My longest stall was five weeks or so. I *may* not have been entirely on point with my program during that time, but I was still eating relatively few calories and finding it frustrating that the scale didn't move. Eventually, however . . .

So happy for you

Hello everyone sorry I have not been on here for a while but I am back now how are you all.

I am still waiting my date and was told i would be getting a date for my op End of October 2017.
Leanne

I cannot wait for people I know to pass me by because they do not recognize me. Then I will know that I have achieved something!

Great photos

I haven’t got to that stage yet - but have decided that I will be making it clear it’s personal and won’t be discussing it. I work with older people in a residential setting and I know how they would love to talk my business. But I find it hard enough fitting in my tasks without having this level of conversation,

From your mouth to God's ears!
Following!

At times especially if too soon after food my liquids can cause me to vomit. I try and have my main bulk liquids at late night after meals. I give food priority as I can’t seem to get much in

Followed! [emoji108]

Me too ! I have lost 6.7 stone. I am going for a bra fitting on Saturday . I am sure that will make a big difference as I have extremely large bosum that is not correctly supported

You most likely will always see yourself as the person you once were. Im down to basically my goal weight and still dont see myself as others do. AllI can say is do split screen photos of your before and after...It will show then.

I have lost about 80 pounds and people are just now noticing. My pants still fit that I wore pre surgery. The problem is that they were tight then and really baggy now. I know I forget how tight they were. I went and tried on clothes and found I could wear smaller sizes. I also started setting non scale victories. I am able to walk a mile in 14 minutes. You are doing great! 50 pounds is amazing!!!

You got it! The "players" change each day. Today it's a banana. Tomorrow, strawberries. Exchange chicken for salmon, etc. But the portion sizes stay pretty much the same.
The bowls holding the veggies will hold 8oz Water if filled to the brim, so my stomach is holding about a cup of food now, if it's soft.
The cloudy jar of liquid is coconut water.

I vomit at least 3 times a week - I am 3 months post sleeve, I sometimes vomit every meal - I think
The main cause is spicy food, trying to drink with food or that bite too much

I have only vomited a few times. I got really hungry and ate too much Protein (chicken) too quickly. Sometimes my tummy needs a few minutes to know it’s full. One bite or two over my limit and I feel like it’s stuck and then I vomit.
I’m 9 weeks btw

I am a weed smoker because of my PTSD and anxiety from the military. When I did my hospital admit the nurse asked and I told her I was honest. She said that weed wouldnt be a tie breaker for my surgery. I have read numerous people post op say that weed did not hurt their surgery.

This is the first day - of the rest of your life

Wow - you were lucky - I would have barfed in the buffet if I tried that

Panera bread is evil. They just sent me an email saying they're giving me a free bagel every day this month. Evil!

chips are a slider food, a.k.a. slurry food. Other sliders include crackers, pretzels, biscuits, mashed potatoes, Cookies, and other snacky carb treats. You can eat an unlimited amount of sliders.
Sliders turn into a liquid slurry once you chew/swallow and don't stay in your stomach for more than a few seconds, so they'll never challenge your sleeve in a way that produces fullness or satiety.
You can eat a 1-pound bag of chips and never feel full.
Sliders also promote rapid weight gain because they 'slide' right through the stomach into the small intestine where the calories are readily absorbed and stored as fat.
You have an amazing tool in the form of your sleeve. If you continue to sabotage your body's weight loss efforts by eating junk foods and high-glycemic fruits so early in the game, then getting a sleeve may have been an ultimate exercise in futility.
Don't waste your tool. You can do this. Good luck to you.

Water weight from the salty chips?

Does anyone else do this? I never use to but since surgery I weight myself naked all the time

I am guessing that whether or not you have had wls we still have nutritional needs that everyone has- just harder to get them in.
