So I started logging my food today and let's say whoa. I usually get a peppermint latte a couple times a week and a big one and I found out that was like 350 calories due to it is not non fat and it is not sugar free. I guess i have to do some rearranging because alot of places do not carry sf peppermint just vanilla. oh well what an eye opener.

Oh by the way I am doing alot better than i was with my cold so that is good.

You can buy those sf syrups by Torani online. My husband likes lattes so much we bought a machine. So, we drink sf lattes with lactaid fat free milk.

I am so tempted to buy a machine myself. I drink a venti non-fat latte everyday. I could pay for a machine in less than a month, I am sure! Unfortunately, I don't like the Torani sf syrups.

I never tried the Torani brand I have bought the Davinci brand though and it is not bad. Maybe I should get a machine. Not know maybe for christmas.

We have a Saeco Spidem. I just make one cup of coffee in the morning and my husband makes his latte. It has more than paid for itself. Look on ebay. Might get a good price for a machine.

As you know, I have been stuck for months too. You know, my friend that had gastric bypass when I got lap band quit losing about the same time. Now, she lost 122lbs because she has malabsorption..........and I lost 70. She reached her goal and am half way through. I have heard that as we lose our body's metabolism slows. I have been on a 1000calorie diet for two weeks. Yes, I usually eat1200 a day, but I have only lost 2lbs. I am frustrated, but not defeated. I go next week for the test where I blow into the machine for my metabolic rate. I am really interested in knowing how many calories I need to eat to lose. There has got to be an answer for this weight loss stall.

Ladies, ladies, ladies....I am Miss Plateau Queen! (Click on my ticker and you can see )You can not take my title from me, so stop trying! I have had 3, yes, 3. Two for a month or little over a month and then my last, and the killer of all plateaus, for about 5 months. It lasted from March until August. I just recently started losing again, albeit slowly, but I am losing. I am pleased, because before banding, I can assure you my big butt would have been gaining this whole time instead of holding steady. So, I'm really not complaining, just claiming the title I think I have earned.:blink:

1000cal seems to little I hope the blow test will reveal you can eat more

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
