HA! Take THAT stall!

My nut told me if I am ever in a true stall , no weight loss for 2 weeks to up my calories by 100 , if still nothing after a week up it again another 100. I have not yet tried this ( knock on ex husbands head ) but several people in our group have and swear it works for them .

You totally cracked me up with that! 

BAHAHAHA There soooooooo needs to be a love button on this thing!

My guess -- 30 - 20 grams carbs per day and high fat (healthy fats only - Macadamia Nuts, Avocado)...this is my guess ;-)

Not necessarily just healthy fats but you certainly wouldn't want to gun down a lb of bacon either. 

I drink with straws, too.  I did pre-op, and I just can't break the habit.  So far, no issues. :)

YAY for broken stalls! 

My surgeon recommends drinking from straws, for the exact reason of swallowing less air.  Opinions go both ways, I guess, but I can definitely drink more with a straw.  I'll give up diet soda, but I'll keep my straws.  lol

I have struggled since surgery three months ago to get in enough fluids.  I'm in a constant state of dehydration.  (Getting average for 40 or so oz) the only days I get more in are days I use straws.  I tried not to, but I think it is going to be something I have to do all the time now.  If it is in a cup with a straw, I will down the whole thing.  A water bottle? Takes forever.  I do not know why, I just know that straws seem to work for me. 

I know it's kind of a mind over matter sort of deal. I'm in the same boat. It's really hard for me to get my fluids in otherwise.

Me and fluids try and get along but I struggle too , I really have to focus on it all day long ...I love straws too , don't bother me one bit !
