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

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
