Stall 2 weeks after revision?

[Suprisedtobesleeved 20]

I did lose a pound when I weighed this morning so I guess I'm not stalled now but slow as heck

I had my revision on January 8th. I lost 28 pounds the first 2 weeks and haven't lost a pound since. From what I'm reading, this seems pretty normal. Try not to get discouraged and hang in there

Blondie, have you tried making your own shakes? I couldn't tolerate any of the pre-made shakes because of the awful fake sweetness. It takes me five minutes to make my own (I use a stick/immersion blender but you could use a regular small blender or food processer). I put in the following:

I cup almond milk, I scoop unflavored Protein powder (mine is 17g/protein per scoop), 1/3 banana, 1 TB PB2 (powdered peanuts), 1TB high grade unsweetened cocoa, 2 TB fat free coolwhip, 2 packets of Splenda.

I think that comes out to about 200 calories and 18g Protein. Sometimes (if I know I am going to be running around and won't be able to eat for 3+ hours) I double it and sip it the whole time.

If I need more Fiber I add a TB of chia seeds which are great for tons of health reasons (including constipation) but which gel into a texture kind of like tapioca in the shake after 15ms, which some people don't like.

This shake tastes so much better than the premixed, is so much cheaper, healthier (fewer additives/less processed), and is super easy once you have all the ingredients.

** Sorry you guys, just realized this was a band to sleeve revision forum, I thought it was the regular post-op one, didn't mean to butt in.

Facing 50: I have a questions....Where can I get powdered peanuts? Are they raw peanuts and just ground to a powder? Can I do that in a food proccessor?

Bunny, the easiest way is to get it from Amazon or some other on-line provider. Look for PB2 (just put that or something like it - eg PB2 peanuts - into the search engine.) It seems expensive but it lasts me forever because I am not a huge Peanut Butter fan other than in shakes; I use it twice or three times a week in shakes and the lb bag I have should last for 4 months or so.
