This really is not the way things should be post WLS. No, it's not good he ate the whole meal. We are supposed to be restricting our portions and allowing the sleeve to work for us - not working around it. If you eat too much and too often - you will be less successful. I don't know any plan that allows bread, pasta and rice - especially this soon out. When you are allowed carbs because of training - I imagine they'd prefer healthy carbs. A 6" flatbread has 38gms carbs. I'm sorry if you don't like the responses but they're honest. Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

Many surgeons will not perform surgery unless nicotine free for 30 days! Some insurance plans won't pay unless smoke free for 3-6 months! You will not heal well either! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

Ok...25 lbs in 3 weeks!!!! That is a crap load of weight!!! Of course you have stalled - your body is adjusting to all the changes. Keep doing what you're doing!

Ok...90 lbs loss is not failing!!! So you have a set back - it's easy to let old habits sneak back in. Try going back to basics. I also recommend counseling/therapy to deal with emotional eating. I'm doing it pre-op and surprised at how much it seems to be helping. You should be proud of your success so far and don't self sabotage!!! Here's a good article and also a 5 day reset you should try. Stay strong! http://www.helpguide.org/articles/diet-weight-loss/emotional-eating.htm

The most important right now is getting fluids. Sip constantly - Water, broth, sugar free pops, flavored water, Vitamin wafer zero, decaffeinated tea. Try different temps - some tolerate warm or hot over cold and vice versa. Stay strong!!! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App
