At 4 months I *thought* I could eat anything because everything was going so easily. I was wrong. Your tolerance can change in an instant. At 2.5 months out you've already tested the waters so now you know they are deep and murky. But honestly Don't worry about everyone else. That's a recipe for unhappiness. Your journey is your own. You *may* likely be required to exercise restraint and control beyond the surgery. Your success *may* depend solely on strictly following the formula your surgeon laid out for you. Same for most of us in the losing phase: Protein, vegetable, hydration/water, log food, exercise & positive outlook. Good luck

You are likely stalled , on a Mini plateau or eating your maintenance caloric intake. It happens to a lot of us. Give it a few more days shake things up a bit like more water less carbs etc or just wait out. But diligently track your intake so you can see if anything makes or breaks it! Good luck 💜

I had this, and never really lost my hunger. It's why I'm only down 67 pounds instead of 100 at 8 months out. I got a wake up call when I didn't lose weight at all for several months and I had to start being much stricter. I weigh and track everything I put in my mouth, I don't eat gluten or processed foods, I drink at least 70 oz. of water daily, I eat sugar once in a blue moon (usually a piece of dark chocolate) and I exercise like a fiend. All to make up for those months when the weight should have been falling off of me but I was eating whatever I wanted. It's definitely not too late for you at 2.5 months out. Just go back to your plan, eat slowly, track your calories, and don't chase fullness. We should only be eating until we're satisfied, if we eat to fullness we've already eaten too much. You got this!

Last three days until pureed state and I am counting down hours.

I tried something that was too rich for my tolerances.

Thank you, Yes I’m in the preppy liquid diet

I'm not coupled, but found this advice column interesting https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/askamy/ct-ask-amy-04112019-story.html

The weight started coming off right away but i did have an early stall. I'm now steadily losing 1-2 lbs a week. They told me due to my previous surgeries that i would lose slower. I lost 8lbs prior to surgery and 32 since December 5th.

Dayna, my surgery is Jan 4 too! I am 3 days down and the worst part for me was the caffeine headache. Mainly day 2, today was better. Dr Doucette is doing my surgery in Huntsville, Alabama. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
