    Stomach flab.

    I have a lot of hanging stomach flab. Does anyone know if I will lose any of it while I'm on this diet. Or will it get worse.? Sent from my LG-M327 using BariatricPal mobile app

    Horrible taste in my mouth

    Ugh! I had that terrible taste too. My doc gave me a prescription for yeast on my tongue. She also said to try to drink more water, I know easier said than done right now. I sucked on a lot of sugar free mints!

    As long as there's now swinging from the chandeliers, I think 2 weeks should be a long enough wait. Take it easy and no hand stands for at least a month.

    Stomach flab.

    @lori1963 Will this diet get rid of your stomach area? Yes and no You will lose weight and pant sizes. If you hold your weight in your stomach area you may have loose skin to deal with after weight loss. insurance may help cover plastics if you have documented rashes or mobility issues.

    Frustrated

    My surgery is March 27th. You didn’t make me doubt anything. I think it’s helpful to hear that the weight doesn’t just drop off everyone. I can see how easy it would be to get frustrated. A year from now you will be a different person and these feelings will be a distant memory. Your husband deserves a gold star for being so supportive. I hope you get a loss soon!!!

    Frustrated

    I am scared this will happen to me too. I say just keep plugging along, eventually your body will have to give it up. I’m sorry you aren’t seeing the results you expected

    I just wanna eat

    And... please tell me this: where do I even begin in working with my past issues with food? Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

    How do I break this habit?

    Wise ones, At my goal weight and just over 18months past surgery, I am becoming aware of some of my old, bad, eating habits creeping back in. The one I'm focusing on at the moment is this: When I am eating, and just after I'm done, all I can think about is eating more and/or again. I'm not hungry, but it seems that if I haven't eaten so much that I feel uncomfortable or sick, I just want more. I try not to give in, try to wait for a specific period of time, try to write down what I've eaten immediately.... but I'm really struggling with this. I guess I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop and start gaining weight again. This hasn't happened, but I worry about my capacity for self-fulfillment of my fears! Any advice or empathy is welcome! I'm going to work on checking in more on this forum again. I had gotten out of the habit in the last year, but I think it will help.

    I'm experiencing the same thing and my dietitian told me to just be patient and stalls are natural, but I didn't expect a stall this early into the game. I'm wrapping up 5 weeks post-op on Monday and haven't lost anything during Weeks 4 and 5 although I have lost 16 pounds and 15 inches in the first three weeks. I'm just trusting the process. I'm eating about 800 calories/day too and wondered if I needed to ramp it up a little and my dietitian said 900 calories max at this point.
