This was a fair question. The only stupid question is the one that was never asked.
Wear a simple pair of panties and leave the crotchless, leather one at home.

Congrats honey!! It's gonna be a big change, but for the better.

I am almost 3 weeks out and have stalled at 14 pounds. I had some friends that stalled about the same time so from reading on these sites it appears to be a normal process! Which is good news I guess!

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience stalls and slow downs and just about everyone experiences a stall about three weeks post-op. If you intend to lose a significant amount of weight then you will experience stalls.
Just follow your program.
Track your food.
Make sure you get at least 64 oz of Fluid a day.
Eat Protein first and make sure you reach your Protein target every day.
Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.
Exercise when cleared.
Stay off the scale.
And, Embrace the Stall

Today I had my pre-op appointment with the hospital.
It went well and they weighed me. I dropped 14 pounds!

I felt so good about this simple week of hell. Surgery feels so real now that it is just around the corner.

My third week stall lasted two whole weeks.
Stalls are like lovers. Your first will probably not be be your last.

Hi guys!
I am currently a couple days from being a month out. I have lost about 23 pounds. I have noticed that my weight has been lingering in the same area for the past 1-2 weeks. Most of my weight loss happened in the first one 10 days post op. I have heard of the 3rd week stall but how long does this thing last? I am on soft food at the moment.

@@sanjumelts, I am only a month out and I tend to over eat sometimes so that question was good. I was a little taken aback at the first response too, but I know kindle is a good advisor and probably didn't mean for it to sound judgmental or condescending, but anyhoo. I sometimes can feel that I've eaten too much in one sitting, even if it's no bread, Pasta, rice, etc (haven't had any of those things yet) but to the point of where I do feel full. A 6" Flatbread from subway (used to LOVE subway and would get more than one footlong to consume in a short period sometimes) doesn't seem like that much to me. I suppose that's why we are told not to consume bread if we are in the losing stage, coz it has a lot of carbs without as many nutrients. I don't work out yet and I probably could have eaten that sandwich. I would have been really full though I think. A 4oz chicken breast and some veggies would have been about the same, but less filling because of the bread. Who knows? Do what works for you and remember, there's no tone in text so sometimes we perceive one to be rude or hateful when it's really only our own perception.
Good things come to good people.

Yes this is exactly how I felt. I naturally just stopped eating. I guess I was satisfied. So this is definitely my first experience with grazing and how bad it can be. Thank you! Best,

Okay, 1. My doctor allows my 40-60 carbs a day because I train as a wrestler. Your guidelines are yours.
2. A "boatload" of food for you, you cannot eat that much. But for me, I just did. I do not feel like I'm uncomfortably full, I feel normal. Don't apply your situation to everyone else when giving advice.
3. Your style of "advice" is not advice, it is condescending. People come here for advice, not to be parented and looked down upon. We are all adults.
4. I track everything. Calories in, calories out. Macros, and micros. My question was simple in nature. If you thought it was too much, too quick, all you needed to do was leave your last bit. You could hold off on the rest.
Best,
Sanju
