so i guess i need to be tracking calories too.. cannot believe i'm actually saying that out loud.. i followed a NO carb diet yrs ago & was never focused on how many calories i consumed per day.. i will have to be more accountable by weighing & measuring bc it could be that i have been taking in TOO many calories?!?! i once read on one of these sites, you don't have to count/measure bc as long as you're following the rules & have protein,. veggies, the "tool" will stop you from taking in too muich

i don't know how to navigate this board!!! ty all for reading & responding., i eat more than 3 bites of any and everything. meaning if i prepare eggs & bacon for bkfst, i never have just 3 b-4 bites & be done, ill finish them.. i'm not a heavy carb lover, thank god so its mostly anything i eat, being protein, veggies, salad.. is my pouch stretched already!!?!?!

all of the prep work.. i really only feel like i did the best while i was on the pureed stage (when you're so limited it's no wonder you're losing) stalled for abt 5+ months now.. i get that you get out what you put in.. i need to work on my Water intake & exercise.. however, after only hovering @ abt a 50lbs loss in over a yr, i eat very clean, i just think too much @ once... i'm almost like why did i even bother. ??!! wondering if anyone else felt the same feels like my "tool" isn't working!

eat more often? less often? every 2hrs? 3 meals/2 Snacks? shakes in between? I can't say "whatever works for you".. ugh I'm stuck in a stall & haven't lost what I'd hope to by now either.. I eat very clean, VERY limited carbs if any,.. and it's never bread or sugary stuff. so I'm curious as to what is working best that ppl have noticed??

I'm sorry, I just really need to know what I'm missing. I'm already a yr out & understand that it'll take more than say 9mos ago to fill me up, however the posts I used to see on IG or FB had me wondering what I was doing wrong when someone would post & say that. and when you ask the person you'd either get ignored or "offend" them by asking how much of something were they able to eat.. just wondering. I've always been able to eat more that just 3 bites of something..

UUGGHHH, feeling so disgusted,. not looking for a pity party, just venting.. its been over a yr. since my surgery, and I'm STUCK @ abt a 50lb loss. I just reactivated this acct and see that I am up abt 5lbs since I joined in March,. I've unfollowed people/groups on IG & FB, not that I'm a "hater", (I salute & congratulate everyone)...I just don't see anything in common w them anymore.. (also my nutritionist recommended it to focus on me) my diet is usually: eggs & sausage,avocado for bkfst, lots of protein (mainly chicken) in salads or w sautéed veggies, etc. (have just started the "keto" diet) don't like carbs believe it or not, not that I haven't "cheated" & had sweets here or there, but I'm not a bread/pasta/pastry person (thank God for @ least that I guess) don't wanna go see my Dr anymore, I feel he's not helpful @ all, just recommending a book to follow. #wtf.. and the nutritionist was so/so.. have only met w her once. my low points are not drinking enough water & I'm CONVINCED I can eat too much @ one sitting. I even got a kitchen scale, haven't used it yet though. don't expect what I haven't put in, BUT I don't get why I've stalled so bad if I'm eating pretty well balanced & "clean".. what's the point of the surgery if we still have to follow a "diet" (and by that I do NOT mean I expect to still eat any & every thing that got me fat to begin with bc I don't) thx for listening....

we have the SAME surgery date! well I was the 17th.. I've had to start talking the Omp 40mg bc of acid, never had it before.. how are you coming along? my weight loss have definitely sloooowed down, I'm new to this site, but I've already been reading up on the dreaded stalls!
