To those of you who have been successful at Breaking a Stall !
Traci J. replied to WeeWers's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I upped my carb intake for a few days then went back down to the 40g/day I was supposed to be at...works every time for me -
3 months post op-what is everyone eating?
Traci J. replied to yologirl's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
At 3 months out I was able to eat anything I wanted that my stomach didn't have a problem with, which was nothing. I still really try and watch my carb intake, because they are my weakness so I try and stay away as much as possible, and have done well with it. Just remember protein first, by the time that is done you won't want anything else. Good luck! -
Horrible taste in mouth
Traci J. replied to weigh-in's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's the ketosis, and you will have that taste for quite a while, along with really bad breath. Suck on sugar-free mints, that helps with both. It will go away eventually. Good luck on your journey! -

Dec 18th sleever how much have you lost
Traci J. replied to thensley820's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on the 12/19 and started at 270 and now 220, I'm 5'4. Dr. told me I'm right where they expected. Anything that averages 12 lbs. a month is what they're looking for (even with stalls). Just keep doing what you're doing. -
Stalls can last for awhile. If you haven't already, I'd take your measurements because when the scale stops moving is usually when your body is catching up by losing inches. I am 3 1/2 mo. out and stalled for a good 3 weeks and am only down 44 lbs....but I've lost over 18" and am down 3 sizes. Don't get discouraged...it will start up again.

Ten Months and 111 pounds down. No longer Obese! Yay. Pics
Traci J. replied to Lisa's Hope's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You look fabulous! I hope to look that good 10 months out. Keep up the good work! And you'll be just fine with the gallbladder surgery, just might make things go through you faster if you know what I mean -
How long do we have to take chewables?
Traci J. replied to Alikfield's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
You should be good. I quit taking chewables a month out, other than my Vitamin B. -
My nut is a NUT! --where should I be at 4 weeks out?
Traci J. replied to Karishero's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Keep in mind every Dr & Nut have their own rules, but mine said I should be getting 600-700 calories, less than 40g. of carbs, don't eat anything that has more than 10g. of sugar per serving, and to drink 48+ oz. of liquid a day and not to worry about anything else. Having said that, on days that I go over on my carbs my estimated weight loss is actually less than on days I stay under the 40g. But, either way, I am down 40 lbs. and will be 3 months out tomorrow...but I have lost 12" and went from a 24 to a 16/18. -
The Berry is my favorite...I'd use a higher protein soy milk or something just to increase the protein level without having to add additional protein powder.

It'll get better by the day and soon the pain and hassle will be a thing of the past. You're body just went through a major surgery and has to heal....which takes about 2 months, so try and relax and get through it then it'll be on to the rest of your slim life

Probably just increased acid. Are you on an acid reducer? I take protonix daily and haven't had a problem.

I had a BMI of 46 and was diabetic. I had the sleeve and went home the next day off my medications. I have had no problems since surgery at all and I'll be 3 months out on the 19th. Honestly, the sleeve and bypass both have the same end results...but the sleeve doesn't have as many risks as the RNY because nothing is being rerouted, and alot of surgeon's are now preferring the sleeve due to this. but either way, you need to make the best decision for you. Good luck!

100lbs Lost - Can't believe this is me

You look fantastic! Way to rock that sleeve. -
Bread...Why did I do it? :(
Traci J. replied to deedeemuffin's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am 2 months out and had a grilled cheese sandwich last night and didn't have a problem....I was scared I would though as it was the 1st bread I've had also other than a very little bite here and there. Maybe you just ate it too fast, or too much?? I'd try again in a few weeks and just eat slower and less and see if you have better tolerance. -
is pasta really that bad for you, when you can only eat 2oz ?
Traci J. replied to belle2304's topic in Food and Nutrition
You can also make manicotti or lasagna but instead of using noodles, cut zuchinni length wise, very thin and grill so it's a little crispy. It tastes just as good, and you're getting a veggie -
32 lbs. down, 12" lost. Been slow going...was hoping for at least 50 lbs...but I'll get there.
