this morning that maybe have not had your surgery yet. Last year I went through six months of pre surgery classes. Through all that time I wondered if it would work for me? How am I going to say no to the donuts at work? How am I going to say no to the birthday cakes? I have an addiction to sugar and could never say no before. I was so afraid that it was not going to work for me and I would fail again. Granted I am I slow loser but it works! I have lost 68 pounds in 7 months and I am doing it. I got through Christmas... Birthdays and Mondays through Sundays. Don't get me wrong there are days that it is more of a challenge but it works and you can do it! I am 60 years old and I don't ever remember weighing what I weigh now.... feels good. It is still hard to believe but I am a believer now. If I can do it .... definitely you can too!
I'm just coming up on 3 weeks out, so maybe not the best person to respond. My focus is on getting in my protein and fluids. Looking at MFP, I'm ~50g carbs a day. This will go up a bit when I start adding back in some veggies, I imagine, even though they will be non-starchy.
I'll be carefully watching my blood sugar response. I don't think we need too many carbs while losing, but it's not unhealthy to have some veggies when there's room for them.
Curious about those who are further out. I've seen responses from earlier threads from some pretty successful folks *****ally eat mostly meat.

Just wondering how many carbs you are all eating in a day - to lose weight and to maintain it.
Some soda - makes me sooo hungry and makes my pouch very insensitive to full/empty signals. Other - like brand name diet tonic (the one with aspartame as a sweetener) does not do that.
Also- diet soda like Pepsi or Coke or Sprite zero - irritates my bladder and ..I become semi "incontinent". stopping diet pepsi for a week - fixed the issue....
I may drink one (1) small diet soda a week without noticing its effect on my bladder...

the patches work for some people and don't work for others. The only way to know if they work on you - is to try it.

Miralax is the only thing that really work for me painlessly.
I had to increase to pain that I was having daily runny BM for a 2-3 days - then slowly decrease my daily morning dose when I have BM everyday - and it is neither hard or too soft.
on days I feel I did not have a complete BM I may add some extra Miralax (1/3 cap full) or evaluate if I drank enough water and ate enough food.
Fiber constipate me. Some of us - too much fiber may have just the opposite reaction to the one we wish for. I had to make sure I get enough fat in my diet - low fat diet - constipate me...
There is even study that shows that some people do much better with low fiber than high fiber diet.

I have been stalled between 187-188 for almost 2 months now. Have you ever been stalled this long, and started losing weight rapidly again? I'm trying my best to not get discouraged, because it's so nice to be back in the 100's. I'm still having bowel movement issues, and am only going 1-2 times per week. My doctor is trying to find medicine that works for me, since Benefiber and other things aren't working.
One of the other members had a ferritin of 6, which is dangerously low. She was taking a few hundred mg of elemental iron every day for a year, and the ferritin didn't budge. After three months on the patch multi, and an extra iron patch, her ferritin is already up to 28.

I agree that using Myfitnesspal and weighing every morsel is your best starting point.
Eating more food will not make you lose weight. Eating more makes us gain weight. You've been eating extra calories already. Identify where those extra calories are hiding, and cut back.

Hi! I don't have an answer, but just wanted to suggest you post this on one of the main boards. This one doesn't get much traffic!
