    I drink shakes many mornings for breakfast. I find it is an easy way to keep my calories lower.

    My doctor says stalls happen because the lower your weight goes it gets harder. Mine said to cut out more carbs and hit the gym more. I did that and it helped. I am a slow loser so it has just been 3 lbs since my last visit a few weeks ago.

    The Rules: Do you follow them?

    barriej9 replied to MichiganChic's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Thanks for posting this topic. We are all just human. I follow most pretty well but there are some I do not. I still eat too fast. I love sweets and I can eat them without dumping so it is making it harder to stop. I get in my proteins but I probably eat too many carbs. I use a straw on occasion.

    i would cut them with other things. Try mixing the shake with cold coffee. Coffee was the one thing that got that chemical taste out of my mouth. I also blend the vanilla with fruit. A lot of times your taste changes after surgery so maybe it will taste better post op.

    Walking around made me feel better. Also try sleeping in a chair rather than the bed.

    I waited about a week. My doctor said as long as I was off the heavy pain killers it would be fine.

    It the past I would eat several plates at a buffet. We went to one on Thanksgiving and I had one salad plate of food. I could also polish off a whole pint of Ben and Jerrys. Now a little goes a long way.
