@@debbie813 need to get clarification from NUT/surgeon did he mean to not to drink coffee forever??

@@sukik sure its normal silly head many people have periodic stalls throughout their journey the good new is that in 6 months - this is your first stall??? if that is the case - that is great you are doing great with your food plan eating, drinking, Protein all sound right take your measurements many times when people have temporarily stopped loosing weight their measurements numbers are going down?? clothing fitting any better???

@@cindyt after surgery, for different periods of times some people do have trouble drinking Water they don't like it is one reason or they do have trouble "keeping" the water down room temp water, or chrystal lite often help that issue you have one leg up since you love ice water after surgery you must drink very slowly only taking small sips you have a new tummy and you can't overwhelm it some people do have trouble remembering to drink enough i have heard of people setting timers to drink again it works talk to your NUT when you can drink faster, eventually gulp even if you feel like you could drink quickly - slow down talk to your NUT - she will tell you what to do and "where to go" thats great that you are asking these kind of questions prior to surgery keep getting more info and asking your questions you can never know/learn too much "most" of us don't bite good luck kathy
