Anyone just eat regular food and still lose weight?

[NtvTxn 1,262]

I am 3 weeks out and I have lost 25lbs (counting 1 week liquid diet also). Today I weighed and actually gained a pound even though I cannot even eat 4 ounces. I've been eating a lot of tuna fish with regular mayo and I ate some peas with it so I'm not eating low carb. I also eat yogurt and Soup for dinner. Should I try to be eating just low carb/high Protein or is it ok to not even worry about it right now? How did you lose weight?

I know I'm eating way less than I ever have before and this is the dreaded 3 week stall but I cannot help but wonder about my eating. Also I was sleeved in Mexico so I am trying to follow their instructions on Protein but its difficult.

Hopefully you aren't hungry. Under eat your sleeve, stick to the plan laid out by your doctor. You'll lose, I promise you!! I never had a "stall" - but I went up and down, up and down.....a few days, all the way to ten days, before letting go of a pound or two, then on to the next pound or two. I knew I was doing EVERY thing I should and NOTHING I should not. For me, I've always tried to under eat what I can hold. It's a lot more comfortable, if I stop when I FEEL full, it's too late and I'm uncomfortable, or worse.

I am 1 1/2 years out and in maintenance. I still cannot eat high or even moderate carbohydrates and maintain my weight. I still eat between 70-90 grams of Protein, under 50 grams of carbs and under 35 grams of fat -- unless I am hiking. In that case I can up the carbs and calories.

I do not eat white flour, white Pasta or white rice. I use only butter, olive and coconut oil (or animal fat). I still also enter everything into My Fitness Pal. It's habit now, like brushing my teeth.

I haven't had fast food except for El Pollo Loco and Taco Bell one or twice. I had one bite of a filet o' fish a year ago.

I will never go back to what is a "normal" diet. I try to make almost everything from scratch and go pretty much sugar free. Highly processed foods are off the list for good.

I never want to be fat again. I'm having too much fun!

I agree, I agree, I agree!!! I weigh and/or measure my food, weigh every single morning, under eat my sleeve and log my food. My new normal, it's as natural as breathing to me!

I had surgery on June 28, I've only lost 20 pounds and I'm 14 or so days out, y am I not losing weight?? I'm so frustrated. I am on reg food, I don't eat much, mainly veggies, is it because I need more Protein? I've not eaten much in the way of meat.< /p>

WOW! 20 pounds in 14 days?!?!?! That's AMAZING! Can you imagine losing 20 pounds pre-sleeve? I'm just about to complete my fourth week and I am 2 pounds shy from hitting 20 pounds...and I am VERY happy about that. You're doing awesome and guess what? It's going to keep coming off! Congratulations and good luck on your continued success.
