    ciciwms reacted to MandM1188 in Pouch stretching?? Can I shrink it?   
    Eat less( eat 5 times a day not 12 times a day but make sure you get your macros in).........eat in a certain window for example between 7am and 7pm only. dont eat and drink at the same time. These are ways to make sure your pouch or stomach doesn't stretch too much from this point on. You got this!!!!!

    You've done such a great job. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

    I will typically go back to how I ate when I was in the weight loss phase - little to no processed foods, limited carbs, no drinking calories, Protein first, then non-starchy veggies. I literally cannot overeat on nutrient-dense, protein-rich food. My tummy won't let me. So by sticking to that kind of food, the calories take care of themselves.

    I like to call myself the poop queen. I wear my crown proudly, after a decade of diverticulitis and multiple bowel resections and now WLS.
    After a liquid diet of truly Clear Liquids it is not uncommon to not have a bowel movement in that long. That being said, do you feel uncomfortable or is your stomach super hard or distended? Are you able to pass gas?
    Once you start drinking full liquids and eating soft foods you will find yourself making stool.
    True clear liquids are like a vacation for your bowels, once you can no longer see through the stuff you are drinking you will have waste.
    Hope that answers your question, if not ask, my brain holds much knowledge of all things related to poop.

    I’m in the same boat, but I did lose 1 lb. this week. Sad, but hearing others have or are going thru it helps to know we’re not abnormal. Thanks to all who ‘weighed’ in!

    Follow your diet and you'll resume your excellent weight loss soon. It is science. Your calorie deficit will result in weight loss. Just be sure to get all your Protein so your body won't consume muscle.
    Here are some things I ate during that stage: eggs, melted low fat cheese or string cheese, mashed potatoes, bananas, Peanut Butter, applesauce, lean ground meats like turkey, and cooked carrots. Homemade slow cooker turkey chili was a daily staple for a while.

    I have a pretty simple and unexciting diet as well most of the time. As far as getting vegetables incorporated into your diet, before my surgery I basically did not eat any vegetables. I highly recommend getting some Brussel sprouts and cutting them in half, placing them on a baking sheet and drizzling them with a little olive oil and then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bake at 375 for ~40 minutes. They are delicious!

    I had a few stalls and its super normal!!! Just focus on the NON scale wins. Try measuring yourself, or just notice how different you feel!!! Non scale wins count as well!! The scale will follow suit in time!

    EVERYONE and I mean everyone has a STALL ! yes they suck !!!! I know exactly how your feel and what your going thru !!! In layman's terms : Your body is in starvation made : It thinks its starving, so your body's mechanism changes. 1) You are still definitely burning your fat !!!, what the scale does not show is your body holding on to Water. 2) Stay the course ! With such a low calorie intake you are still burning fat cells !!!!, Stay the course !! 3) The scale will move again , and you will be happy ! I've dropped as much as 4lbs in two days after stall. 4) Yes its frustrating Very frustrating...STAY the COURSE it works .....
