Does she need thicker support post? It was a pain getting these two stakes In her she is heavy! But I feel like she needs bigger stakes?

Yes I would get bigger stakes but only a bit bigger. Honestly if she wasn’t on stakes already I would say she doesn’t even need them but now that the plant is used to it it’s better if you just continue with growing on a stake
