Tried Benito chips. They are good but gave me a Fiber gut ache.

I've heard of them but couldn't find them around here! Thought of ordering them.

I have not posted on here in months. Thought I'd come back to share my progress. I'm at my original goal weight. 140lbs. Here is my before 258 and current. I would like to drop another 20lbs.

I am struggling with my food I want to eat all the time. I keep looseing and regaining the same 2-3lbs. Once I get over this sinus infection I plan on making some more changes.

Great job on your loss! I fluctuate between the same 3 lbs as well and have for awhile too! Gets old but I am thankful for the 132 I've lost so I shouldn't complain.

I had 2 days like that last week! Never had happened before and was scary! Usually I'm not hungry at all and could care less if I eat. Hope it doesn't become a regular thing or I'll be in trouble! ;)

I am feeling very frustrated today! The scale is not moving at all and I am out of ideas! I know we stall but honestly, today I'm over it! Maybe I'm done losing but I hope not. Can't wait for this back to heal so I can exercise cuz I know that would help. I eat right, drink Water constantly and get my Protein in. I should walk but it's been too cold, and I'm super afraid to slip and fall. I can't drive yet to go to the mall and walk either. Sorry for the self pity. I'm having an off day! Thanks for listening friends.

I understand. I'm stuck in my first real stall since surgery - three weeks with no movement. And I can't wait for spring so I can walk outside again. It's going tho be a long, long winter! :-p

Hang in there Dorian! :-)

Sounds like we are all in the same boat. Sorry several Of us are struggling but happy I'm not alone. I went a little crazy over Xmas. Broke all sorts of rule. I've been working to be back on track and doing ok with that but still just want to eat and eat. And it seems I'm able to eat much larger quantities! Scares the hell out of me!! The scale is not moving even when I'm doing everything that would have worked before. How to get back in charge and the scale moving??!!

OMF!! I also had a day of almost non-stop snacking! What the hell?? Had loads of litchis during the day. Some watermelon. 2 pieces of chocolate. Some rice crackers (quite a few).

????

Maybe it's the 9th month curse??

I can also eat a lot more than before. Usually i am very good and stick to my meals and up my Protein and dont snack.< /p>

Just dont know what went on today.

I try not to keep any junk around. It's been hard to eat properly this past week. Either not eating at all, or eating fattening foods. Didn't weigh..don't care right now.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
