    Newbie & 1st stall

    Congrats on your surgery. Yep, stalls are frustrating. You’re dropping pounds then nothing. Look at it as your body playing catch-up. It’s going through a lot & is taking a break. My longest stall was 2 1/2 weeks when I was 1 kg from goal. Grrr. It was right there ... I never changed a thing & my stalls still broke. There’s a lot talk about starvation mode & upping calorie intake. The term starvation mode is actually incorrect. The correct term to describe what is occurring is adaptive thermogenesis. This is the body reducing the metabolism rate (calories burnt) in response to a reduction in caloric intake. Weight loss will reduce the number of calories you burn but studies show it’s only about 6 calories per pound lost. But a high protein diet can boost your metabolism by 80 - 100 calories per day. So I guess the take away is make sure you’re meeting your protein goals each day to keep your metabolism up & counter balance any metabolic slow down from a reduced caloric intake. Good luck. This too will pass.

    Butter free popcorn

    I didn't eat it until I was at least a year out since it's not very nutrient dense, but I do eat it occasionally now. Watch it, though - it's easy to scarf down a ton of it. It's kind of weird how much of it you can eat - although when you figure 1/4 C of kernels will pop up to about 2 cups of popcorn, then it makes sense - most of the popped part is just water, so they go back down to pretty much nothing in your pouch.

    Yeah, I’m loving the boobs (and so is my hubby!). Once they finish the drop & fluff process I think they are going to be pretty awesome :)

    Revision

    Hello, I had the lap band in 2008 and lost 63 pounds. I began to have problems (I.e. vomiting, erosion of the band) and had it removed. Gained back all that I lost and more. In 2020 I had the sleeve and 7.5 months later I have lost 80 pounds and still going. When having a revision my Dr explained that you will lose slower. Let me know if you have any other questions.
