The salt and carbs in the chips can cause you to hold onto water.

Since you have identified it as a potential problem (it stands out as the culprit based on the rest of your behaviors), I would suggest stop eating the chips and follow the plan laid out by your surgeon and see if you start losing again.

You are probably just stalled and it'll move soon.  I do recommend you ditch the Special K chips right now, keep them out of your house if you are addicted to them.  During the honeymoon period, you'll lose weight no doubt about it....once the malabsorption is gone then if you make it a habit to eat things like chips daily it could very well cause you problems.

Are you logging your intake?  How much are you eating a day?  You have a short time to optimize the weight loss, please use it wisely.  Refocus today, forget about what in is the past you can't change it but you can make positive changes today and going forward.

How many calories are in those 13 chips?  Do you really think that amount of calories will prevent you from losing weight?

33 lbs in two months is pretty good weight loss.  You're probably just having a normal stall.  You might try getting in some exercise the other three days a week.  Even if it's not a whole hour, it might help.  And you might try trading the chips for a snack with protein and fewer carbs a couple times a week.

I love to read your comments. Thanks for positive and motivational post. I wish everybody could like you!! You are awesome!!

If it were me, I'd cut the chips for 14 days and see if it made a difference. The salt can hold water and the carbs are not on your plan, but 13 a day are not enough to cause gain, but I could see it preventing loss. Protein and hydration are your friends for loss. 

Good luck!

i doubt that 13 chips a day will cause you to stall if you are doing everything else right.  however you may not want to make it a daily habit.  That habit could become worse as time goes on.  maybe treat yourself to them once or twice a week if you are addicted to them.

I had a 1 month stall from week 4 to 8 and i am losing again.  i think you are going through a normal stall and sooner then later you will start to see the scale move again.

Hang in there and good luck!

 

I know for a fact it's not the chips. Every person's body is totally different. You have to be very careful seeking advice on these forums. I doubt very seriously that those 13 chips is causing your stall. I'm 5 months out and have lost 74lbs and had several stalls within the past 5 months. My surgeon told me that it was very normal and that the body is holding water. Continue to exercise, drink plenty of liquids and soon you will literally drop another 10lbs or so really quickly. I have cheese puffs at least 2 times a week but I do not indulge in them and I usually share them with my kids or count out 5 puffs to control the portions. No one on this page should ever judge anyone because we all have made mistakes with our weight that caused us to have WLS in the first place (I'm so sick of these judgmental folks on here...I'm like hello you use to be FAT and you had WLS)***irritated to the max** so with that being said, talk with your surgeon and your nutrition for support. Just be careful with the advice folks give you on here...good luck and congrats on your weight loss!!

Thank you So much for your response

there wasn't one person in this post being judgmental. perhaps your irritation is misplaced?
