN....PROTEIN...PROTEIN and NO CARBS!!!!!!

Hi Roz! Yes, my goal weight was also going to put me into the normal BMI range. I have lost 3lbs so far, high protein, moderate fat, low carb :)
