Stalls are funny. My weight has dropped pretty fast in my Eyes. I had my operation 9/13/2017, and its funny , I still weigh my self everyday like an excited little kid! Some days I will lose weight, some days I'll be up a little, and sometimes for a week, ill be about the same weight, then bam the next day, ill be down 2 -3 more lbs, its been a very good transition! I havent experienced any of the dumping syndroms, or anything as of yet.
I think the weird thing at this point for me, is feeling my bones, in my shoulders, my hips, and my ribs. Also the other thing I really enjoy, is seeing someone that hasnt seen me since my surgery, and cant belive I'm the same person!
Cheers - Dennis

I also use the Myfittnesspal app to count. I also have a very cool Bariatastic app I use.. but its american and not all the dutch products are on it.. so sometimes I have to do some guessing. But it keeps all the macros handy in a widget so you know your intake .. I do keep a diary also. Otherwise its so easy to go off track
We follow a no fat no sugar low carb diet. So only 50 grams of potatoes/rice/pasta per day- but also 2 slices of wholegrain bread per day- so its not that strict.. I have heard of stricter programs where people even count the calories and carbs in the Vitamin supplements haha yikes!

Hello HAve you recently had your surgery? We are advised not to eat any raw greens and veg or salads the first three months..also no seeds..rice or stuff that could get stuck in your seatures.
Id also be very carefull with fatty foods like fish sticks and bacon.. you could react to the fat with a massive "dumping" hihi If you have Protein with EVERY meal.. it should be easy to hit the protein mark daily- like instead of pb and jam.. eat cheese or lean meat slices on your bread that way the protein adds up quickly- and you feel fuller for longer..also no tricking the brain into thinking its having sugar when its not.. even sugar free products can give you cravings for sugarry stuff.. our brains arent fooled haha
dont worry about the amounts of food you can eat with time.. it increases on its own..
good luck

Hey peeps.. you guys are doing great!
Also - it is common for your weight to stand still going from liquids to solids.. everything needs to settle in.. once you hit your Protein goals and increase your calories to above 800.. your weightloss will kick back in .. if you eat too less.. your body will retain fat as it thinks its starving.. if you keep to your dr's diet.. and the allowed amounts of portions.. you will get past the stall and back into losing.. sometimes it can take up to 3 weeks for your body to adapt.. and then suddenly the pounds starts dropping.. dont lose the faith.. and try not be so hard on yourself.. you have done great.. and every pound lost- COUNTS.. even if it was lost before the op!

Hey Jazmania
Nice to hear from you! looks delicious!
My progress has also been really slow compared to others who've had this surgery- But I am patient.. I had 110 pounds to lose! I am 5"1 inches.. with BMI of 42. So far I have lost 22 pounds of which 13 pounds has been after
my surgery. I lose about 2 pounds per week. I am happy with it. I feel really good to be honest i guess i am lucky- i havent had any issues. Still settling into the new diet. Let me know how you have been doing since surgery.
